Spring!!!

I have been absolutely terrible at keeping my blog updated, so tonight, when I went through my pictures, I decided it was time to share.

This is clear back from my Birthday but I had to share a pic. of my handsome man taking me on a date.

Miss Liddy has been helping me study lately (which I seem to be doing a lot of)

 A few weekends ago, Dan, Wendy, Kyler and Koen came out to visit for the day and I got to hang out with this handsome boy for the first time! His momma and I got to run around and play while Dan, Justin and Kyler went and worked on some Cell towers out here for Dan's work.

I FINALLY bought a Sectional for the basement. I've been 'nit-picking' through some different options for quite a while now and this one kind of "fell into my lap" a week and a half ago, so I bought it.
(Thanks Kalen for helping us move furniture!!)

My sweetheart and I went out to dinner and shopping for some overdue "us" time a while back.
We keep ourselves so busy, it's nice to slow down sometimes!

New Glasses = The enemy.
These little fellers might just have pushed me over the edge when deciding whether to wait until after kids for PRK.
 I've decided that I'm going to call for a consultation for this coming weekend when we go to the city for Justin's softball tournament. It was funny though because Justin and I have been discussing it for quite a while now and today he just blurts out "So what if they have to do 'touch-up's' so many times that they can't do touch up's anymore?" and I told him "Worst case scenario, I'd just end up back in glasses in my later years," and it was like I had just handed him a treat "Oh! So you mean you wouldn't be blind?"

Haha-- He cracks me up sometimes!

Speaking of "Treat's"-- this Salad is our new favorite. It's Grilled Chicken and grilled pineapple in a Caesar salad with Parmesan cheese and croutons. Yum.

I have also- as of last week- finally joined the 21st century and ditched my blackberry for this shiny new girl. (Yes, I consider my electronics to be gender specific)
My contract was ready for renewal and I was tired of my blackberry freezing so I finally gave in and got the new iPhone 4S and i love it!
I've just started to play with the "Siri" feature. She pretty much amazes me.

This last week we had a new Rue 21 open in town, so of course I had to go check it out. I found some stellar new necklaces...

 ...and these bad boys. I found some new shirts for Justin too, but no pics yet :(

{More Studying} -- I'm so ready for this class to be over.

Trish and I have been keeping up with our "Thursday Girl Lunches."
I can't believe how big Miss Ali is getting. She is sitting in her Bumbo (sp?) chair like a big girl and she'll jabber and laugh at us. It was only yesterday that Her mom, Mother-in-law, and I were standing in the doorway at the hospital waiting for this little girl to get here! Between the laughing and the crying (and everything that comes between) I love her and her mom to pieces!

Speaking of babies...Is there anything more adorable than baby shoes???
{Justin may have an issue when it comes time for kids of our own- cause I'm obsessed}
A girl I visiting teach had an adorable little girl this last week, so I had my sister crochet these bad boys for me and I loved them-- so I had to share!

 P.S. Why didn't anyone tell me the church had an "lds store" online. Pfft...I made this discovery and ordered some art from them and I can't wait to get it framed and on the wall. This one is of the Sacred Grove and on the bottom it says "What happened here changed the world, let it change your life"
love.it.

This morning, Mom and I were going to go to Real Deals to buy her a clock for her new office (Yay Mom!) and Tiffany and the girls were in town, so they stopped by and we all drove up together.
Hailey always asks me to do her hair, and it's at that stage where it's just short enough- pony tails look like antennas and if you leave it down (she refuses to let you curl it) People tell Tiffany "What a cute little Boy"-- So we opted for the "antenna- treatment" today.

While at Real Deals...I found these beauties. Yes. They are: Tufted. Burlap Trunks. With Brass Buttons. Need I say more???

And...yet another clock (for me to be made fun of)...I think I'm in the 30's now- but the bathroom in the basement didn't have a clock yet. I was on the hunt and found this beauty. She'll match perfectly!

And...last but not least...I stopped drinking soda for about a week and a half. It didn't last- as usual. However! I am proud of myself for the fact that I don't even have one a day-- where before I would catch myself drinking 2-3 a day. Whew!!!
Talk about losing a few lbs. in a hurry- I'm drinking more water and have exercised every day for the past week.
Beach bod. Here I come.


I have been loving the beautiful weather outside this weekend. I'm hoping it sticks around! I want my grass to turn green and for it to get warm on the mountain so we can take the dogs up for my favorite kind of date! Just Justin, Me, the Dogs and a Camp Fire on the mountain. Once I make it up there, someone will have to force me down!
