Foggin Up the Windows

Last night Ryan and I went to a Utah Basketball game in Salt Lake. 

It was snowing on our way home and this normally wouldn't be a problem, but our heater/air/blower went out in our car so when it gets cold it's bad. The windows fog up really bad and normally you would have to turn on your defroster to make it so you can see outside...well we didn't have anything that would be able to "de-fog" our windows, so from Salt Lake to Eagle Mountain, we had to drive in the 30 degree weather with our back windows down and our front windows down a little as well as it's snowing pretty hard just to be able to kind of see outside. It was not enjoyable. It made me think back on the cars that I grew up on. The cars I grew up on had more things wrong with them than they had right with them, so last night definitely brought back memories. We were able to make it home safe by using a roll of toilet paper from our glove compartment and every few minutes, Ryan would have to wipe the inside of his side of the windshield so he could kind of see outside, it was pretty scary. I wanted to take pictures of what it looked like with the fogged up windows and the snow and everything, but Ryan had the camera in his pocket and was too focused on trying to see out the window and not kill us :)

Today we had my siblings that live in Utah over for dinner and to hang out. Every month we get together with Ryan's side of the family and it's nice to see everyone. It's kind of sad that me, my sister Jennie and her family and my brother Brig and his family live so close to us, yet we rarely get together. So we are planning on getting together at least once a month to do dinner together and tonight was our first night! It was a lot of fun! We had everyone over to our place which made it a total of 13 people and we had Paninis on my new Panini maker! (Ryan got me a Panini maker for my b-day :) ) The kids were having some fun hanging out with eachother and it was nice getting together to hang out and play games. We even went outside and the guys and the kids tossed the football around, it was freezing outside, but they had fun! For dessert we had "Hot as Summer, Cold as Winter" which is basically stove cooked chocolate pudding served over vanilla ice cream it's amazing and I haven't had it since I was a kid. It was really good and brought back good memories. I'm excited that we're going to be getting together more often. I love family, I just wished all my siblings lived this close!
