VA is for lovers

By Kate, 1 September 2010

We should know. We live there now.

We have finally got an apt. and are starting to settle in. Last week when I told my friend Jill that we were homeless & looking for a place to live she responded, “what’s new?” Which is appropriate for us since we are looking for a place to live about ever 3-6 months.

To be honest, it’s a little too classy for my taste. For starters, it’s a 1 br, not a studio. It has a pool, and workout room. It has extra-high ceilings. It even has a study “nook” and its own washer and dryer. We do not even have to cross the street or walk into a dungeon basement to do our laundry.

This is a major upgrade for the Kelly-Ransom family.

It’s no living with a crazy-cat lady, but it’s ahyte. ;)

See us off in wild-west style

Wild West Party

If you are in Utah this summer and want to come see Kate and I off before we leave for DC. Then come to our Wild West Party on the 7th at Kate’s parents house. It will be fun!!!

Tasty Treats at the Farmers Market

By Neil, 17 July 2010

I went down to the Provo Farmer’s Market this morning to get some fresh eggs, tasty bread (this time I got artichoke-spinach bread) and visit a friend’s booth. While there I found $20 on the ground and decided I better spend it all at the market. So I bought $9 of smoked cheddar from Salina, Utah, some fresh eggs, a second loaf of country style bread and a three cheese empanada.

The cheese is so good. You have know idea. It is the best smoked cheddar I’ve ever eaten. They take 1 year old cheddar and soak it in wine and spices and then smoke it on apple wood. Oh, man. So, good! If you live in Provo you should make your way down there for some tasty treats. My friend runs a bicycle powered snow-cone machine, so stop by and visit him. Fresh produce makes such good food.

An 87 Baby!!!!

By Neil, 14 June 2010

So I just took my last chem test (before the final) and got an 87%!!!! Amazing, huh. You’re probable saying to yourself, “Dude, way to improve Neil! Wasn’t your first test like a 60%.” And I would respond, “Thanks man. You’re right. I have improved!”

The beehive state

By Kate, 23 May 2010

I have been in Utah for a little over a week. We have already been to Moab, I’ve worked for a week (including a 3-day long child abuse conference… how’s that for fun?), and we have gotten plenty of June-ie time in.

Here’s June helping Neil with his Chem 105 homework:

When we babysat June over night we discovered the glory that is honeydew melon:

She would gnaw endlessly on melon if left to her own devices:

Here I am contemplating why I wore boots and jeans on our hike to Corona Arch. Why do I always think it’s going to be cold?!? even in the desert!
