A tribute to our dear fish, Matey...

So as of last friday our apartment was the proud owner of four new fish... Ahoy, Matey, Scallyway, and Yarg. (They were obviously pirate fish you see...)
By day two, Ahoy, Scallyway, and Yarg were gone. *Tear* But we still had Matey! Until two days ago that is.

Here is a picture of him the day before he passed as well...



There has been talk around the apartment of buying yet another fish. My vote is for a beta. They are my fav. :)

Just because it says "Dishwashing Liquid" doesn't mean you can put it in a dishwasher...

Yeah... This was the discovery I made on Tuesday night. I was in my room with Jessie (best friend) when Katie, the counsin of Jessie Jo (lovely roommate), announced that there were bubbles oozing from our dishwasher.

Sure enough, as I ran into the kitchen I could very clearly see what she was talking about. There stood a lovely puddle of fluffy white that was slowly creeping it's way closer and closer to the carpet...

Long story short, Laura and I grabbed spoons, cups, and a bucket and scooped all the bubbles out of the dishwasher and off the floor before anything too much more drastic happened.

Lesson learned: Read dish soap bottles carfully. They can be clever. My only excuse/defense is that I'm just used to the powder kind.

Anyway, at least we have a really clean dishwasher now. :)

When fog freezes durring the night...

Last night I could just tell by the fog that we were going to have another amazing frost day today! Check it out!

I just love winter! Even in Logan...

The frosty red berries. (These just happen to be by the dumpster on our street. Ironic I know)...



And random crazy plants/trees around Blue Light...







The pink sunrises over the Rocky Mountains...





Our family Christmas tree...





Celebrating Jessie's 21st birthday with virgin margaritas at El Toro because we were trapped in the valley...



Ice skating at Merlin Olsen park under the stars and the temple (which I still need a picture of)...
