On a shopping trip I let it slip to Keith that I had never eaten Spam. My mistake. He was appalled and the next thing I know there is a can of Spam in my shopping cart. Oh, dear. I am a brave soul when it comes to culinary adventures; I did eat chicken feet and Argentine mystery meat after all. I can belly up and try some Spam.

And I did. Keith likes it best when it is cooked with pineapple. I went heavy on the pineapple, and it wasn't so bad. I am not saying I would ever prefer this cat food-like delicacy to REAL meat, but it was okay.
Keith's convertible has had a broken top most of the time we have been dating. A convertible isn't much good with a broken top, but a convertible top isn't much good in Utah in the winter, so it hasn't been a problem. Well this week it got fixed. Keith was going to try it out without me but I insisted that I had to come along on this top-down cruise of the town. He thought I would freeze but I am tougher than I look. Well, heated seats and a good supply of winter clothes helped. This is Keith's I'm-cold-but-lovin'-it look.

We have been Christmas partying it up lately. Between his lab, my lab, and our wards we have enjoyed a lot of free food (and good times). My ward decided to make it a formal/semi-formal event.
There aren't any pictures, but Keith's 25th birthday was Saturday. Classes are out so we made it a multi-day celebration. There was stuffed french toast, really good Chinese food, family, delectable hot-cocoa, a river, stars, and cake. Oh, and a kinda weird movie that is dear to Keith's childhood memories. Good times.Lots of family hugs comin' up in 7 days!!!
