Grillin'  

Posted by Amber

So... my parents are trying to sell their house in order to move to Phoenix. That's some background you need :)  Also, on May 7th was our stake baptism, where three of our kids were getting baptized!  Unfortunately, I had to work that Saturday :p  But, I still typed up the programs and words to the songs that were to be sung.  However, in an effort to save on paper, and for the fact you don't need a full sheet of paper for a program, I designed them to be on half of a sheet.  Unfortunately, I don't own a paper cutter, but my parents do :)



Just had to show off the program and lyrics.  The programs were on cardstock, and the lyrics were on regular paper.  I went with black and white so I didn't have to go buy colored paper or waste a lot of ink :)

Since I had to drop off the programs before the baptism and before work, I dragged Matt up to my parents' to borrow the aforementioned paper cutter.  When we got there, we found they were having a yard sale.  They had their grill out with a sign asking $75 for it.  Now, Matt and I have wanted to get a grill one day, but just don't have the funds.  Another advantage to Dad's grill is I know what condition it's in and that it's a decent grill :)  While Matt and I were cutting programs and lyrics, I asked Matt if he really wanted the grill, because if we didn't buy Dad's, we wouldn't be able to afford one for awhile :)

Dad came in and heard us, and asked if we wanted it....to which Matt replied (in a very affirmitave tone) mayyyybeee...... My cute dad said if we wanted it, we could have it for $50, so we said yes :)

Dad doesn't own a truck anymore, and we only have cars, so we eventually got the grill back with the help of Matt's dad and brother.  Thanks guys for letting us borrow the suburban and trailer, and for helping Matt carry the grill up the stairs! :D

Oh, and later (since it took awhile for us to pick up the grill), Dad said we didn't even have to worry about paying him for the grill.  Sweet deal, no?

So I was really hoping to BBQ on Zoorasic Saturday, but as you can read in the post below, it rained.  So no grilling for us.  We did, however, finally manage to venture out and buy propane this last Saturday, May 21st :D

Matt made some really good burgers, and I had also purchased soda (on sale) and chips to complete the experience.  Here are pics from the first time we used our BBQ!

 Had to clean the grill first.
 A poor picture, but proof Matt hooked it all up right - there's fire in there!

 Flippin' time!

Saturay was a great day!  Before the grilling, we had ventured off to get a rock chip in Matt's windshield filled at Big O.  Next door was our Young Men and Young Women's yard sale fundraiser, so I wandered over there and chatted with some ward friends :) Then we headed to Smith's for propane.  Not knowing what to do for lunch, we went over to Papa Murphey's for some Pizza and watched Prince Caspian on USA.  Later, I played a little Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.  I'm glad Matt ended up getting it while he was sick last week.  Aside from the fact we wanted to play it because Revelations will be coming out, it really isn't too bad of a game. :)  When I got sick of that, we ended up watching Easy A on Netflix while Matt made our yummy dinner.  A perfect 'summer' day :)

Sweet deal indeed!! I have caught the grill bug, and I want one too.

I played the first Assassin's Creed, and it is a really cool game. Haven't tried the second, but my hubby beat it. I love the Mario guy.
