You have a special tool just for hard boiling eggs? Can't you just put them in a pan of water? Is this another Pampered Chef thing . . .?

That was so fun to read. I hope you had a great birthday week. I wish I could have celebrated with you.

So it's funny you mentioned Chick-fil-A because we were just up in Sandy today and drove by a free standing Chick-fil-A and had to do a u-turn. We were hoping it would feel like being in Morgantown again but it just wasn't the same. Oh, and as we were driving home we listened to the BYU game. You must really hate us right now. Haha!!

Miss you guys like totally 110% and more . . .

I had no idea you were such a hater of your alma mater. When did this happen? And, ENJOY the Twilight series! I loved them and even got Brian to read them. Movie is coming soon, read fast:)
