Perhaps a little childish...

It seems as all my ftf's lately have had to do one with another. It's not on purpose, but as I mentioned last week, I am always cold. Therefore, when I saw flannel sheets in the store, I had to buy them. Yes, you heard right, I have flannel sheets on my bed. Who knew they even made them for king beds? Good to know we are not the only couple out there with cute flannel sheets on our bed :) (They are really cute though, right?!)
But seriously, I am always freezing when everyone else is just fine and I hate getting into a cold bed. So, before I go to bed I turn on the fireplace in our room (another one of my favorite things btw), shut the door to create my own little sauna, then jump into my toasty warm bed. Flannel sheets, I love you and I don't care who knows it.

In keeping with the Season...

My favorite thing this week is anything pumpkin spice. I guess not anything, but lattes, cappuccinos and any drink that can be made pumpkin spice. I am always cold, so they are my favorite thing to warm me up. Lance is also hooked, it's great!No whipped cream though..just lots of foam. YUM!

I scream, you scream...

My Favorite Thing Friday is Dryer's ice cream. Any flavor really, but during the Holidays it's the limited edition Peppermint. Yum, I love peppermint ice cream and Dryers slow churned is the best ice cream out there.
Don't believe me? Come check my freezer...or all 3 of them. Yes, I have 3 and if I didn't I wouldn't have enough room for all my ice cream. And yes, it may be time for an intervention. :)

Sweet Potato Fries

Are my guilty pleasure...okay, one of my guilty pleasures. I love them and have to try them whenever I am somewhere that has them. Lucky for me, more restaurants are serving them these days. And, you can buy them in stores and make them at home! These are from Costco and are my favorite "home made" fries...and trust me, I have tried many. I would tell you all to go buy them because they are so delicious, but then you will and the Costco will discontinue them. Happens to me all the time!!

But really, you should buy them if you shop at Costco because they are amazing! But, if you want the best sweet potato fries ever...go to Rumbi. They are the best, hands down! Happy FTF!

A trip up the Canyon

A few weeks ago Lance and drove up Big Cottonwood Canyon to see the leaves.

It was beautiful! We drove up Gaurdsman's Pass where there was SNOW! I was not ready for that. This picture is at the very top.On the way down we stopped to take some more pictures and went across this little bridge. As we did, my Cookie Lee earring fell out and in between the slats. Really, what are the odds of that? It couldn't just land ON the bridge?!We were able to see it in the water, but it was way too deep to reach in get...So my Knight in Shining Armor went under the bridge with a stick to get it out. For regular folk this might not seem like a big deal, but well, Lance is TERRIFIED of earrings. Don't ask, I don't get it either, but he is. He won't pick them up for me, he can't stand it when I leave them on the bathroom counter and he definitely cannot watch me put them in or take them out. Unfortunately, he was unsucessful in pulling it out of the water (I think ultimately the thought of it grossed him out too much).So I took a try...And was able to fish it out! You may not be able to see it, but it's on the end of that stick...with some moss.
The whole thing was just really funny! I came home and soaked the earring in alcohol for a couple of days, but still haven't been able to wear it. Stream water is clean, right?!
