My room - Pictures by Trav

Also, here are some pictures of my room taken by Travis.. my brother- here is a link to his amazing website

they are coming up really small, but the ones below if you click on them will blow up bigger.

My New Room!?!?!?!?!?

Over Christmas my hubby decided to give me a bedroom makeover!

What a surprise this was, I had NO idea.. So apparently Blake had been planning all of this for months before christmas and was working on all of the plans and furniture with his mom and over time buying all these cute accessories to go with it. I LOVE it, and I am OBSESSED with it. It was the best Christmas ever. Everything I could have ever wanted is inside this room. And my husband is super sacrificing, to allow me to be a princess in my ever so feminine room... but what can I say? It's perfect. He knew JUST what I wanted. And my favorite thing about it is that I didn't have to choose ANYTHING... I just think if it were up to me I would have questioned each of my decisions and I wouldn't have known what to do. But him and his creative mother put their minds together and created this!! It TRULY brings me joy every time I step foot into my room. Before I HATED my room and never wanted to go inside, and now Blake has to rip me from the walls to get me out!! I just love him. He truly has to be the greatest husband in the universe. I KNOW he always puts me first.. he just treats me like I am the most amazing thing that has ever graced this planet... which makes me feel sooo special to him because I know I'm not. He is just the best, and anyone who knows him knows he is extraordinary. Thank you Blake, for the most amazing thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me.

ALL OF THESE PICTURES CAN BE CLICKED ON FOR A LARGER ONE :)

My new room AFTER!!

Lovely scripture shot and there are now candles in the above candle holders ^^

These pictures are lacking a chandelier that hangs right above that chair.. I will post more and more later!

I love this chair. It might be one of my favorite details... it's perfect and it matches the canopy and a pillow on my bed.. Chris sewed it ALL.

The canopy above my bed (the wood part) was built by my brother Dave.. he is sure talented.. I think I just married into an all around TALENTED bunch.. gosh what will i contribute?

Wow. :)

I love love this picture ^^

this picture was custom painted by my sister in law Taryn.. you can see her blog here

she makes the best things, cards, calendars, notepads.. and she will design anything CUSTOM for you!!! so check it out.. :)

I love my husband.

My Halloween Masterpiece

So as you know, I was a chicken and Blake was a farmer for Halloween.. Everyone has been wondering how we made our costumes. So i thought I'd post a few pictures of the process. Blake was the mastermind behind how to actually make it, he is the artistic one. Oh and by the way, it was really hot while he was hot gluing my feathers on... and I mean temperature hot.. not sexy hot! :) Oh and don't mind my garmies.. haha

And of course, the finished product :)

Thanksgiving Week Part 2 - Jackson Hole

And for the second half of the Thanksgiving break we made our way up to Jackson Hole with Blake's family. It was so much fun, not to mention me and Blake had a few interesting experiences on our road trip up there.. one including a GHOST! Seriously.. but maybe I'll blog about this later. It's creepy and I'm home alone. Well we had tons of fun up in Jackson, we pretty much just walked around the shops, ate food, and hung out and played games along with a yummy Thanksgiving feast! It was super great, and I love Blake's family. Ya ya! Okay and now we get to have tons of family time over Christmas! ahhh I love this time of year ♥ !!

Just for Chuck & Aaron

Here are also some pictures of our trip in October with Cherise and Aaron now this was a Las Vegas hotel room if i've ever seen one! Mirrors on the ceiling, mood lighting pink walls! What more can you ask for?? :) We went to the Byu Vegas game and then just hung out... these are the only pictures we really ended up with, and this is funny because they are all really childish.. kind of just how we are when we all get together!

Ta Da!

Our Thanksgiving Week- Vegas

Well gosh everyone MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Wow! Can I just say I love my husband? I don't want a mushy goo ga ga blog, but I really truly and honestly feel my love for him grow each day. This is the best news! After a year we are just loving each other more and more, what more can I ask for? I am so excited to spend these next couple weeks with him over Christmas vacation!! Sorry, I haven't had time to update my blog since finals, and everything got crazy. But wow, doesn't it feel good to have some time to just chillax! I wrote in my journal a few days ago, for the first time in a year!! This year has been soooo crazy!

So anyway, over Thanksgiving break we had the time of our lives. We spent the first half of

the week in Vegas for our Anniversary.. It was a side of Vegas I've never seen before. We had

a beautiful room at the Wynn Encore overlooking their amazing golf course and swimming pools no sign of that dirty strip anywhere! It was breathtaking :) We just had a super relaxed vaca with lots of Christmas shopping and yummy food. I just love having Blake to myself.

it's something I don't get often with him being so busy. (Not complaining) I just love when we can only focus on hanging out with each other and making each other laugh. It's so fun!

oh, also we went to this awesome show at the Encore, it was called La Reve has anyone seen it? Pretty spectacular! Here are some pictures of our adventure!
