Day 12: Nutella

Day 12: A small miracle in the Roberts' Family happened today.  Lacee was able to get out of student teaching relatively early!  Now she can come accompany me in the summer work gig.  I've missed lacee so much, but its nice to now have a date on when she'll get here.

I found this gem in Wal-Mart and its all Lacee's when she gets here.

PS- If lacee was a sink of dishes, I'd be the soapy water

Day 11: Scriptures

Day 11: I missed a day on this due to spending the night in Oakland (the worst airport in the US).  After 13 hours of sleep I'm back to normal.  Its a little hard to serve Lacee when she's 5,142 miles away, BUT, Skype is an amazing thing; So are my scriptures, because she's all over them.  Bringing the "Lace Case" into style.

PS- If lacee was a set of scriptures, I'd pray about her

Day 10: Departure

Day 10: Well today Lacee and I had to separate for a few days and maybe weeks.  A little sad, but for good cause.  We're headed off to Louisville this summer for work.  Lacee had to teach and i left before she got home, so I left a surprise.

Flowers and Chocolate Macadamia nut ice cream

PS- If lacee was an ice cream cone, I'd be a double scoop. . . 

Day 9: Curry, Cookies, and Update

Last night Lacee and I, accompanied with Dave & Rebecca, ate out at the Fiji Market Curry Kitchen.  It was pretty legit.  Cookies came after

This ^ is an update from a previous blog, you'll have to check it out.

PS- If lacee was a kitchen aid, I'd be her mixing bowl

Day 8: Temple Trip and Tennis

Day 8: Lacee and I are getting ready for a summer's work.  I'll be leaving really soon and Lacee has to stay back to finish student teaching for hopefully only 2 weeks.  This is sappy, but we've never been away from each other before, not even a day, so 2 weeks is going to be pretty hard.  I took my bride to the temple, and then we played some tennis.

ps- if lacee was an endangered species, and she kind of is, I would be her conservationist. . .

Day 7: Pizza Picnic on Temple Hill

Day 7: Sunday was a super lazy sunday, and it reached its best moment in the afternoon when we ate "fatty pizza" (Bacon, Ham, and Pepperoni).  The weather was awesome and the view was sweet.  Right behind the temple and we took our best friends in hawaii, Dave and Rebecca.  

PS- If lacee was a earthquake, I'd be her Richter scale?

Day 6: Expressions of Love

Day 6:  I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday.  The internet was out, BUT, Today's idea was suggested by Veronica Camarillo, which was suggested by Mormon Messages.

< This is the link to the Mormon Message.

So, as Elder Scott did, I also wrote out 100 words to describe my love for Lacee.  

Also, My wife graduated Summa Cum Laude in her double major (Elementary ed and Special Ed). She's always one step ahead of me...

PS- If Lacee was a blank page, I'd be her scribe

Day 5: Planter Box

Day 5: First day of Summer Break, made a planter box.  I'm not really sure what Inspired me to do this, but I thought it would be cool.  There is a small background story though.  At BYU-Hawaii, there are acres and acres of wild jungle woodland behind the school that lacee and i frequently run in.  While Lacee and I were dating I made a clearing a few miles away from campus and planted some berry bushes and some vegetable vines.  I would wake up at 4:30am and hike to the spot and work for a couple hours.  Lacee and I were together 24/7, so if she noticed I was missing, I would just tell her I went running.  However, over a 2 week span, while lacee and I were on the mainland for cross-country races a huge storm desolated my farmland.  I came back and nothing was left.  All the plants that were about to bare fruit were annihilated.  So this is the humble rebirth of that great catastrophy.

PS- If lacee was an ice rink, I'd be here Zamboni. . .

Day 4: Finals are Over

       Day 4: Some days, especially right after you finish your last final in a college semester, you have to just lay down and watch some t.v.  Right now Lacee and I are hooked on "Lie to Me".  Its a really good show.  We watched 3 episodes back to back to back.  The dinner I made wasn't worth taking a picture of, but it was pretty good.

  

              In other news, Lacee and I have acquired a new hobby.  We're still rather new to the sport, but we love it.  We're getting pretty good too.

            

PS- If lacee was mattress, I'd be her sheets

Day 3: Hunger Pangs

Day 3:  Before I get started its important to a make fact known.  I suffer from late night hour hunger symptoms. . . which pretty much means i wake up at strange hours of the night or morning and have to eat a full meal.  My previous roommates can verify the packed lunches i bring to bed with me and the crinkling noises of chip bags in the late night.  Last night was such an occasion.  I was up studying until about 1:30am and the hunger hit me.  Lace was asleep so i had to make something quietly.  I started into an extensive meal that I was craving.  Right as it was finishing up i wanted to exercise some self control.  I knew lace loved this dish, so I made myself a PB&J and put the pasta in a tupperware for her lunch.  There wasn't enough to make 2 servings, it was more like 1.5 servings, and something I believe strongly in is the "satisfaction rule".  The satisfaction rule is something I made up about smaller quantities of food or beverages.  If there is only a cup or two of milk in the jug, just finish it! Don't leave a half an ounce for me to get my hopes up and then leave me unfulfilled and unsatisfied.  So that was the case with the pasta.  I was dying for it, but Sacrifice is Love.

The Photography ins't great, but you get the idea

                          Pesto

                          Garlic

                          Sun Dried Tomatoes

                          Almonds

                          Rosemary

                          Mozzarella Cheese

Day 2: Pedicure/Foot Massage

Day two:  Pedicure and Foot Massage. . . This just seemed like a good idea.  Lacee is on her feet all day student teaching.  She walks to school and back from school with a teacher's bag that I don't understand.  This things weighs at least 40 pounds, no joke.  I don't know how 4 binders can contain so much weight.  Either way, Lacee's feet received the treatment they deserve.

                                                            The essentials

                   She looked a little skeptical at first, but overall I think she liked what she got

                                                                        She loved it


This was a couple days late.  I should have done this as a part of our Easter celebration; next year.  Lacee's feet were as smooth as a baby's bottom.

PS- If lacee was an elementary school, I'd be her janitor. . .

Day 1: A simple thing

Alright, so day one of Lacee's awesome life began with something simple and easy, yet it brings a woman so much joy.  I cleaned the house, but mostly the kitchen.
