Noah and I have started a new little something. I told him I bet I could lose 15 lbs. faster than he can (and I will). So the first Utah Coleman to lose 15 lbs. by the end of September gets a new iPod. The loser gets my cracked old one that still works, but it's cracked and old.
I'm going to win.

The News
My knee is healing nicely after the infection. Yesterday, I was almost driven mad by itching. However, today while cleaning the fridge I stepped on something and not knowing what it was I scraped it along my ankle to get it off my foot. Unfortunately, it was a piece of glass and now it looks like my husband beats me or I was in an accident because my knee is still bandaged.
On a better note, I was kind of having a rough day and Noah made homemade mac n' cheese (my favorite.) While eating dinner he gets this mischievous look on his face and turns his plate around to reveal the following:
And on an even better note, I sat in my classroom the other day. That was a good day.

Bikes and Becky
One might think by this time I would have taken bikes out of my routine forever with the luck I have. The thing is, I like bike riding and in order to become more skilled I need practice. So, I've decided to invest in some knee pads. My mom suggested a whole body pad.
That was the fresh wound. Unfortunately, now it's more of a greenish color. Noah forced me into a salt bath to soak and poured a whole bunch of hydrogen peroxide on it. It's now covered and slathered with Neosporin + pain relief. Let's hope we can avoid a visit to the doctor.

Plant Babies
I haven't been doing much of note lately, but my plants have and since I treat them like my babies that's what I'm going to post about. Maybe I'll even go so far as renaming my blog "Plant Babies" and turning this into a gardening blog. Since I have 8 plants there is really very little to discuss and I find it somewhat unhealthy, I won't, but you do get to see pictures!
Look at my little tomato! It's growing so much and blocking the sun from my other tomato plant, I believe we'll have to change the location in order to ensure survival of not only the fittest, but also the little. The basil over there has gotten a lot of new growth too and I planted some rosemary.
Here is our friend the jalepeno. He's flourishing and I've watched him flower. He will produce us little peppers soon enough. The petals have already fallen and there are a few more buds ready to pop.
And my flowers. We've got a Marigold up in front that bloomed yesterday and another, as you can see ready to bloom as well.
In other news Noah and I are doing well. I started my teaching program and am very nervous about August, but am so excited to teach!!!
Noah's show goes up in a few weeks and he'll have some fantastic pieces so everyone should come see him. I believe it goes up the first week of July. He's also currently in a show in the HFAC on the 4th floor, east side. The one up now is all glass work and believe me, it's beautiful!
The Farmer's Market has been a success so far and we're having a good time with everyone coming to visit us in our booth on Saturdays. Which everyone should, because we love the company and the market is a great free date as long as you don't spend anything. It's from 9-2 p.m. every Saturday, be there or be square!

A Memorable Day
Saturday night Noah and I arrived home to this beauty on our doorstep.
And today, after seeing Sara's beautiful yard I just couldn't help myself when I got home Noah and I took a trip to Wal-Mart and bought planting materials. The flowers in the back are from Wendy, the ones on the left Noah and I bought at Wal-Mart, and the ones on the right are from our landlord's son.
This would be our jalapeno plant.
And here is our tomato and basil, with soon to be rosemary. Also pictured is the mint that our landlord has graciously left in upon request.
It was FANTASTIC. I felt like a proud parent looking at all our little plants. I really want to get a gardening can so I can feel like a true gardener. Oh summer, how I love you.
Apparently our neighbors had "come in to some cakes" and decided to share. We especially enjoyed the following gummy sharks eating the gummy bear. Note the blood.

And the verdict is...
I'm ACTUALLY going to be a teacher!!! Holy, oh my goodness, me-oh-my. It hits me every couple of hours that I actually have a job that I'm going to love. I can't wait to have my own classroom this fall.
So in celebration Noah and I went to the Cheesecake Factory with our gift certificate and it was fantastic. On our way in though, we saw a great majority of the Jorgensen clan who had been celebrating Shelley's birthday. Happy Birthday Shelley! So after our celebration we went to go party with them.
Also, I went to Seven Peaks with the school and Rachel insisted that I was her best friend.
I love days like today.

Documented Proof
I brought my camera along to Park City in order to capture every moment. We took about 7 pictures. These are the highest quality and most appropriate.
Saturday Night we took a trip to Gateway to talk to the Apple Store about buying an iPad. Which we are not buying, (unless I get the job I'm interviewing for tomorrow). Noah organized the food and the T.V. so we could eat, soak, and watch T.V. all while enjoying the luxury of our own private whirlpool.
The above picture would be our dinner.
Yes, we got Starbucks, it was delicious and coffee free.
Does anyone else find him strikingly handsome???
On another note, I go back to work today after the long weekend away and I get a call from an elementary school to interview for a teaching position! Wish me luck!
