A lot of new things happened this week.

Since the majority of the week was cold and rainy, we opted for soup.  Three times this week, actually.  Making some new soups were on my list of things to do this fall, but we always stick to what we know.  Turkey Taco Soup is our favorite.

And better late than never, I finally put up our Halloween decor!

Our newest addition is the floating witch hats.  I’m glad I procrastinated big time and have left those sticks up since last Christmas.  They have proven to be pretty useful over the last few months.

Zach and I also decided to experience Wild Game Fest at Rodizio Grill with my mom, brother, his girlfriend Brittany.  It was Zach and I’s first time.  I think the only item that truly weirded me out was the frog legs [pictured on the right]…

Work has been pretty exciting the last few weeks.  Among other projects, something new I am working on is a pre-training supplement line called Warrior Fuel.  I got to proof some of the foil labels I designed this week.  I can’t wait to see how the project turns out!

Speaking of trying new things…I met a friend [and old co-worker] for lunch in Salt Lake this week and experienced pho for the first time.  I can’t believe I have gone 26 years without trying it.  I am hooked!  I am making Zach go back with me some time this upcoming week, especially if it continues to rain the way it has been.

One of my favorite things the entire week was going out to dinner with a bunch of friends in my neighborhood to a [can you believe it] new restaurant in Farming Station.  The food at Twigs was awesome, as was the conversation.  I am so lucky to have the friends that I have made in our neighborhood.  I adore them.

Friday was dinner and a movie night for us.  We ate dinner at Trio before seeing a movie with our friends Chet and Danielle in Salt Lake.

Any movie with Justin Timberlake is enjoyable to me.  Just sayin’.

Saturday morning I met my grandma and mom at IHOP for breakfast before seeing the Saratov Approach.  Such an inspiring movie.  The kind of movie that makes you have faith in humanity again, if you know what I mean.  After the movie I forced my family to take Camron to the Touch-a-Truck event at Valley Fair Mall.  They had dump trucks, fire trucks, police cars, and even a helicopter.  I am pretty sure Cam enjoyed himself…

Later that afternoon was the Utah vs. Stanford game.  The weather was perfect and the game couldn’t have ended better!

The Utes really needed the win and we decided to celebrate after!

We opted for sushi at Tsunami and it really hit the spot.

The last new thing this week is that I finally got my website for my new business to the point where I feel I could tell people about it.  It’s not perfect, but it is slowly coming along.  My new business is called BASH Studio.  I am selling custom invitations, party printables, and other party decor.

I’ve got my business cards, a Facebook page, and even set up an Etsy Shop [with only 4 things, but ya know].  Like I said, slowly but surely.  I’m really excited…and scared…to see how it goes.  I’ve been doing this kind of stuff for years, but finally decided to do something about it.  Maybe I won’t sell one thing, but I won’t regret trying it!

So here’s to new (and really scary) things!
