New House

So we have moved!!! Sorry we have been absent for so long (for those who actually read our blog :) ). But life has been CRAZY! With school, work, moving and going to Cali and Argentina in the next week its amazing we are still alive. I just can't WAIT until I graduate at the end of April. Anyway...we really love our new townhome, its so fun to be able to do what we want with the place. We really love our ward too. They have been so welcoming! There is so much to do when you are trying to fix up a place, I don't think we realized, but its been fun and we still have a ton to do. I think I've been to Home Depot and Lowes at least 6-10 times lately! Here are some pictures and a layout I did of our chaos:

Our first time entering our new home that we OWN! :)

 

                                                                                  

 

 

There was this carpet runner on the stairs. One of the first things I did was tear it off! Adrienne and I started painting that ugly paneling. It certainly is chaos! I love that picture of Zach and I too. So in love! Here is that layout I did of it all:

One year...

Besides being my favorite holiday, February 2nd is also our wedding anniversary. Its amazing to think that we have been married for a year now. I've never really been one to have that sensation of time passing quickly or slowly, but it does seem like the past year has gone faster than usual. I guess that means we're having fun. 

Since the 2nd was a Saturday, we decided to celebrate our anniversary on Friday evening to avoid staying out too late and being late for church on Sunday. We decided to go to dinner at The Melting Pot. For those who don't know, the Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant. Amy and I love fondue, so ever since Amy found out about the restaurant, she's wanted to go. I've wanted to go also, but had heard it was kind of expensive. We decided that we could afford one nice dinner a year and made reservations. We stayed downtown in a hotel Friday night to make the whole experience a little more formal. 

Fondue is seriously the most fun eating experience EVER! There's just something about dipping food in sauce or cooking meat in oil that gives the whole experience a creative feel. It's like you're creating your own food concoctions. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. 

Enjoying the cheese fondue appetizer. Boy, that was really cheesy... and there was a lot of cheese on that bite too.

Amy also enjoying the cheese fondue.

The main entree. A wide selection of raw meat and vegetables. (Amy was thoroughly grossed out by the raw meat) Behind, a myriad of sauces and batters to aid in the fondue creation process.

This is our experiment to see the difference between a raw shrimp and a cooked shrimp...

Taking advantage of our waitress as she brought the dessert fondue, we asked her to snap a picture of us together. 

Yin Yang chocolate fondue: Where the white chocolate and the milk chocolate meet together without prejudice in perfect chocolate nirvana.

Oh, and Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow... 6 more weeks of winter...  

Letter to a thief...

To the person who stole my license plates:

Obviously you don't know me, I am just the owner of the random car you picked to take the license plates from. I don't know your intentions with them, I probably don't want to. Hopefully you don't use them for a bank robbery or anything like that. Maybe you're just too broke to register your own car... or, Maybe you just liked the letters PFH, I know I do. I was reminded of that Farmers insurance commercial when the guy finds his car has been stolen, all those weird things start occuring. There weren't any cats barking like dogs (even though there were a plethra of cats), but there was that strange feeling.

Still, I just wanted you to know that it was a great inconvenience for me because I'm sure you weren't thinking of that when you took them. Obviously I couldn't drive my car this morning. Without license plates, I would've been pulled over, so I walked to work. Not that I'm complaining, I should walk to work more often. It isn't very far from my house and I could use the excercise. However, walking in 17 degrees F when it feels like 6 degrees, not cool, er warm as it were.

So, next time you need to steal my license plates... at least consider the weather... Or leave me $10 for the replacement plates.

Sincerely,

Zach

PS. I didn't appreciate the message in the frost on the hood either. I don't know who you were refering to with DX is or why he sucks, but the hood of my car is not the place to leave that message.
