a really short cap of our saturday

What better thing to do then talk about your weekend after a long working Monday? That’s what I thought. This weekend Brand and I enjoyed ourselves, we knew we had to make the very best of it because we were starting our new school year. If you live in Arizona you probably know about the telethon that AHS puts on every year, well, Brandon and I were helpers at the telethon this year. I have to say it was a whole lot of fun having all those animal lovers under one roof. Between holding fluffy… Read More

what do you do in the temple

there’s a first time for everything…

This weekend flew by, of course it’s like most weekends and it was actually pretty eventful. So Friday night we remembered we had a giftcard to texas roadhouse –never been there before– and so of course that’s where we headed.
