1 year= 12 months=12 things I love= :)

12 things I love about my Hubby for the 12 months that we have been married {as of Saturday May 30th 2009}:

1. How he takes care of me no matter what.


2. How he tells me I look cute when I have a new outfit.



3. How he eats cereal out of a large mixing bowl with a serving spoon because regular bowls aren't big enough.


4. How he always whistles and makes up his own songs.



5. How he snores every night but then makes fun of me for drooling.



6. How he always makes me laugh, even when I'm crying or in a bad mood.


7. How he loves to drive all over Arizona and go to new places.


8. How he can spend hours and hours on his landcruiser and yet, can't spend five minutes with me at the mall.


9. How he is actually into helping me decorate the house and isn't ashamed of it. He mentioned that he might be looking into interior decorating...haha.


10. How he puts his clean laundry on the rim of the dirty laundry hamper.


11. How he loves to snuggle with me and be close to me whenever we have time together.


12. And how he tells me he loves me and kisses me goodnight :)


There are so many more things I love but I figured 365 things for 365 days would take me too long!

We are leaving for San Diego early tomorrow morning and won't be back until Sunday, so you I'll be gone for a little. I'm going to take lots of pictures though!

Sorry

I'm sorry for neglecting my blog...I keep wanting to post and then I get side-tracked with everyone else's posts.
Remember the little broken table that my grandpa made? Well, here is the paint job...


I have it in a little corner in front of the house and I will eventually take a picture of it in its cuteness :)
I went to a friend's baby shower a few weeks ago and I made this diaper cake....


It was much cuter when it was wrapped in this fancy basket bag with twine and a bow but my camera decided at that moment to break and so I only have halfway finished pictures! Here is my topper :)


Then I bought this mirror for 14$ at Goodwill. I don't have a complete before picture {shame on me!} but here is an after....



Just regular black paint you say? NOT!


Chalkboard spraypaint!

ANNNnnndd we painted our front room on Memorial Day....Our room with the vaulted ceilings.....


I kind of...hated it for a little... because the lighting made it too yellow looking {rather than the cake batter-y creamy look I was going for} but I've come to terms with the lighting and figured out some mini fixes that make me happy...thankfully!!

As long as I keep it up with the creams and browns, I'm good.


That's it for now. I'll be better I promise!

Falling Slowly

I think I've listened to this song about 200 times in the past week. I heard it sung by Kris on American Idol and I liked it. Then I looked it up to find the original artist and lyrics etc. and fell in love with it. I personally find the original to be the best, but that is just my style with music.

Anyways, give this your attention for the next few minutes and you won't be disappointed.

My favorite part of this entire song is the actual interactions between Glen and Marketa, and how they really are portraying the music and words.

Life

My life is so empty without my camera to document and inspire me....


good thing there are magazines to look at to keep me placated until I can fix it somehow.


** In the middle of posting this I got the bright idea to look online for ways to fix my camera and mostly fixed it! It still has difficulty closing but it opens all the way and will take pictures. YAY.

Remodel!

My camera is currently broken. This is rough. Not broken broken....just broken so that the shutter won't open right. And this stupid camera won't work unless the shutter opens right so it keeps telling me "lens error. restart camera". Boo. I don't know how to fix it. I don't know where to take it to fix it. I just want it FIXED!
Soo...even though Kendall and I went on a relaxing campout on the Rim, I have no exciting picture of my own to share....just borrowed ones.


Anyways, I spent every day but one last week and already my Monday of this week helping out my sister in law and my brother with their house.



They bought a fixer upper....and by fixer upper I mean gut out most of the inside, build new walls and a new staircase and flooring and carpeting and everything while still living in it.
I LOVE IT! Even though Kendall and I just bought a house all nice and new this house makes me want to look for hidden treasures in what seems to be a total disaster.


It is going to be so perfect when it is done. I've been painting with them every day and watching the transformation and the floors are put in and the cabinets are glazed.

I love helping them too. It's been fun, even if it's been a workout on my painting arms. I really can't go on enough about how much I love all of this redecorating and remodeling! haha.



Maybe one day, I will find a spot in my house that needs it and will go to town. I currently do have the options of painting, re-arranging, and minor decorations to fill empty spaces. These will have to suffice me until I discover that something is horribly wrong and we just have to rip out something...hehe.

Home

Things I love about my drive home:

-the smell and look of fresh cut grass

-the dairy farms (even though they stink)

-the farmland

and friendly neighbors who wave and chat with me when I get home:

What do you love about your drive home?

Update: Survived...kinda

So, I did pretty well on that killer exam. I thought I would fail it but I think I at least got a B!! I am ecstatic!
The only catch....I just went to take an online quiz that was supposed to be due tomorrow....and found out that it was actually due yesterday....oops. Not totally my fault. To give me some credit, it was marked on the syllabus that it is due tomorrow. She updated it about a month ago and I failed to notice the date....:/
I emailed my professor so maybe there is hope that I can still take it! Worst case scenario I get a B in that class... oh well. We will see!
