i lied.

i know i said i would post about another piece of furniture i re-did

but...

the truth is, i never finished it. 

i thought i'd do it yesterday but i was too busy.

and this morning i thought that maybe i'd finish it today but i still havent gotten around to it. 

when i do finish it, i will post about it. 

i promise. 

on the other hand, its been extremely warm today.

even with the clouds.

i smell summer. 

its right around the corner, i can tell.

even if mother nature feels like it should snow in june, i must oppose.

bring it on mother nature. 

bring. it. on.

friday

today i decided to do another fill in the blank.

i got my questions via this blog.

here it goes:

1.  The very best thing about the summer is that it is so relaxing. everyone is so much happier and easy going. all of my stresses or problems seem to slowly fade. i dont care if that really isnt true, i just like to think so.

2.  My first crush ever was when i was in kindergarten. all of us girls liked the same kid. his name was wes, what a hunk. i remember we would play kissing tag all of the time. i dont even think we would actually kiss him once we caught him. after all, we were in kindergarten.

3.  i'm skipping. :)

4.  I squeeze my toothpaste from the middle. i could care less about starting from the end. as long as i'm brushing my teeth and i have toothpaste, thats all i care about.

5.  My absolute favorite "comfort food" is as of late, home made popcorn. its so much better than store bought popcorn and its way healthier.

6.  A random fact about me is that i used to play the harp. i played for 6 years and was getting pretty good. i think i'm going to start pushing myself to start playing again.

7.  The one piece of technology that truly makes my life better and I couldn't live without is definitely my iphone. i know lots of people would probably say that but it really is my side kick. with out it, i wouldnt be able to find my way through town. with out it i wouldnt have half of the pictures i've posted on my blog. there are many more reasons why i couldnt live with out my iphone. ask anyone that owns one and they'd agree with me.

--hope you enjoyed those fun questions.

how would you answer them?

mission accomplished

my oldest sister and her family just moved in to a new house.

with this new house my sister is going for a cottage/victorian kind of look.
we started with the master bedroom.

it started as a yucky brown color.
a brown that nothing looked good with.
our solution?
blue.
a really pretty pale but bold blue.
like this:
its kind of hard to see the real blue but get the idea, right?

once we got that blue on the walls, we had to think of something that would be elegant but not too feminine (for the hubby's sake) that would pop, to put on the wall that the bed will be on.
our solution?
a stencil and the perfect gold paint.
like this:didnt it turn out so amazingly well?!
we were both very happy with the ending result.
it shimmered the way that we were imagining and its going to go perfect with the theme.

i cant wait to see what the whole bedroom will look like when we are finished!
dont worry, i'll definitely be posting about the journey.

short but sweet..or humorous?

today my sister and i stumbled across this funny website.
i mean seriously, who takes the time to set up a website like that?
let alone take 100's of pictures of people.
but i guess people like me, and i'm sure many others, need something so worthless and funny like that in our lives.

i think i might start camping out at wal-mart so i can have myself a laugh.

blast from the past..

from when i first started my blog i have kind of changed my ways.

i decided that i would make my blog so that eventually i could turn it in to a book.
like a journal.

today i decided i would do a post on landon and i's past.
we have been together a year and eight months.
we've had so many pictures together, i thought it would be a good idea to put them together with the years.
just to see how we've changed from the beginning, to now.

here are the ones i have put together so far.

its fun for me to see how we've changed.
and it reminds me of all the fun events we've had together.
i love going through our pictures because it brings back so many great memories.

you should go look at your pictures through-out the year.
maybe you'll find some that you've forgotten about.

monday ramblings

today it poured cats and dogs.

okay, not really. but it did rain a lot.
and because of the rain, mother nature made this beautiful master piece..isnt that just amazing!?
i love rainbows.
this just happened to be right in front of us on our way home from SLC.
its incredible what mother nature can actually do.
it blows my mind.

in honor of this beautiful rainbow we decided to have some fun using the new Popsicle maker.
the steps to the popsicle maker..in case you cant read the picture:
1. gather contents
2. carefully put them in to the popsicle maker
3. let stand for 7-9 minutes.

then what do you get?..

a popsicle that looks like it could be on an advertisement.
didnt it turn out great?
it was delicious.

contents of this popsicle:
banana slices
vanilla yogurt
&
orange juice

yum.
i think i could eat 5 of those a day.
i cant decide if this instant popsicle maker is a good thing or a bad thing..?

i'd definitely say, good. :)
