Yummy!!

In posting this I realize it is not going to be the most entertaining and 'fun' post of all time, but it is a mile stone for me and I am proud!! Most of you know that in the past year Todd and I have been focusing on food storage, and trying to put together our supply. Well this past week I have experimented with a new form of food storage, bottling!!! It always seemed hard and time consuming so I just ignored it, but no more. From here on out you can call me Bottling Brittany!!!

My good friend Ashley and I went in on 40 pounds of chicken and took to the bottling!! It turned out to be surprisingly easy and super gratifying!! Next on my list is beef and then fruits, jams, and salsa!! Watch out bottling world, I have arrived!!!
40 pounds looked like a lot before hand, but once we bottled them it turned out to be not so much. We finished with about 22 pint jars each. So Todd and I can split 1 1/2 chicken breast once every other week for a year!! I think I might do it again, just to get some more in our storage!!
It kinda looks like a biology experiment, but I swear its a chicken breast!! They say it will last up to 10 years on the shelf like this. A lady in our ward opened one after 13 years and it was still really good.

This was so easy, I promise, so all of you get out there and start bottling!

St. George

Todd and I had the wonderful opportunity last weekend to head down to St. George!! We always love heading down there but this time it was super exciting! Todd's uncle and aunt were taking out their endowments and being sealed in the St. George temple!! It was a wonderful experience and we are so glad we got to go!! Congrats Jeff and Marie!!!
Jeff, Marie, Grandma Wallace, handsome Todd, and Me!!

My first purse!!

For about a month I have been working on making a purse! It has been a really fun project and I have enjoyed the process from start to finish. However, about a week ago I hit a sewers block and I could not go any further. I did not understand the wording or how to go about putting the final touches on the purse. Luckily my Mom came into town this last weekend, and I put her to work. She helped me finish the project, and now I am able to sport a brand new fun purse. I used the scraps from some of my quilts, and I am pleasantly surprised at my newest creation...

Jeffs Big Day!!

Well the time has come, yet another little sibling of mine is off in the BIG world!! Jeff (my hilarious and ever so sweet 18 year old brother) came out with my Mom this past weekend so we could drop him off at school. BYU has taken another Suppes child, Jeff is a freshman this year and so far is loving it. We had fun dropping him off and making sure he was set for the semester. Reluctantly he allowed Mom and I to buy him things of color, to help bring his dark and dreary college dorm to life (every 18 year old college guys dream right?!?)

Todd and I wishing Jeff good luck...

It was a bit emotional for me and I had a hard time letting him go. Jeff is one in a million and deserves the best of the best. I wish him the best of luck and cant wait to hear about all the fun adventures he is having. I love you little brother!!!

Nephews are the best!!

A week or so ago I had the chance to head down with Todd to work, and spend the day in Salt Lake with my lovely sister-in-law and her sweet boys!! We went to the dinasour musem at Thanksgiving point. It was a lot of fun, and the boys are adorable.

Dylan is in blue and Nathan is in orange!! I love these little guys!!!

Breaking Dawn!!!

Well last night was one of those nights where you are semi-embarrassed but extremely excited, so you just don't care!! Around 11:00 PM my good friend Tisha came by and picked me up and we went to Walmart! Why you ask? Easy answer...the new Twilight book came out!! We went to our local Walmart and 'borrowed' camping chairs and sat in line for an hour!
Then we were ushered in and recieved our new book!! It was wonderful! I can not wait to read this thing!
**By the way I look confused and dazed because my bed time is at 9, and I was not all the way awake. I am wearing cut off shorts and Todd's shirt, shouldn't that have rang some warning bells?!! Also, I would like to dedicate this post to my sweet Mom, I wish you could have been here and we could have stood in line together!!
