My Pinterest Project (Attempt and Fail)

Like many others, I have proven that I am addicted to the lovely world of Pinterest.
I saw this little project and just had to tackle it for myslef...

Its pretty easy according to this site.

So I made a run to Hobby Lobby and found me some animals to glitter up.

I decided on elephants.

I love elephants.

Success!

On Vday... Gav and I attempted to make these little beauties I found on Pinterest. . .

arent they cute?

Unfortunately, it was just a picture on pinterest and not a recipe.

So we tried our own...

Um... How is the jelly supposed to stay in place and not fall out the back?

I think you could call that a fail.

At least they tasted good.

:)

Vday Din Din

Yummy food by candlelight with my handsome husband.
We had a lot of fun.
I love him.

I am in love

That is all I have to say. Good night!!

Cant Believe It

I married the love of my life.
We celebrated our 2 year anniversary this weekend. . .
I can honestly say that he is the most amazing man I have ever met and is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
No body makes me smile like he does.
No body makes me feel more beautiful.
No body loves me like he does.
Here are just a few things I love about him...
1. i love how in the morning how you will roll over and cuddle with me and sing "Good morning Beautiful... how was your night? Mine was wonderful with you by my side..." What a stud.
2. i love that you are always singing to me and making up new songs for whatever situation we are in.
3. i love that you always want to be close to me and be touching me even if its just our knees or our hands.
4. i love that you work so hard to provide for our little family of {almost} three.
5. i love that you always remember to pray just before bed. Even if we are almost asleep, you will mention it and encourage us to be better.
6. i love seeing your handsome face after a busy day at work and the way you help me relax and wind down.
7. i love how we know what the other is thinking and just crack up laughing.
8. i love that you will watch silly shows with me even though I know they annoy you. {bachelor}
9. i love that you are my best friend
10. i love how happy you make me and all the adventures you take me on.

I love you, Gavin. So much!

PS. Check me out here. Guest blogging is awesome! {Perfect for Vday!}

This picture sums up my day

hi.

how was your V-day?

we celebrated on Monday because Gav had class and a basketball game. (pics to come!)

good thing too because i was NOT feeling good.

Food poisoning, heartburn, and pregnancy. Not fun.

Then last night I went out to the garage to get something out of the fridge--

and I got locked out.

Yup.

No shoes, no jacket, no phone and NO key.

So i ran outside to see if the back door was open.

no luck.

so i went back to the garage, but THAT door locked on me.

I didnt know what to do.

Gav was at his game and probably wouldnt answer his phone for another hour.

So i ran to the neighbors and started calling everyone whose number I had memorized.
Which was my mom, my dad and my husband.

It was awkward.

"Um, hey. Yeah your daughter got locked out of her own house. . . She is a keeper."

After some phone calls, luck happened.

Gavin called because A) His game had been canceled because of not enough players for the other team, so they forfeit. And B) because the number I called on was an out of state number and he thought he was getting a call from one of the schools we had been waiting to hear from.

thank goodness.

my hero came and let me in before i froze to death.

what a day.

Home

I just love spending time at my parents house for the weekend.

Gavin had some interviews this weekend so I was alone and it was so great to be able to spent time with my family to distract me from missing my hubby too much.

I am excited to have a home of my {our} own someday and fill it with love and laughter.

Of course we have that now, but it will be nice to have our own place someday.

I love how my mama decorates. Maybe she will decorate my house for me someday.

Blessings in Disguise

Ever have one of those days where you just want to go to sleep so the day would be over? Yesterday was one of those days
I feel like I have those more often since becoming pregnant.
Gotta love those hormones.
Gavin has a way of making everything better and for that I will always love him.
A few months ago, we decided we wanted to start a family and it was an emotional time because I had many fears.
I was afraid of how my life would change, whether good or bad. Change is always scary.
I was afraid of all the changes my body would go through.
I was afraid of any complications that could happen.
I was afraid we wouldnt have enough money.
I was afraid I wont be a good mother.

But since experiencing this adventure, my fears are still there, but they are different.

I am still afraid of how my life will change, but I am excited for it and am anxious for this new chapter in our lives.
I am still afraid of all the changes my body has {and still will!} go through but feeling her move and knowing that so many women have done it before me puts me so much more at ease. It is fun to see her grow!
I am still afraid of complications that could happen, of course! But I also know that Heavenly Father will help Gavin and I through anything.
I am still afraid of not having money to pay for all the expenses, but again, my Heavenly Father is there to help us and we have such an amazing support system in our family and friends. I know we will always have the help we need.
I am still afraid I wont be a good mother, but I know that this is what I am supposed to be doing. Sure, there will be times that I wont feel like #1 Mommy but I know I will be giving it everything I got and thats all I can ask.
I am so glad for those little blessings in disguise...

Super Bowl

I love Superbowl Sundays.
Mainly because of the food.
I will openly admit that I was on Pinterest most of the game.
I am not ashamed.
It was still fun to be with family and laugh at the commercials.

After eating all the yummy food, my sister said she had a food baby so we had to take a picture.

Of course!

Celebrating Sissy's Birthday

It was my sissy's birthday this weekend as well.
She turned 19 and we took her to brunch at this awesome place in downtown SLC called Wild Grapes.
So good.
My favorite was the artisan bread, fruit and cheese.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it. 

Happy Birthday my beautiful sister!

Love you!
