We're still Alive!

What a way to start a post huh?  This is one of the very sweet sunrises Seth and I were able to see while staying at our friend's home.

I'm not sure where this month has gotten away too, but it sure is getting isn't it?

Seth is a busy bee-pleasantly waking up with me bright and early in the morning and working straight until bedtime (with a few breaks throughout the day).  He's got a lot to fit in and his time frame is slowly dwindling.  But I tell you he is one cute worker-I definitely adore my man if you hadn't noticed.

This past weekend-Seth and I grilled out with a few of our friends.  These folks just purchased a smoker and decided to ask a Southern man how to smoke some chicken.  Seth, of course, calls one of the only 'Champion' smokers that we know-Ronnie Bishop-to get big time advice.  Ronnie gave Seth a bunch of knowledge, and I tell you what-that chicken was scrumptious.    Everyone raved about how yummy it was and Seth was a happy fella.  Seth said he hasn't felt that good since his first loaf of French Bread turned out perfect :).  I had my camera with plans to snag a photo of the finished product, but I ended up getting nervous and not pulling the camera out.  I didn't want Seth to be 'that guy with the werido wife who takes pictures of food'-even though in reality I am that wife.

We also had Seth's departmental ENVS get to know everyone dinner last weekend.  Interesting enough all the grads that knew each other from the previous year hung out, and all the newby's hung out amongst themselves-there was hardly any intermingling. The ENVS department is considered at USU to be the least social department-I find that funny.  To be sure I fit the role as a natural resource wife I had to plan my ENVS dinner outfit-My goal was to not be immediately pegged as an outsider.  Of course, I had to take pictures of our outfits.

I would have to say I totally look like an ENVS major as does Seth.  I wasn't discovered until someone asked me which professor I was studying under-then I had to identify myself as the kid in the blue's wife :).  Score!

Finally our farmer's market is beginning to have produce available.  Seth and I had finally stopped going because it was just selling crafty things.  We don't budget for crafty things-we budget for yummy delicious ingredients so we can eat yummy delicious meals.  Above is a photograph of some of our produce we bought and the new family member (the 10" cast iron pan).  Since we celebrated our first anniversary big time (I'm sure you noticed I brought our anniversary into yet another blog-I apologize)-we decided that we wouldn't buy each other our own gift.  We came up with the idea to buy one gift that would benefit us both-and one that we have been wanting.  That 10 incher won the prize :)-Now we can cook Seth's moms Apple Pancake in one pan.

~September Shoutouts~

-My good Daddy was born this month to a 40 year old Momma and 17 year older brother.  He was a pleasant surprise.  So thankful for that man and what a Wonderful Daddy he's been.

-Eason~That crazy bro of mine was born this month too.  Not sure why my parents decided to have a second child-when they already had a perfect one to begin with :).  Happy Birthday Bro-hate I've missed the past two.

-My parent's will celebrate their 27th year of marriage this month.

Us Sineath's-We a good looking family huh?  :).

-Lastly, one of my forever best buds Laurie R. Dyches will celebrate her very young birthday during the month of September. 

 Why, yes that is Lady Antebellum that Laurie and I are old pals with :).

I don't have much else to update ya'll on.  We've been too swamped to find time to be adventurous.  I just wanted to update everyone a little on what's been going on, so you didn't think we had fallen off the face of the planet.

The unbearded man-This was during a cold camping trip we took in SC one weekend while we were dating.  Isn't he just adorable with a beard as well as without?  Why, yes I think he just is!

The Cook's :).
