Turkeys are muy delicioso!

I didn't post because it was kinda THANKSGIVING yesterday, and I was all about stuffing my face and chillaxin' with my amazing family. :) However, I hope all 'yall had an AWESOME turkey day!! There's tons of snow on the ground up here in Utah this weekend, and man oh man. I miss the snow! Lol...sounds kinda crazy for all those who have had about enough of it, but it's SO fun and reminds me that Santa Clause will be comin' to town soon. Woot woot! Haha...well "Bubba Claus," anyway! I've just LOVED spending time with my fam. I miss them a bunch! We'll be hiking up the mountains for a Christmas tree today, so that should be fun. It's a good thing I actually brought snow boots this time. Last year, I was "smart" and wore jogging shoes and the good old snow seeped in and froze my toes pretty good! I was scared I'd take my shoes off and would see a "Mr. Deed's" foot!! Ahh! Haha, but luckily that didn't happen and no freaky dude wanted to change my socks. ;) Anyways, that was kinda random! But yeah...I'm grateful for all that I have in my life. God. Family. Good Friends. Love that never ends. Food. Shelter. Happiness. Everything. Life is truly a blessing and I'm grateful for every moment. :) I hope you all had a fun Thanksgiving. :) I know I'm still trying to recover from that "turkey coma." It's a good feeling and I'm not feeling "guilty" because it only happens once a year! *raising the roof* Ok...that enough of this random post. ;)

What would YOU do? WARNING: PG-13 information!

Ok, since we're all adults,I'm just gonna get right down to the nitty gritty. Well, when a husband and a wife love eachother they have "family time." Lol....and that's right folks, all sorts of fun things were going on at the Asendorf household! Except, the moment the doorbell rang" fun" was cutt short a little. Jared peaked out the window to see who it was and lo and behold, the elders from our ward were standing on our front porch. What to do? Anyone? This kind of occurance had never happened to us before! Jared freaked out, so he turned the lights off in our bedroom to make it look like no one was home. Eek! Haha...but I'm thinking that they saw the light on and just figured we were "up!" What does one do in a situation like this? All I could do was bust out laughing!! But now, with Sunday coming up, how do you explain why you couldn't answer the door? They obviously saw the light on when they first got here, and magically it" shut itself off?" Lol....We were thinkin that we would just tell them that we were" in the shower." But...uh...that doesn't sound right either! Bahaha! What to do? Has this ever happened to anyone else before? Suggestions would be appreciated. :)

Bubba's 24th Birthday Bash!

Jared turned into an old man last week! ;) And boy, does he get cuter with age! To celebrate, we of course did the traditional cake and ice cream (or ice cream cake) that to me tasted freezer burned and totally nasty, but Jared put on a smile and ate it anyways! Poor guy. ;) He loved his b-day present though, and is somewhat glued to it for a while when he comes home. (It's a PS3) Haha. One of the other cool parts of him turning 24 was that we were able to "get away" for the weekend, to a place that both of us had never been before! We took a three hour drive to the central coast of San Simeon, to the Hearst Castle. It was way fun! We turned off both of our phones for the weekend and just enjoyed spending quality time togeher. I love my birthday boy and think that he's pretty much the best! :) If I can somehow figure out how to post up pics of the birthday weekend from my phone, I will!

bakersfield...is cool?

Wow! There's been a lot of changes this last month. From moving to beautiful country to cockroaches and heat. Cool! Hana. Anyhow, This last month has been a blast. We have all our furniture set up, And it's starting to feel like home.. Well sort of.
Since there is no babies in the picture yet, Jared and I have talked about getting a puppy. We'll see how that plays out but in thet meantime, I'm just loving the residential bugs. Some say i've become quite the exterminator!
I'm loving the oven that I have now. When we lived in boise we didn't have one. This is a huge luxury! However my cooking still kind of stinks. I'm loving being a little homemaker. Its hard work but fun stuff. I am grateful for my hardworking husband! He pretty much rocks my socks. He just got called to be the scout master in our ward. I know he'll be awesome at it! The bishop apologized because they don't have anything for me yet but I told him to take his time. Haha.
It's so nice to have the internet now! Thanks to the droid I just got yesterday! I can't believe a phone could be so capable for doing so many things. I still dont know how to work it all the way, but I'm having fun trying.
So all in all things are working out just fine in nothingville! Can't wait to go back one day though and live the good old country life again.
Well i better go hit the pavement ( go running).
Peace out from bakersfield!

2 Years ago today....

I married my BEST friend, forever.

I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this guy. He's amazing! I look forward to growing old with him. I love watching old people holding hands, so deeply in love. You know that they have many sweet memories together, as well as the bad but that's what makes them stronger. There's no one else in this world that I would want to experience thick and thin with. And every year that passes only seems to get better! I don't know how, but it does.

I can't spend today with my sweety....but I'm soo excited to celebrate with my man this weekend!! I can't wait to jump into his arms. He gives the BEST hugs to. I just imagine it being like "The Notebook," and him spinning me around. :) hehehe...I'm such a romantic.

I love you babe!

Here's to forever.

Love,

Minnie Kimmy

What a whirlwind!

I was feeling a bit sick to my stomach for a while (not in the way people may think)..but because of the job/apprenticeship search that my husband has been going through. Times have been tough out there and with the good ole' economy the way that it's been, we haven't been holding out too much hope for Jared getting into a good apprenticeship program.

Nevertheless, after MANY days turning into months of job search, e-mailing resumes, fasting, praying and humbling ourselves, I'm pleased to say that miracles Do happen! :) Jared just found out yesterday that we will be moving to good ole' sunny............ Bakersfield! Yeah, I know it's Bakersfield, but it's an apprenticeship! :)

I will miss my family here in Utah, but I know we'll be coming back someday soon, since this is where we'd like to settle down. Meanwhile, we're counting our blessings and taking it one step at a time.

I'm thankful to God for his love and constant care he has for us. Although we may not feel deserving of his blessings, he loves and wants the best for all of us. I know that I've seen some incredible miracles happen in our family over the last few years and all that I can feel right now, is pure gratitude.

So, we're going on an adventure.... "California here we come!" :)

Sweet 23

Another year older...and wiser too? Hahaha, well on Sunday I turned the big 2-3. It was a lot of fun! Because my birthday was on a Sunday this year, my hubby and I celebrated on friday night at a ritzy restaurant in Logan called " Le Nonne." The atmosphere was romantic, the food was Italian and the atmosphere was superb. :) I loved how they turned an old Logan house into a yummy restaurant! If you're coming to Logan, UT I would definitely suggest it! I had some "hot pasta" that was so spicy, that it turned my lips red and made my nose run. It was bomb! Jared had a bolognese pasta that was cheesy and meaty and sooo decadent, but so delicious! After dinner, we came home and snuggled up to a movie. The perfect end to a perfect evening!

Saturday came around and the whole fam-damily came over to my mom and dad's to party. We put together little party bags for the kids, bought TONS of candy (I'm still trying to detox) ate lots of cupcakes, played lots of games, including: the Lolli-PoP game, a balloon relay race (hahaha....I wish I had some pictures of the kids popping them with their bums, so cute!) and a tricky bean-bag toss. It reminded me of games I'd play as a little kid at my little girl birthday parties. :) It brought back lots of fun memories!

Sunday came around, I woke up and my hubby was waiting with card in hand and a box on the bed. :) A good morning kiss was all I needed to satisfy. I love that boy more than anything! I especially love his creative-ness. He made me an adorable home-made card and somehow, from another singing card, took the music box thingy out and assembled it in his card, that he made! I opened it up and it sang "How sweet it is, to be loved by you!" Then, I opened the box and out comes TONS of chocolate! Yay! Then, to my surprise was a few pairs of skinny jeans! I hope they still fit after eating all of the chocolate!! Thank goodness for sharing! :)

It was a fun weekend! I love birthdays (except for the getting old part)...but who's counting? Up next is little Melody's birthday! She'll be six years old, on the sixth! She's growing so fast! Yay for May babies. :)
