Utah has a wonderful state holiday to celebrate the pioneers: July 24th. And, as a working woman now I love it even more because it's a PAID holiday. Last year for Pioneer Day, Kevin and I went to Pioneer Park and saw a display of classic cars, toured a pioneer village complete with a blacksmith, looked at pictures of Provo from a long time ago, and scoured every booth looking for a scone. But alas, we could not find a single scone. How can one celebrate pioneers without scones? Preposterous! Thus began our planning to have our own scone booth at this year's event.
Tonight we're going to the store to get everything we need for FIVE HUNDRED scones. Hence the need for a refreshing beverage...you didn't really think all that soda was for us, did you? Hopefully we've planned wisely and don't end up with surplus soda!
In other exciting news that adds to the chaos that has ensued this blessed week in which we celebrate the pioneers, Kevin and I found a new place to live! We are sad to leave our first abode but I'm pretty sure the washer and dryer, dishwasher, and YARD will soothe us just fine. No more Spin Zone! The previous tenants were anxious to sell their contract. We bought it and now have less than a week to get moved in and our old place cleaned. It's an older duplex with all wood/linoleum floors, 2 bedrooms, and a garage. We can have company now without making them sleep in the living room!

AHHHHHH! Good luck with the moving! Be glad you're not exhasted from your current state of being! You are going to love having more room. And perhaps I'll come visit you and Calli this fall.
Good luck, too, with your scone booth. Makes me want a scone so bad right now.
isn't July the BEST month to work in Utah!? especially when you have a grown up job and still get paid for those two patriotic holidays. yay!
where are you moving to? (obviously you'll have to email me) :) gooberdiva13@yahoo.com or gmail.com
no need to make scones-just go to chuck-o-rama. you can get unlimited scones, honey butter, and a whole meal for 7 bucks. i would go to the one on university ave near provo towne centre. much better atmosphere there. and go for lunch. it's cheaper :)
(and i promise it's good. our family has been going there for YEARS.)
Tess I've found your blog and am now going to read it!! I hope you don't mind! For the record I am TOTALLY jealous you're getting a washer/dryer, 2 bedrooms, garage, etc. etc. We have yet to experience all those luxuries. Until then our guests too will continue sleeping in the living room! :o) Glad you're doing well!
Congrats on the new place!! how exciting!!
Good luck with the scone making. I might have to get your recipe!
It was so fun to see you guys there! Kip and I were very impressed with your scones. You did a great job. :) I hope it turned out to be a wonderful day!
