The Sad Story of our Caramel Apples

The sad story is...we basically failed miserably. After Rachel saying to me, and I quote, "There's really no way you can mess them up," I guess you can say I decided to challenge her statement:) Here's Marc showing the hardship on his face...
Marc and I tried so many times to let the caramel toughen up more in the fridge, and then put the M&M's on again...but every time we'd check in on them, it had all slid off the apple. I think I used crappy caramel. (I'll blame it on that and not me:) It was some packaged mixture you add sugar and milk to...
Yes, I know. I'm kind of embarassed about the picture above. I swear there are other things I can bake that turn out good:)

We finally managed to get some of the caramel to stay on the apples and just patted coconut all over them to mask the bald spots.
I thought I could trick people into thinking they were good if I made the wrapping around the apples look really nice. The more I sit here and think about it, the more embarassed I am that I actually delivered these to our neighbors. I don't even think they tasted that good. Maybe the next thing I deliver to the neighbors will be apology notes:)

The Old Days of Rach and Lu

This last week has been awesome cuz I have gotten to hang out with Rach so much. Rach & I met at BYU and instantly became siamese twins...friends truly connected at the hip:) We are definitely kindred spirits...and I have missed all the laughing and fun we have, ever since we have been apart! The last time we saw each other was right before her daughter Anna was born...so it had been too long! Her and her cute fam (Mike & Anna) came on a California vacation and came out to Torrance one of the days to hang out. We went over to the beach in the day...Marc was still working and poor Mike had to deal with us reverting back to our old ways of laughing so hard over stuff that no one else around us understands what's going on. But soon Marc got home and we went out to dinner and hung out...and the boys were able to talk about boy stuff:)

Her daughter Anna is ALL girl...I love it! We bonded as soon as I pulled my lip gloss out of my purse and put it on her...she wouldn't let me stop!
At Claim Jumper...


*MY FAVORITE HAIRDRESSER!!!!!*

In college, Rach and I learned how to weave hair...and we literally changed up each others' hair every week...she does hair better than anyone I know. Marc & I stayed with them in Vegas on our way to Utah over the weekend...we wanted to hang out more and see their place. Rach did my hair and I LOVE IT. Of course I knew I would cuz she is so good. She bleached it, dyed the bottom dark, and cut me some bangs. Rach, you rock:)

This Weekend

I just thought I'd post a few pics from this weekend...my fam came to see our new place and deliver the desk Marc & my Dad made. Yesterday after church I had to take a pic of Marc & Mike cuz they just looked so handsome...
Here's me & Mike acting like we're taking a picture for a My Space page...even though the face I made looks retarded, we were laughing about the fact that all the girls always look away and pucker out their lips...or they do that big smile surprised look...hence, this picture:
Okay, here I am at 25 weeks and counting! We took a tour of the Torrance Memorial hospital yesterday...and it was really nice and made us both feel more relaxed about knowing what to expect at the hospital.
