April flowers...

On my mind right now...

I should be asleep right now, seeing as I have to work tomorrow.

I LOVE our new bedding.... now I can't wait to get the rest of the bedroom decorated.

Belt sanders are very powerful.

I am excited to start our "everyday blessings" journal tonight.

Another funeral this Friday.... one too many this month :( I am reminded daily at work about how fragile life is.

I want to bake for a whole day.

We STILL need new couches.

I feel incredibly lucky to be married to Eric. He takes such good care of me.

I want to sleep through the night and not have a headache for one day.

I LOVE how our entertainment center is coming along.

The lady at Home Depot crushed our plans tonight when she said "no flowers can survive the Arizona summers." So much for our plans for a flower filled yard.

Our new patio set is so much fun!

I am loving our new ward and am excited to keep meeting more new friends.

I am thinking we will probably have to turn on our air conditioning this week.

I love my new IPOD touch... thanks love!

I have made a goal to be more gentle, kind, patient, and loving to each person I interact with daily and it is making life so much more enjoyable.

Boob comes home in less than 1 month!

Eric graduates in 3 weeks... holy cow! Hurray!

XOXOXO

Goodnight.

If you're gonna play in Texas...

...you've gotta have a fiddle in the band!

Our favorite parts of spring break 2010:

The Dallas Temple

The beautiful tulips at the Dallas Temple.

Touring the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

Seeing the $40 million dollar big screen in person.

Touring the locker room.

Playing with this beautiful baby.

Eating cake balls with these 2 fun kids.

And these incredible parents/hosts.

Eating a delicious dinner and satisfying all of Holly's meat cravings at this really cool Brazilian restaurant.

Eating gelato...who cares if it was snowing outside :)

Watching these guys get all ready and excited to make snow angels.

Waking up to the snow when only two days earlier we were wearing short sleeves and sunglasses.

Other highlights include:

.

Having to leave Six Flags after only 2 hours of it being opened because they closed the park for bitter cold weather.

.

Driving a total of 18 hours each way...yes we almost went insane but survived.

.

Holly calling in and winning a radio show contest at 3:30 am for some radio station in the middle of no where between New Mexico and Arizona. Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who actually called in...but nevertheless, it made our day!

.

Eating incredible food thanks to our fabulous hosts!

.

Seeing Kyle and Danielle's beautiful home and having lots of fun in the media room.

.

Visiting the Sixth Floor Museum and the grassy knoll.

.

We absolutely loved Dallas but mostly because we have the best family there! Thanks for an awesome trip guys!

March 1, 2010

Things on my mind tonight....

1. I wish my hair was early all the way curly or straight. Not frizzy in the middle.

2. I miss Aubrey. I want to squeeze her and give her slobbery kisses.

3. Yesterday was one of my most favorite Sunday naps ever. It was drizzling outside, our windows were open, the fan was on, and the love of my life was cuddled next to me.

4. I wish a magic fairy would come unpack the rest of our boxes. We're down the the miscellaneous "I-have-no-idea-where-to-put-this-stuff" boxes.

5. I love our new house.

6. I can't wait to get my Scentsy!

7. I wish we could find comfy good looking couches that were affordable and that we both liked.

8. After priming our entertainment center tonight, I googled how to get paint off of skin. It said to use margerine or butter. It doesn't work. Don't try it.

9. I love my brothers and sisters. They are really neat.

10. If I could stay home and bake everyday, I would.

11. I really enjoyed our new ward yesterday. I'm excited to meet new friends!

12. I was looking at my wedding pictures tonight and I love them.

13. I need a new hairstyle.

14. I am really enjoying my job lately.

15. I need new clothes.

16. I can't wait to have a house warming party! Parties are my favorite!

17. I want to set up my sewing machine and actually learn how to use it.

18. I wonder what our kids will look like.

19. I love Eric so, so much :)

When you give a baby a breadstick...

...you get the cutest little thing I ever did see.

Aubrey gets whatever she wants when she has lunch with Grammy and Auntie Holly.

Don't Blink

December 2009

Trip to Colorado to visit Michelle!

Christmas Eve at the Komenda's!

Shepherd and Red Sheep

The Wisemen

The Whole Cast

Christmas Day with Grandma Lois

Grandmas Lois can move her tongue from side to side faster than anyone in the world. So Eric and I had tried to learn from her incredible tongue trick :)

New Year's Eve at the Ortega's!

Project Life!!!!!

My project life arrived 2 weeks ago and I have been absolutely in love with it! My goal is to use each weekly spread as my blog post. I've been staying on top of the journaling and the picture-a-day but just haven't printed my pictures yet. More to come....
