The Burn

Monday Justin went to school early and he was soo nice and wonderful and turned our furnace on. It was so fabulous to wake up to a warm house. But after I got up and got ready for work I realized that I had no idea how to turn it off.
We have an ancient furnace, circa 1945, no joke. So I looked inside and saw 2 nobs 1 I figured was for the pilot light and the other was the gas. I was having turning issues, I could not get the gas to turn off. On my second attempt my hand slipped and met up with a very hot object. So I decided to stop for a min and put some ice on it. It didn't look to bad, so I attempted to turn it off again. After the 4th try or so I got the gas off.
After a few min at work I noticed I had a nice burn on my hand (about an inch long.) Thankfully it didn't hurt, I was happy about that.
When I got home I told Justin about it and what happened, he laughed and said I was silly. Well a little bit later that night he went to turn of the furnace and also got a burn on his hand. :)
The image is pretty close to what our furnace looks like, except on the inside the Gas shut off valve is right next to the burner. Which is what I burned my hand on. After 5 days the burn is looking pretty sad. The blister popped and left me with some nice dark discoloration. It is also beginning to scab over in parts and itch.

On A Good Note Justin is done with classes!! I am so happy for him. Monday is the only day he has finals! He has done good this term and I am sooo happy he gets a few weeks off to relax!

Christmas is Coming!!!!

I am excited for Christmas!!!!!
Last year I had a Fabulous Christmas with Justin's family in Seattle! (I fell in love with it. It is sooo green and cloudy)
This year We are having a BIG family reunion with my Family! I am super excited to see every one that can come.
This has got me thinking about my family:
I have been blessed with such a great family! I really don't believe it sometimes. I have fantastic in laws, who are very supportive and a lot of fun.
I have great Brothers and Sisters in Law who make me laugh and are also a ton of fun. I have Great niece's and nephews who are super cute and also funny! I feel like I fit in as a Tunagte!
I have a great family who loves me sooo much and Fantastic brothers and sisters who I love to just hang out with and talk to.
I love where I work and the people I work with. I have Fun Friends and neighboors!
Lastly but not leastly I have a GREAT husband. He is supportive, funny, hansome, a good listener, and helpful.
I just never thought I could be soo happy!! I love you all!!!
Merry Christmas!

Woodburry Art Museum

Last night Justin and I went to the Woodburry Art Museum. We went to see the current photography exhibit. The exhibit was a collection of photo's from Brazil. I really enjoyed this exhibit; the colors were beautiful, and they did a great job of contrasting distruction and life. My favorite was this little girl with a bird on her head. It is super cute!
There are several other displays there.
One is some Oil portraits. I liked the speak flowers one the best. (Urgh there was one I just hated the compisition and emotion are awful, just not a good painting.)
There was also one where the artist was experimenting with paralel lines. (thats all it is , parallel lines with color. Justin did not care for it:) but I liked it )
And another exhibit done with oil pastels, I thought it was pretty cool, the artist uses alot of paterns and portrates.
There was also a sculpture exibit most of the peices were ok, nothting to write home about. After looking at several we decided that most of the items on display were meant to be hung up. Which was sad because that is how the artisit obviously wanted them displayed, and may have changed our mind about the exhibit.
Lastly there was a small exhibit by Jame Christensen. It was cool so see some more of his artwork. (my sisters brother inlaw lived down the street from him for a while and the house they were renting had a few pices of his in it.) My favorite one of his there was the Fairy Tale painting. It is preety cool!
I recomed you go and see the current exibit. It is free and it is always nice to get out and do something!
I really want to go to BYU's MOA and check it out now!
The Woodburry Art building is super easy to get to it is right next to Nordstroms at the University Mall on the south side of the building. Walk inside and go up the stairs and around the corner and there is the gallary. Here is a link http://www.uvu.edu/museum/ so you can get more information.
Also 2 of the paintings I liked are on the home page:)
Have a great day!
Oh man, seeing this really made me want to get creative and draw soemthing....

Thanksgiving

The Turkeys turned out Fabulous!!! I was so happy that we were able to fit 2 Turkeys into my parents oven! Also the gravy that came from the turkeys was pretty FAB too. The Bay and Lemon Brined Turkey was very tender and tasted sooo good! The Maple Roasted turkey was also pretty fab! It was also very tender and NOT DRY! I was soooo happy about that!
Anyways we had a great Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to Christmas!!!
Enjoy the recipe links!
