Go see some of our "Family" Pictures

My good friend just took some pictures of us last night. It was quite the undertaking since we wanted to have the dogs in the pictures too, so thanks guys!

By the way, if you need some pictures, you should check 'em out!

Recent Happenings...

Today my Grandma helped me make some yummy Peach Jam!! We ended up with over 20 cups of it (the picture doesn't show all of it obviously)...but at least we won't be buying jam anytime soon! One other cool thing, Ball the company that makes the glass jars now makes these cute little plastic ones with different color lids...maybe you have already seen them...I just think they are cute.

Afterwards I had to have some toast!





One of my favorite blogs is Nester. She always has easy ideas for decorating and so I took a hint from her and mistreated my bathroom window. Here is the before: And then after:And then after I hung my clearance hand towels:It still isn't perfect, but hey, it's better than it was before! (Also it only cost 3 bucks to do!)


Well that all turned out okay and so then I mistreated my door because we needed a little more privacy. (Sorry no before pictures)I really liked the fabric and I got a pretty good deal on it so this is it's new home for now. I would really like to get some ribbon and make some little runners to go down the mistreatment, but i haven't gotten that far yet. The best part is that I could take it down and cut it up and make some pillows out of it or something... Anyways, it's not perfect at all, but at least we have some more privacy and it's covered with something cute.

I Love Heels

Okay, mostly I just wanted to show off my new shoes that Jon got me for an anniversary gift:

But then Jon asked how many pairs of Jessica Simpson shoes I had...and so I had to go count...8 pairs. (The top two shelves in picture below) I acquired most pairs while I worked as a Shoe Salesgirl @ Dillards about two years ago. That was not a good job for me, I was always finding cute things that I HAD to have. After I left, I had a friend still working there and so she used to call me when the cute shoes went on sale...I had connections...usually she would call and the conversation would go something like, "those JS shoes went on sale. Want me to hold a size 7?"... I do have other heels as well...



See that next row? Those are the begining of the not-Jessica Simpson shoes. Most of my shoes aren't Jessica Simpson, but the JS are my favorites usually. How about the hot pink heels? Like 'em? I bet you are thinking...does she actually have outfits to wear with those, and yes I do. Anywho, I have A LOT of shoes... I have another shoe holder in my closet filled with shoes. So not to worry, I probably have a pair of shoes to go with any outfit.

Really Quickly...

Okay, sorry I haven't been updating much, but it's been a busy week and today is Jon's day off so I don't want to neglect him for too long or he'll start complaining about blogging.

Anyways, saw this on Heather's blog and decided i needed to post it as well, just because I think it is hilarious and kinda of weird, possibly gross:

Check it out.

Ah, what the heck.

So I finally summoned up the courage to do a little chop-chop to the hair. I was hating my long hair. It was boring and took FOREVER to do. I needed a change.



Also, please excuse the self-portraits. I hate them--they remind me of MySpace/myspace/Myspace (Hey Jill, did we ever figure that one out?!). But there are no people here and my dogs do not have opposable thumbs...

That's okay...I didn't want to pay bills anyways

I may never understand what is so wonderful to dogs about eating paper...

Is it the tearing sounds? Does it make you feel powerful?

Is it that 10 cups of food a day (per dog) is just not enough? Is that why you scavenge around the house all day looking for scraps of paper, food, bugs...etc?

...Besides where do you find all this paper anyways? I swear I have no idea where you get it half the time.

Well, don't worry. I didn't want to pay the bills anyways...

(Sorry it's a cell phone pic...it's the best i could do...)

Well, and I guess since you, Trigger, ate the actual bill...it would only be fitting that Thor ate the envelope too.

Wedding Anniversary

3 Years ago, Sept. 17, 2005, we were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple for time and Eternity! It seems crazy, but I love you more today then I did 3 years and can't wait to keep learning, growing, and having fun together! I couldn't have asked for anything else! And I just think this picture is cute...
