a few things I luv

I know I still have yet to update about christmas but I was window shopping online when I started to think about a few things I luuuuv...

Blue jeans and a white shirt

anything mint

weddings

black satin dresses

pretty much anything and everything sung by Ingrid Michaelson

The color blue

peonies, poppies, and tulips

AJ's nose and yes I know that is random

Skeleton keys

Dupioni Silk

Cilantro

Headboards

Pearls

Mountain dew, diet coke, and lemon water

Cold but sunny days in fall

Law and Order

and of course I absolutely love my absolutely amazing hubby

Thank you Bakerella

Yesterday I could have folded the mountain of laundry on my bed, cleaned a bathroom, and put away the last of my Christmas decorations (I know it is sad that I haven't put them all away yet) OR I could make these yummy cake bites covered in chocolate I saw on Bakerella. I went with the cake and chocolate idea and I'm oh so happy I did. I'm already looking forward to making them again and decorating them all fancy schmancy. I may have munched on 2 or 12 of these. So good.

I had actually intended to post about our Christmas but the pictures are taking waaaay to long to load right now so I'll just have to post that later!

Catching up.....

I hate when I get behind on blogging because then I feel like there is so much to cram into one post and who wants to read that? So hopefully I can make this short and sweet!

I'm looking forward to...

I'm looking forward to pumpkin pie next weekend :) You see what my priorities are, food is first on my list hahaha

I'm looking forward to the day when Stephanie Meyers decides to flippin finish "Midnight Sun" which for those of you who don't know is the 5th installment of the Twilight series that has been put on hold due a stupid BYU-I student who illegally got a hold of a manuscript. Lame.

I'm really excited to get a new jacket this winter. I'm not sure which jacket I'm going to get yet but this is one of my favorites.

I'm looking forward to finishing my first quilt, which by the way, looks nothing like this. This is waaaay beyond my level. I just thought it was a sweet lookin quilt.

I'm looking forward to going back to school. It is a huge mess and I don't know how it will work out but hey I'm excited!

I'm sooo looking forward to chopping down our first Christmas tree together. It is our second Christmas but we didn't get to go last year so it will be a first for us.

And last but definitely not the least, I'm so stoked to have this little nugget running around my apartment next week! I seriously can't wait it will be so fun! Oh yeah and Emily and Travis are coming too, hahaha.

lucky

AJ+me+forever=lucky me. I was honestly trying to put my thought into words and it just wasn't happening. So basically this really awesome equation is how I feel. He is so good about serving others and seeing as how we live, eat, breath, and do everything together I think it is safe to say that I am the happy recipient of much of this service. Just a few things that I really appreciated this last week were the crepes that he made me sunday night(it just occurred to me that we often end up eating breakfast foods on sunday evenings, no idea why) not just picking up but really cleaning the house so that I could focus on organizing our spare room that was seriously out of control, folding the laundry 2 times this week because he knows I truly hate doing it, and taking care of me this week by making trips to the store, giving me foot rubs, and attacking the house with disinfectant when I had a little flu bug. He really did attack the house with disinfectant, it was great. He also laughs at my jokes and makes me feel funny. That really is an act of service because I'm really not funny. He is just the best and I feel so lucky to be his wife. I feel incredibly blessed.

Papa, Natie, and Sadie's Birthday

Lame Lame Lame

If someone else has come across this problem I would love to hear how the heck you solved it. I've been trying for about a week to post some pictures but each time I do it shows up in my post as a bunch of text. I've tried new software updates, downloading from different sources, and I've checked the settings of my computer and I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. It really is frustrating though!! If you have any suggestions I would be happy to hear them! I'll feel like an idiot if this is a simple fix that is incredibly obvious but oh well.
