The Joys of Food (that I don't have to cook!)

I love food... it makes me super happy. I love food that I don't have to cook even better! We don't go out to eat too often, but for Valentine's Day, Larry and I went out to our local mom and pop Chinese food restaurant, Fong's Cafe. I love the quiet atmosphere of this place. The staff are genuinely happy to serve and if something isn't right, they'll do what they can to make it better. Our entrees that night includes egg drop soup (I love egg drop soup, it reminds me of when my grandma and I would go to King Soopers and get a quart of it from the deli and scarf it down back at her home!).


I like that they add just a few chow mein crunchy noodles in there, gives it a bit more substance. Before we had even finished this small bowl of soup, our appetizer plate came! I didn't realize this was part of the deal either! Score! Egg roll pieces and pot stickers with sweet and sour sauce.


And again, before we could finish off these few appetizer pieces, our main dishes came. Larry got a shrimp something with low mein noodles (I'm highly allergic to shrimp now and it's a major bummer!). I ordered low mein with cashew chicken and sweet and sour pork. I ate a bit less than half of this enormous platter and had the rest for lunch at work the next day.


I definitely recommend this out-of-the-way dining experience if you're in the Southeast Idaho area. So yummy, big portions, great atmosphere, and courteous staff make for a lovely date night.

Originally published on 04/11/2019 I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted! Life has been crazy since about a year ago when my administrator from the school district informed me that my contract would not be renewed. If you recall, I tried teaching for VIPKID but that really didn't work out for me. I only taught a handful of trial classes (the parents didn't have to pay for those, so they could try VIPKID for free) and it just wasn't my favorite way to teach. Then, I tried a couple of other options to make money, including selling on Amazon... Well, let's just say that trying to find reputable sources to purchase products from overseas is much more difficult than it should have been. I also tried Click Funnels, but it seems like all I was doing was promoting a funnel that didn't do anything but promote the funnel. It was weird and I determined it wasn't for me. In August 2018, I found an insurance company that resonated with me. It's cal

North Carolina - Part 2

Originally published on 12/09/2018 You can read about our first day in Asheville, North Carolina  here . Our second day in North Carolina, I drove over to Bryson City. I wanted to purchase tickets for the Polar Express train ride scheduled to begin the season on Friday November 9th. It was a really, really good thing I did because I got the last two seats for the time! I'll write more on that experience later in the post... The colors in North Carolina were absolutely gorgeous! The trees were gold, green, red, brown, and so vibrant! Pictures do NOT do the colors any justice! Oh, and see the map on the dashboard in the picture above? That's from our really awesome Ford Fiesta! I plugged my phone into a USB port in the middle console, and it synced to the car! Momma's gotta get me one of them! Haha! Anyway, while I was in Bryson City, I wandered around some of the shops. In a small corner bookstore, I found two items I had not ever thought I'd find! Disne

Originally published on 11/25/2018 As some of you old hats to my blog may remember, I began working for VIPKID back in April 2018. That didn't really pan out for me so I had to find something else. Back in August, I started looking for something in sales. I came across a post on ZipRecruiter about insurance sales and applied. Little did I know that first interview would begin a new journey for traveling! Larry and I were able to go to North Carolina earlier this month for a Leaders' Summit. I learned all sorts of good stuff about becoming a leader for my own team. I look forward to implementing that information very soon. We also decided that, since we were there, we would make the most of the trip... Boy, did we ever! The first thing you should know is that we thought we could check into our motel any time of the day. We took a red eye flight from Salt Lake City, UT over to Charlotte, NC, had a rental car waiting for us, and drove two hours or so back to Asheville
