:)

Let's make this short, sweet, and simple. Here are some pictures with a little description.

Before = Blah. Dave is cute though. :)

So we FINALLY got our bedroom set. We love it. Now our room looks sorta put together.

Next is lamps, pictures, curtains, ottoman thingy. In due time. No rush.

Well I got bored one day and took some pictures. There wasn't too much that was very pretty.

There wasn't snow on the ground-there was mush.

No flowers-they're dead.

The temple grounds were closed-so none of that.

I was cold anyway, so oh well. There are a few that I thought were decent.

I saw this hairstyle on youtube. Thought I'd try. It looks pretty cool. But that day I ran out of hairspray.

You can see a bobby pin falling out.

That was a long day at work I'll say. It was outta control!

This was a simple pinterest project I made another night when I was bored.

I found a frame at Goodwill for like a buck and just got a few things and voila. Cuteness. 

It's for our little mini beach bathroom downstairs.

And on Sunday night, we realized our fridge was broken! It definitely must not have been working the whole day...(maybe even the day before) everything was pretty mushy in the freezer so we had to throw it all out and nothing was very cold in the fridge. I guess we are glad it isn't summer...So the fridge dude came and looked at it and it has been decided. We get a new fridge from our apts! At least we don't have to pay for it, but I kinda wonder what it will look like. Guess we'll find out. I just have high hopes its like stainless or something...yah right though. :) 

So far in 2012

Life hasn't been too crazy so far. We have just been doing the normal stuff, just hangin' out and working. Getting new licenses, registering cars, looking for insurance. You know, the good stuff. We have started a project though! Kind of cool. Hopefully it works! We are trying to refinish our table. I got it from a co-worker and we figured we'd try it out. Why not?? So here's a few pictures.

The first in the series is the original table. The next is me munchin on some chippies while David sands it in the freezing cold. (He did make me do it too, though.) Then it is the sanded not so shiny product. And one layer of finish. We have another layer on it, but I don't have a picture. And we forgot a slight step. I don't know how much it really affects the table, but I guess we will find out. And David likes to lather that stuff on...nice and thick. I think a little too thick. So we'll see. ha Guess we really can't ruin it, so whatever happens, happens! We will also have to do part of the chairs. And then reupholster them. 

I made this sign for our bedroom with my nifty cricut that I got for Christmas. I need some more fonts and styles now! :) Not sure how I feel about the yellow still...hm.

This stuff is amazing. Click this link for the recipe >>> YUMMY.

It is the easiest thing ever. And so good. Next time I will cut the potato chunks smaller just so it is easier to eat them. But other than that it is perfection in your mouth. 

A few weeks ago we had game night at our house with our awesome neighbors. It was a good ol' time playing some settlers of catan and mario kart! Then at midnight (so it wasn't sunday anymore) we went to this little mexican restaurant right by our house. So we walked there in the freezing cold and pigged out. Good times. 

I just want to say that I am so excited to see both sets of my parents! Yay! :) 

(Well minus my dad--poor guy has to stay home and work.)

Good times are coming up and there is so much to be thankful for and so many reasons to be happy.

The New Year.

Well we have made it to 2012. The past year has been a great one for us, the best yet in fact. :) Well anyways. We spent NYE down in salt lake. We did this last year as one of our first dates, so we wanted to kind of "relive it" or make it a tradition kinda, possibly. We'll do it when we can. How's that for a tradition. Ha. It was super fun. Anything we do together makes me happy. So we went down to Target, I know it may not seem like a big deal, but really it is! We are just too far....then we went to dinner at Red Robin, which we also don't have near us. We actually had a feast there. Almost couldn't walk after...haha. Oh man. Then we headed down to SLC and walked around the gateway, watched the water show that's there and tried to take a picture. It only took us probably 7 tries to get the water semi-shooting up. :) I don't know why I stick things in my pockets when we take pictures...YUCK.

Oh, and thanks for the gloves again Shan and Rod. :) Love them!

We walked around the temple grounds, looked at the lights, and just talked. We road on the little light-rail thing and that's fun in itself. People watching is just great! We also saw Whitney (David's sister) and talked with her for a little bit. We were going to go ice skating, but we were already freezing and just decided not to. So we headed home, saw lots of fireworks in the sky which was cool, rented a movie and I got a blue raspberry slurpee! My absolute favorite! Oh, we rented 'Warrior'. Go get it. It is amazing! Loved it. Annnd that was our date. Happy New Years!
