I feel like posting photos

I've raided Andrew's iPhone! Let's do this.

 First, portraits tonight…

Andrew on geeter.

Roman was eating doritos.

The trouble makers.

And now some older ones! This is Andrew feeding sun conures at the Aviary over the summer:

Here is a picture of 6 of the 10 stitches from the hand slicing:

And this is the original slice incident:

Here is the hand with stitches removed:

And that's it for now :)

Andrew's Birthday

(From October 20th)

Hand is healing! Stitches come out in the next couple of days, whenever I can make it back tot he doctor. Andrew has been sick this week with what seems to be a bug that is going around, but he's fighting through it, little trooper.

Andrew's 25th birthday was this past Saturday. "It was great!" Andrew says (or has commented something to that effect sometime within the past five days). The morning of his birthday we went to The Kura Door, our favorite Salt Lake splurge. It's a japanese-style spa that our friend and once-roommate Abbey used to work at. We had an ofuro bath, which is a fantastic 45 minute bath with special aromatherapy salts, freshly brewed tea, cucumbers for your eyes, cold towels for your face, the works. After we were properly pruned, we then went to get an hour-long couple's massage. They have a steam room, sauna and meditation room to use before and after your treatments, so we spent some time in each of those before, inbetween and after the bath and massage. By noon we were totally relaxed and feeling great.

Our spa morning was followed up by Mazza for lunch--hummus, loobia, lamb sfiha and shwarma. Then we baked German chocolate cupcakes with chocolate mousse filling for our friend Loni, whose birthday was on the 17th. After baking we caught a bit of sushi for an early dinner (2 for 1 rolls at Tokai Sushi on Fridays and Saturdays! Naturally, we picked our favorite, most expensive rolls) and then met up with our friends Loni, Eric and Nick at the Desert Edge Brewery for a snack before heading over to Loni and Eric's abode to play Killer Bunnies and soak in their hot tub.

All in all, it was a long day and I think Andrew really enjoyed himself. If he was here right now, I'd poll him, but that will have to happen later.

Warning: Gore ahead

WARNING: This is a gory post, so don't look if you are squeamish.

Andrew and I had an adventure last night! Our Cutco knives are really sharp. A few photos below:

I was making quesadillas for Andrew and I and the Cutco knife slipped while cutting Ikea fontina cheese. Right after it happened, I dropped the knife, looked at Andrew and said "I need to go to the hospital." I nicked a blood vessel and got 9 stitches, but don't need hand surgery. Wahoo! :)

And with that, Andrew is the best husband ever! He was so calm and immediate in his reaction. We drove right to the ER and he stopped me from panicking the whole line. He wasn't even totally grossed out by the slightly spurting blood, which I wasn't allowed to look at but felt.

Dinner time!
