Waffle Disaster

So this morning  I woke up and decided that I was going to make a big and "delicious" breakfast of sausage and apple cinnamon waffles. As I was getting all of the ingredients together, I decided to make a healthier version and use whole wheat flour. This seemed like a good idea what with the Easter overhaul and all. Well it turned out to be a very bad idea! The whole wheat with this particular recipe, made the batter REALLY thick. So I added a bit more milk... and a bit more... and a bit more. Until I finally deemed it suitable. I added the apples and cinnamon and started the first batch. As you may have guessed by the title of this blog, it was a disaster! The whole wheat taste was overwhelming. Even with syrup and peanut butter, you could not cover up the feeling that you were eating straight whole wheat. Jeff was so nice, saying that it wasn't that bad and he was glad I tried something a bit healthier. I told him that was sweet, but hogwash and that the waffles were nasty. :) So we added more cinnamon. Still no good. Added some sugar. Still no good. Added a LOT more sugar. Still not that great. Maybe this flour is the wrong kind to use or homemade whole wheat waffles are just a rotten idea. Either way, I have decided that you should not mess with the deliciousness (is that a word?) of waffles. From now on it is white flour or buttermilk pancake mix. :) Jeff continued to eat until full and said the rest would be good to snack on. The brave man. He even did the dishes for me after! How did I get so lucky? I really couldn't tell you, but i'm very grateful all the same! The upside of the story is that the sausage was excellent and we got a good laugh out of the whole event. :)

So Jeff decided to put all the remaining batter in one corner.... Haha ya gotta love that man!

He didn't want me to take a picture of his messy waffles. So of course I had to and then follow up by taking a picture of him as well. :)

I know people always say how lucky they are, but really, I got a man who likes to do the dishes! That's pretty darn lucky in my book. :)

This time its for real!

      I know what your thinking, my last blog lasted for two days and this one will probably last for only three or four days. However, I have committed myself to maintaining and frequently updating this blog! I love reading all of your stories and staying up to date in your lives and hope you all enjoy reading mine as well. I can't say it will be the most entertaining one, but hope it will give you a few laughs. :)


      Now to update you all on the life of Jeff and Jane. We were married on March 24, 2011 in the Mt. Timp. temple and are now living in Grandma Swensen's (Jeff's mom's mom, not my dad's mom) basement. Jeff's cousin Jamie, her husband Tony and there new little girl June live upstairs. We LOVE living with all of them! While we only plan on living there until the end of summer, we're really enjoying the time we have there now. The ward is wonderful as well! It has to be the most welcoming and inviting ward I have been to since moving out. I was hugged by probably 25 women (no joke!) and have been givin assignments for RS events. I know some people complain when that happens, but I love it because it makes me feel involved and welcome. :) Jeff and I also finally purchased a car! We have been hunting for one since last Dec. and are loving our little Chevy Cavalier. She is a natural gas car, which will be very nice on the trips to St. George and she is an automatic! Woo hoo! Jeff tried to teach me to drive a stick, and while I manage, I am not very good and all to likely to roll back into someone on a hill. So huzzah for automatic cars! :D Jeff received an internship up in downtown SL at REI (Reaction Engineering International) and is very excited and eager to begin. I will continue working full time at doTERRA this summer and will start up again at UVU in the Fall. I cannot wait to begin school again and Jeff is very excited to be a senior and graduate next year!
       Overall life is fabulous and married life is the greatest! I love my husband SO much and still can't believe that I was able to catch him. I am sure our blog will be full of stories about him, as he is constantly filling my life with humorous moments! Hope y'all will enjoy them as much as I. :)

     
Best wishes to all of you! I cannot wait to join the blogging world and read more of your stories.
