Die hard Foodies

As most of our family and friends know, we have a bit of a food obsession. One night last week we had steaks for dinner with a cabbage from Levi's mom's garden, and as we were preparing dinner I realized that we were evidently having a super-sized night.

The steaks.....

 

...were ginormous. 

The cabbage, as compared to a head of lettuce from Walmart...


...And compared to Levi's head...


... was MASSIVE! 

We gave a third of the cabbage to the Larsens, a third to the Bakers, and we still couldn't finish it after 3 nights. I don't know what Mom Campbell used for fertilizer, but that is the biggest cabbage I have ever seen in my life. Fun times!

Why hellooooooo!

Hey guess what! We're still here!! Ü 

As summer started winding down, life started speeding up! August included Hadli Mae Larsen's baby blessing, working the chiropractic booth at the fair, Zane's 6th birthday, several weddings, two demolition derbies, Morgan's 9th birthday, the Brigham City temple open house, teaching a lesson AND giving talks in church in the same day, AND ..... a job interview! 

[pause for breath] 

September has been been even busier - I started my new job!! It's at Thermo Fisher, which up until now I'd never even heard of. (And I still can't adequately describe what they do there. ...Which is why the name is hyperlinked.)  But I am now their main receptionist and report to the executive team. Every day I find out more duties within the scope of my position, and while feeling completely overwhelmed, I still LOVE it! I sincerely miss my daily naps, and all of my patients, and being able to keep Facebook open in the background constantly... but new experiences are good, right? :) And I am slowly getting used to being gone 9 hours every day.

We also went to a BYU game! 

Thank you bossman Todd!!


Don't judge me, I know I usually openly detest BYU, BUT it was the Les Schwab sponsored game and Levi's boss gave us box seats! Who could say no to that. And then he asked "Do you have any friends that would want to go to a BYU game too?" Only one. :) Logan Baker is one of our great friends, and he loves the Cougars. So we planned it out with his wife and told him we were just going to breakfast... and then got on the freeway instead of coming home. I wish we'd had the camera on to catch the look on his face! It was a great time.

We love our Logan and Chloe!

I think Levi's favorite part was the food . . . 

Catering from Tucanos
The BYU marching band was a lot better than Weber's. A lot.

And all that was just in the first week of September. Since then, we've had Alyssa June Nutt's baby blessing, Parade of Homes, stake conference, new internet and tv... what have I missed? Levi spends almost all of his days off hiking and scouting for deer now. Hunting season is almost upon us! And then I will get to be a single woman til my birthday! Hello, late nights with Hastings rentals and Chili's takeout. :D
