Fiestas and Furniture

So...we bought a couch. Who knew what life was like without anywhere to put your bum?? Kind of difficult. And having company over? Awkward. "Here, come on in, have a ..... actually just stay where you are." Needless to say, we mourned over those good ol' days where BYU-Approved Apartments furnished everything you would ever need.

This happened like, a month and a half ago. But still. Ta-da! Our couch! :)

Best part? We bought it at a VIP Event that we had no idea was happening...we left the store with a killer deal, free shipping, a carnation flower (random), popcorn, and cookies! Score.

Sometimes Always we eat food here at the Moss house. Here's a peek into what we've been eating, in case your finals/work parties/gift-wrapping/house decorating activities aren't keeping you busy enough.

We call it "Fiesta"

The dish that we have about 4x a week (I kid you not) is called "La Fiesta." We made that up. It was inspired by a meal Paul ate with his sister Julie...and it is so scrumptious! The ingredients:

fresh tomatoes
fresh avocados
bit of lime juice
coarse salt
uncooked tortillas
cheese

We mix together the items (as seen above). Next, you cook the tortillas and fill them with the yummy goodness, and top it with shredded cheese. You will think you have died and gone to Disneyland.

I guess I'll leave you with those little updates today. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season and enjoying getting ready for your Holidays wherever they may be!

Some Sunday Sap

Just feeling especially lucky to be married to this guy. :)

Happy Sunday, All!

Winter Joy

Ummm.....keeping up with a blog proves to be a difficult task for me! Let's be honest...if it is between reading or blogging, I will choose reading. If it is between baking or blogging....I won't even finish that.

BUT! Life has been great lately. I'll share a few important updates:

1. We are alive. If we weren't, it would be difficult for people to find out. I mean, we are kind of up in the mountains here! And we rarely have good reception. All can attest to this (SORRY!)

2. Les Miserables comes out THIS MONTH! Les Mis is hands down the best musical to ever enter the universe. I am not even kidding. Words cannot express how excited I am (but trust me when I say I have rambled and rambled trying to find words.) Two videos that I think every good human should watch in order to prepare themselves for this movie premier:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEq7QRqNMyg -- one of the official trailers. WATCH IT. Now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9IWAxSpgKA -- Nick Pitera singing the entire thing by himself. You know the drill.

3. Oops...we did it again. I know we were just there...but we can't stay away!

Yeah. That's California Adventure...part of the Disneyland Resort. The castle was all decorated, and it even fake-snowed. It was incredible and magical. No, those are not our children. :) (But we sure do love them!)

We were so excited to be able to visit Arizona and California for Thanksgiving break! The weather was warm and beautiful, and the time with family was perfect and much-needed.

Hope everyone is having a great time enjoying the beginning of the Christmas season. We are looking forward to Christmas in KC in just a few weeks!

P.S. maybe I can't stop listening to this CD.

Embarrassing, I know. It's just too catchy. I can't say no.
