Manburger finally met his hero....Jay Cutler aka Mr. Olympia. He appeared at the base GNC to sign autographs and pose (quite literally) for pictures. When I saw him, I thought, "That can't be real, he must be wearing a muscle suit." I expected him to turn around and undo the zipper and become some normal looking guy. As Manburger said, "His bicep is as big as my head." It's true too. Well, he did have huge muscles, but I like my Manburger muscles better. Atleast I know he can use his right hand to touch his left shoulder without a problem. Guess what! I have a new calling in church too! I am now a every-other Sunday teacher for the 15/16 year old Sunday school class. Quite the assignment; my first time teaching will be this coming Sunday. I'm excited, even though I broke down and cried when I found out what the calling was. It'll be good experience for me for when we have our own teenagers long down the road. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. Manburger will be there in the class with me in case anyone needs a head-butt. Ha, I doubt it will ever come to that. Manburger and I also just gave talks in church two weeks ago. It was a bit overwhelming with all the new information coming at me at once. Fortunately, we did well (or atleast everyone says we did). Now a few more people know who we are in church and don't think we're just some couple who likes to visit a lot.
This past weekend we went up to LA for Manburger's friend's wedding. Manburger was the best man and looked super sharp in his groomsmen shirt and tie. Hot stuff! AFter the wedding and pictures we drove on up to Lancaster to spend the weekend with the family and attend the wedding reception on Saturday. We really enjoyed staying with Ian and Audra and seeing Brandon again. He's gotten a lot bigger in just a month. The reception Saturday was really nice. I helped out in the kitchen, just for fun, while Manburger posed for some pictures and kept the bride and groom entertained with his wits. There were Hawaiian haystacks for dinner and two chocolate fountains with fun things to dip like pineapple, grapes, cream puffs, pretzels, and these fabulous peanut-butter ball things with p.b. and rice krispies. Yum! Early Saturday afternoon we also went up to the feline compound north of Lancaster and saw big cats. It's kind of sad seeing those cats in cages, but some of them are rescue animals so maybe it's better for them there. My favorite cat was this gorgeous jaguar. Now I understand why ancient South American cultures idolized the jaguar. What a regal and powerful creature.
It's been a while, but I have still been cooking and making yummy new dishes for my Manburger. Last week I made whole wheat pasta with squash, mushrooms, onions, and bell pepper. I garnished it with fresh grated parmesan and some Italian parsley. Delicious! How I love to be healthy and creative in the kitchen. It's nice to know I don't need a recipe to make good food. Unfortunately while I was creating this masterpiece, I melted our cutting board on one of the burners. Well, mark one down for Yogurl's mishaps in the kitchen. The cutting board still works, but we only use the one side now.

Elizabeth enjoys melting plastic things on the stove as well. It must be a sister thing.
