''There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up,'' Obama told an audience at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. ''I don't know what it is. But that's what happens.'' -- NY Times, August 21, 2009

Road trip summer.

Here are some pictures from our Vegas trip. We had so much fun!

This week we are headed to Cali!

This weekend was Dalaney's family reunion.

We camped in the mountains, ate delicious dutch oven masterpieces, and scanned the lake shores for gold using the metal detector.

A few weeks ago, I excitedly bought a new pair of sunglasses from Forever 21.

I couldn't wait for Dalaney to meet them. When he first saw me, he even acknowledged them. But not because he realized they were new and thrilling.

Dalaney: "Hey, you finally got your sunglasses out of my car."

Me: "Um, no, honey. I didn't leave these sunglasses in your car. I JUST bought them!!! Aren't they cute?"

For days he argued with me.
I quickly dismissed his claim and attributed it to typical male fashion ignorance. Because not every pair of brown sunglasses are the same...

When I next stepped into his car wearing the sunglasses, I gasped.
I had two pairs of the same exact sunglasses.
The thing is, I have no recollection of buying the first pair. How is that even possible?
At least now I know, I must genuinely love these sunglasses.

My current addiction= pupusas.
Native to El Salvador, they are made with masa hyrnia (similar to corn flour) and contain savory fillings such as cheese, beans, and meat.
Dalaney and I love Provo's El MexSal, a hybrid of delicious Mexican and Salvadorian food.
We visit so often that we even have our own designated seat near the wall.
My mouth is drooling just thinking about them.

I'm dying to cook a batch at home.

Splendid Saturday

Home from a quick Vegas getaway (coming soon),
Dalaney and I shared a whimsical Saturday afternoon together.

Although most individuals associate Saturdays with rainbows and fairies, this is not the case for us. This summer, we've subjected ourselves to an LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) prep course. Every Saturday at 8am.
After being mentally drained, I tend to leave the class kicking, screaming, and crying. Literally.

Despite our heinous morning, we managed to find the perfect adventures.
This included:

A stake activity at Trafalga Fun Center.
Think: unlimited batting cages, pizza, go-karts, arcade games, and Dippin' dots. My dream home features state of the art batting cages. They are too much fun!

My new favorite activity, an antique store in Spanish Fork.

Hawaiian-style snow cones. Yummm.

Test driving Segways. Which, by the way, are terrifying.

Har Krishna's Llama Fest. This probably requires some explaining, but to be honest, I don't really know where I'd begin.
I can't wait for this weekend!
