Lately...

Most of our weekend was spent between Costco and Steph's basement. On Saturday we picked up a treadmill for Steph that she had beenwanting and thought we would just get it bought and set up for her or it might never get done. We brought it to her house and unloaded the supermassive oversized box in her kitchen after much huffing and puffing. We called some of her boy neighbors over to help heft the track downstairs and spent an hour assembling it, then we plugged it in...it didn't work. We knew right then what we would be doing on our holiday monday. Long story short, the treadmill is set up now and Steph hates winter less now, mission accomplished.
Also, Matt got a great new box to play with. On Monday we also finally decided to get a new little friend. He is 8 weeks old. We got him from a breeder in Ogden and we are excited. Matt intends to train him as a bird dog. He is a smart little guy and can already sit on command.
Kristin loves him because he cuddles with her. In other news our water came back on! We have had frozen pipes for 2 weeks now and have showered at Stephs and pulled all of our toilet flushing/teeth brushing/dish washing water from the river. At 6:34 am today the ice melted and the water came rushing back. Kristin is very excited. Also this weekend Matt went on a campout with the deacons teachers and priests in the ward. He went to a members cabin in American Fork canyon and spent the weekend snowmobiling and skiing. It was lots of fun and he loves his calling.
