I wanna be a florist when I grow up!

So, I've been job searching lately, and it isn't going so well. But, it has given me a lot of time to reflect on what I want to do. A typical question at a job interview is "What are you long term career goals?" I've done a lot of thinking, and I really do just want to be a florist. Not just any florist, I want to be a wedding/special events florist.

Devin's been learning a lot about what he wants to do and not do. He's still not sure, but right now he's working on planes!

Egg Rolls!

A very special Sister in my home ward, Sam Besses, gave me some awesome recipes and ingredients to make Lao (Laotian) Egg Rolls! Her Egg Rolls are amazing! During Christmas time, when everyone else in the ward/neighborhood brings cookies, fudge, and candies, Sam bring Egg Rolls. And, they are everyone's favorite! Yumm...

I was pretty nervous to make them myself, but I think they turned out alright! Its a good thing I cut down the recipe though because Devin and I never could have ate 50 eggrolls by ourselves.

Making these took some time, so not only are Sam's tasty treats delicious, but she puts a lot of time into them. Thanks Sam!

Here's my process in making the egg rolls:

Exploring the Area

Devin and I finally made it to Washington! We stopped by Moses Lake for a fun visit with family and then on to our apartment!

We've been exploring the area while we wait for work to start. It took us awhile to find our way down to the sound (most of it is private access) but we found a way down on a sunny day!

The beach access closest to our house, just a couple minutes.

The little crab Devin caught.

The crab that Devin ate in Seattle. On our way down to Vancouver (we're in Vancouver right now) we stopped at Pike's Place Market. We had fun and ate some Seafood! Devin had a stuffed salmon with crab and shrimp and something else, but we can't remember.
