It's been awhile, hasn't it? Well I'm back with a blog to knock your socks off. Or not. At the very least it will give you something to read for five minutes. :)
At the beginning of the month, my friend Ryan Scott Hales threw an Groundhog Party. We all celebrated by wearing hats.

A few of the hats at the party:

Love Celeste's face in this next one... :)
A week ago, my ward had a luau. Complete with a roasted pig!
Annj outfitted Celeste and I in her authentic Hawaiian attire. Thanks Annj!! I loved wearing it :) I'm sort of in a weird pose. I'm not sure what I was doing. (Oh, wait. I remember. Heh, I was trying to appear skinny... don't think it worked....)
Here's the main course!
Yum! .... Kinda not the most attractive boar in the world (Is there such a thing, anyways?) But the Man who showed me the pig said I had to kiss the pig as payment. So I did.
The photographer was little too quick with the shutter and clicked right before my lips met the pig's snout. J/K ;) Ick. My lips were not going to get any closer to that swine.
A couple mens in my ward bringing the pork in. Looks heavy.
Bobbie was ready to dig right in!
And Celeste was hesitant...
Despite the somewhat grotesque appearance of the porker, it tasted pretty good. Real good. Especially with the caterer's special sauce. :) After all the meat from the insides was eaten, people were coming back for (and fighting over who got) the ears and tongue. Blech.
Moving on in the fun of February. A week ago Celeste and I went on a double date. Our dates took us down to Red Robin in Idaho Falls. LOVE that place! Celeste's date was Moto Moto, and my date was Bruce Wayne. AKA, Batman.
When we walked in the hostess asked, "Table for two?" This is pretty much my favorite part of the night: We replied, "No, four, please". She took us over to a table and we all sat down. Well, Moto Moto stood. The waiter came by and took our drink orders. A few minutes later he asked if we would like to order then or wait for the others in our party to show up. We pointed to our dates and told him they were already here.
He looked at us like we were crazy! It's not THAT weird.... ;) We ordered our food and got to know each other better while we were waiting for our food to come.
The waiter soon returned with our food. One of the best things about Red Robin is the fact that they have bottomless fries. Oh baby. That was Moto Moto's favorite part. He ordered an extra basket. The waiter came back to tell him that they were making more fries and that it would be a couple more minutes. Right to Moto Moto. Just then, another waiter was washing the table next to ours and gave our waiter a baffled expression. Priceless. :)
Moto Moto ate the whole thing.
The food was fantastic, and very filling. Batman had to lay down and fat dog it for a minute.
The date went well, and I think the boys liked us!
Bruce even gave me a kiss!
