elle is for lemons

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

As you can imagine, this week life dealt me lemons. Literally. My roommate went to CA and brought back lemons from a lemon tree in her yard.

So what do you do when you get lemons? That's right, make lemonade.

16 lemons + 2 girls + homemade simple syrup = delicious lemonade

Whit found the recipe online recipe and mixed the "simple syrup" to perfection.

I squeezed the lemons. Not as easy as it looks.

Proof it's from Whit's yard--it still has its umbilical cord attached!

After hard work, twenty minutes and starting from scratch, we finally achieved our glorious lemonade. Boy were we happy! It's delicious, if you live in the Provo area, you should come get a glass of our hand squeezed ice cold lemonade. Maybe we'll set up a booth or something.

This is Whit and I excited about our lemonade!

Prior to making the lemonade (which happened around midnight), Whit and I decided to work out. We decided to do Boot Camp--a DVD Whit bought at the grocery store last week. And man that was a work out. We were both glistening by the end of the workout and simultaneously decided that we would probably be sore tomorrow.

Not going to lie, this is not the original picture we took. The original consists of us holding this with frightened faces...
