meet my husband, the terrorist.

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.

its raining shoes.

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.

Happy Birthday Abe!!
(30 candles is a lot to put on a cake)

I am obsessed with these products! Not only are they are made with natural essential oils, they are biodegradable, and phosphate-free, AND they really do work!(way better than my past cleaning products) My kitchen has never looked so good!

I have read the entire Mortal Instruments series in approximately 7 days. To say the least... I love it! I was obsessed. I just want everyone to go out and buy it and read it. And then call me so we can talk about it!

is it cute or awkward?

Does this happen to anyone else? On a couple of occasions, without knowing, we have come home from work and have been practically wearing the same outfit.... i don't even know what to say about it?
Of course, if we go out, i make Abe change.




*on a side note: Why is Wes still on the bachelorette? He is a scumbag. I just want him and his ugly sleeve to get off the show already.

Jodi, Jodi, Jodi...

Did everyone cry as much as i did in this book?! Great book, but i mean seriously... there was sobbing! my shirt was wet from crying so much, its embarrassing. after i had finished the book i went down stairs and Abe was asking me about the book, and so i started telling him about it and I couldn't even finished because i start balling! I cant believe i was still crying over this book! am i so pathetic? And then there is Abe just staring at me, totally bewildered, not know what to say to me or do. I am laughing and crying as Abe tries to hug me. The whole thing was really funny, i had no control over what was happening......Jodi Picoult , why did you do this to me?!
