The Greatest Thing EVER!

I may have just discovered the greatest thing ever!

Yesterday, while at the store checkout I decided I wanted a pack of gum.

I'm normally a 5 gum girl.

I'm particularly fond of the "React," flavor.



It is black which makes Brent think I'm eating black licorice. Black licorice grosses Brent out. I swear you would think I was eating spiders the way he reacts. Also, it is just minty delicious. Ultimately I prefer mint gum and I'm not to fond of sweet flavors. I don't really even like bubble gum flavored gum.

However, as I stood there unable to find my favorite gum I noticed Extra's Desert Delights gum. Like I said I'm not a big fan of sweet flavored gums so I kind of ignored it at first. Then it was our turn to check out and I was out of time. Heaven forbid I just go without!

So I grabbed the Extra Desert Delights figuring I would try it and then give the rest of the pack to the kids.

As we walked out to the car I unwrapped the pack and took out a piece of Extra Desert Delights Key Lime Pie. The first thing I noticed is that it smelt extra yummy (no pun intended). I actually sniffed the pack and encouraged Brent to take a sniff.


He declined.

I still didn't have high hopes because I like the smell of bubble gum, but I don't like the taste. Then I tried my first piece. It was delicious and tasted just like key lime pie. I love key lime pie and most of the time when something is trying to taste like something it isn't it doesn't.:)

I love that I keep writing these complicated sentences.

My biggest mistake is that I left the gum sitting on my kitchen counter and I have kids who also enjoyed the gum. Now I need to find a hiding place that they won't think of and I won't forget. Or else I could just buy more. :)

Once again I find it is the small things in life that just make me smile. So go today and buy yourself a little stick of happiness. There are three dessert flavors. :)

This is not a paid review I just really (x10) enjoyed this gum. This is normally when my husband says, "You have issues!"

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive! 

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
