I'll take one, please.

Home is whenever I'm with you


We have listened to this song a million trillion times and we will probably listen to it a million more.
( and i don't know how to put music on blogs, so if your sooooo confused its the song "Home")

i liked Monsters of Folk as much as i like the Orpheum Theatre(and that's a lot!)

Being sick and cooped up in the house all day, has made me really realize, that i want a new house. Do we really NEED a new house? probably not. But do i really WANT a new house? yes, i do.You know, just a little more space. Maybe a place where the smell of whatever our neighbors are cooking, doesn't seep into our house(and why does it always smell like salami?) Maybe a place with a real laundry room and a place to put my swifter sweeper. I think it is unfair that my Bosch mixer has to share a space with nasal decongestants. I have a lamp that is sitting on the floor because i have no space for a end table, so i expect this new house to cooperate with me and make room for my lamp. Oh, and i will probably want a big master room closet. I expect the paperwork for this house to be on my desk by Monday. thank you.

Just another day at Sterling and Cooper
Abe

OK, i know its hard to see because of the glare.... but, my display was chosen to be in the MCC's display case for my Display and Visual Merchandising class.

Wow, its about time i catch up on all this bloggy blog stuff! I have just been so busy lately! i know people do it all the time, but i am having a hard time adjusting to life with work, school, homework, church callings and a husband( and not to mention, my addiction to reading books). It took me a couple weeks to learn how to re-balance my life...but no worries, i think I'm 82% back to feeling like i got a hold of things.


Over Labor day weekend, we decided to take a last minute trip to San Diego. neither of us had been there in quite a while and it was definitely nice to get out of the heat! One of the big things we did when we were there was, we went Kayaking! Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of us doing that because we didn't have a water proof camera. We were at La Jolla beach(which is actually a nature preserve). We went into sea caves, saw sea lions and beautiful orange fish that were swimming in the clear water around us! Besides getting a little sea sick and being thrown out of a kayak when coming in, it was really fun!




We also went to the San Diego temple. We met the SWEETEST old man named Elder Nixon. His wife and him were serving there SIXTH(!) mission! All we could think about, is that we hoped someday we would have the opportunity to serve several missions(maybe not as many as six) as a couple later in our lives.
you have not idea of how many pictures i have of this same pose! i always end of trying to take of picture of us while we are driving and they all turn out with somebodies(mostly abes) head cut off(hey, he cant help it if he has a big head!) but man! I cant even tell you how much i love this guy, my husband, my best friend, mi vida.
My brother and Andrea and their boys were in San Diego the same time we were. We met up them for dinner for Andrea's birthday. Poor Parker was wiped out from a long day at Legoland!
We also, went to Old town and walked around.






Tiffany's Bridal shower

I threw Tiffany a bridal shower last week. It was hard with my tiny house, but i made it work!




After lunch we went and got pedicures.

In case if you were wondering what this was, it was my attempt to make hash browns.. ...it was DI-GUST-ING.

Can i just say, that i am really sad that i missed Pioneer Day! The whole day passed, and because I didn't realize it was pioneer day, there was no "Pioneer Day miracles". If i still lived in Utah, this wouldn't have happened! I would of been attending parades, swimming and watching fireworks! I don't think Arizona believes pioneers... yes, i am pretty sure they said "Happy Tequila day" on the radio.
