I love fall.
I love fall even more when I get to see this little lady. The cutest N, and her also very cute little sister S. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of S; but here are some of N.


When I first started taking pictures she was so happy and went along with it.


Then I caught her while she was coloring the Princesses (which were covered in glitter; and by the end so was she)

And this is definitely my favorite. She looked at me and said "I don't want you to take pictures of me," and this is that exact moment. Best facial ever.


This is one Kate took. I just stole it. :)



While Papa Ted was out raking the leaves, N decided she needed to be outside with him. This is where she ended up. (Can you spot the child?)




The trampoline was covered in leaves; but that didn't stop her.



This was my favorite. She kept running around the trampoline, which was slippery from the condensation on the leaves; and would slip and fall; she loved it. Continued to run around.

She's the cutest; and I miss all of you all ready. J and I told N that when she comes back to see JW that we'll take her sledding and I don't think I've ever seen a child so excited.
So, to say the least, we're looking forward to that.

"marriage is like the trash; if you don't take it out once a week, it starts to stink."

My trash is starting to stink.

happy birthday to me...

So yesterday was my birthday, big 2-0, no longer a crazy teenager.
I worked my regular 8 hour day, but felt pretty special when I woke up to 14 text messages. After work J picked me up and took me home to change, where he had a GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers waiting (Gerber daisies...my favorite!)
He then took me shopping. We first went to downeast outfitters, possibly my favorite store ever. I got a new pair of slipper/shoe things, a GREEN double breasted coat, and some new earrings.
Then we went to Nordi Rack..my second favorite store where I purchased new True Religion jeans. Quite the purchase, and John had a hard time justifying $110 for jeans, but he bought them for me nonetheless, and I love them. At least I didn't ask for him to buy me the $200 Burberry rain boots, or heels...both fabulous shoes, but way too expensive; even when they were down from their regular $500. Eek.
We finished shopping and went up to my parents' house, and they bought us Crown Burger. Our favorite fast food restaurant.
Then we went home and watched Dodgeball.
All and all, a great day full of favorites.
I love birthdays. and my John.

I want him.

He's two years old, papered, certified, up-to-date on shots, and best of all...he's potty trained.

It'd be worth every cent of the $500 I would pay for him, just to have a friend to come home to.

sneak peek...

So I stole this from Opie's Blog. She added some of my bridal pictures, and a sneak peek of the wedding pictures all finished.
I'm so excited to get our album back, and to get the CD of all the pictures. Once I have them, maybe I'll post some more. But probably not...they'll go up on fbook. :)

it's been a while...

so I guess I'll blog. even though I have nothing to talk about.

I'm pretty bored with life. I work every day from 9-5, come home to an empty house, sit around by myself for usually at least an hour. Sometimes I do some of my homework, other times I just sit. It's pretty boring doing the exact same thing every day. I'm begging John for a puppy, because then I'd come home to something at least. He says that's not possible at the moment, seeing as we're both gone all day, and there would be no one to potty train the dog. I guess that makes sense. It just sucks being home alone.

Also, I miss my family. I swear we're always at J's parents' house, but we never see my parents. Kind of had a breakdown over it this last week. But something I have to get over.

Marriage is great, don't get me wrong. I love John and I love being married to him, I just am attention hungry I guess. Everything will be just fine though.

Like I said...nothing too exciting to blog about.

We're headed to Vegas next month for the Utah vs. UNLV football game. My little brother found front row tickets for 30 bucks, can't say no to that. So that will be nice, a weekend away is always good.

Well, that's all. If you're reading this, don't worry about me. I'm fine, just livin' day to day.

it's the most wonderful time of the year

UTAH FOOTBALL SEASON!!

It's back, and I love life.

The first game was last night against Utah State. I have to say, not the best display of Utah football, and USU had me scared for a minute. (After one of their players took the ball from one side of the field to the other side for a touchdown in one run. Eek.) It was a fun game. Even though I haven't felt that fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed the return of the best season of the year.

Kate and I before the game. I like the front of the MUSS shirts this year. I think the back is a cop-out. Oh well. Love that they're underamour though.

This is how John stayed occupied while I was at the game. He opted out of going to the games with me, seeing as the MUSS guest pass would have costed us $90, and he's not even that in to football, or sports for that matter. If you look at the bottom of both of the pictures, you'll see a hummer made out of knex. Yes, he built that. I hope our children get his creativity.
