I understand this :)



In the above picture.. please disregard my horribly dyed eyebrows.. it wasn't my fault!

Okay Jenny, I understand.. I suck at blogging. I don't know why I have been such an anti-blogger lately... probably because I have still been sick, and most of the time my house is so messy, i have so much homework to do, and so many other things that blogging just gets shoved to the side... darn! I need to be better. A lot has happened since last time I blogged.. in November!! ha! What a loser!! Well, I haven't been feeling very well and they found that I have a thyroid issue- and now I'm on thyroid meds.. so I'm just waiting and praying that this might be what is making me miserable. (cross your fingers!!) Blake is studying super hard all the time- it's seriously crazy to me! I don't know how he functions, and if I had a lame social life like him, i would be so upset.. (oh wait, i do! because I don't go do anything by myself!) :) It's okay though, because it's almost summer... and I can wait a little longer.

So... as everyone know's Bradley is home! I am so glad, we love him- although he is already back to his old social self, so it's not like anyone see's him often.. :) it's fun to have him home though, and it was so fun picking him up from the airport! I'm so excited for Matt to come home too! April 28!!! Yay!! And for those of you who don't know, these are both of Blake's brothers that are coming home from missions! Brad was in February, and now we are waiting to have the family complete in April.

And I can't wait to be graduated! One semester left after this one, yay!!! If anyone knows of anyone hiring, let me know.. I am in need of a summer job with about 30 hours!
In February, we went to Grand Targhee for a family vaca with a few of our extended family members.. it was super fun.. we went skiing twice and it was sooo cold and fun! We had a blast, Targhee is fun whether it's summer or winter! And now, we are just dying for another vaca..preferably a longer further away one!! :) ha! Anyway It was fun! xoxo I will blog more later when more interesting things happen! haha!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner!!








Hey you guuuuuys! I don't even really know who reads this thing, maybe I just love to write for my own sake, but that's okay. It makes me feel good when I get to updating the ole' blog! So Valentine's is JUST around the corner and I thought I would give anyone who wants it a cute idea. It's called What I Love About You and it's a super cute book that you fill out a bunch of stuff in about your "special someone" and then give it to them. I did this for Blake while we were still dating and we still read it all the time. It for sure takes some time to fill out so I would order now! But if you take time and think about the answers it is the cutest gift because you can keep it and read it over and over again. Anyway... Just an idear. Booo I have been so sick lately.. my stomach will not let me digest anything normally.. Random, ha ha but I'm not feeling well now and this last weekend was hell. So I thought since it's almost Vday I'd post some of my favorite wedding photos... just for fun... I Lubb you all xoxo.

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 :)

Christine spent over 16 hours sewing for this room! And I love her for it!

She is sure nice to help Blake!!! gosh!











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 ♥ !!
