Taking care of some "to-do's"

Ryan and I have a lot of fun together.  Especially when we are being ridiculous and weird.  Take two nights ago for instance - in the back of the house we found some cinder blocks and knew right away what we should do with them...make a fire pit!  We have wanted to make it for a few weeks now, so, we found a bucket and set off to find some gravel.  We drove around east provo until we found it - the random mound of dirt/rocks in a little field on the side of the road!  Perfect!  As we were gathering rocks (with our hands, since we would rather buy groceries than a shovel) we began to notice all of the cars that were driving suspiciously slow by us.  We soon realized that we were at the intersection of a famous part of provo - the way up to the "Y" trail.  Oops!  We started laughing, thinking about what the passerbys could be thinking...I don't blame them, we really did look hilarious.  But, we made a beautiful makeshift fire pit that we can't wait to use!  Sitting around the fire, chatting, and eating gooey s'mores is one of our favorite things to do.

A few weeks ago, we watched a documentary on food.  Bad idea.  We already knew that processed food is bad for you, but after watching this I have a hard time walking by the meat aisle.  Now we try our best to buy fresh vegetables and fruits in their season, and buy local deli meat instead of the big brand names.  In honor of our new health kick, we planted a garden! Hip! Hip! Hooray! Tomatoes, peppers, melons and zucchini.  We picked out a sunny patch of yard and started digging and watering, making a nice mud pie.  We then added some compost and soil, and by then our garden was looking quite nice.  After planting our veggies, we stepped back and admired our little 3x5 garden box (made with cinder blocks of course) and can't wait to see how the plants produce in a few months, and look forward to not only saving a little money but enjoying some homegrown food.
