easy peasy

Made this flower ball, so much easier than my valentine balls made from streamers! 

with our white walls and brown/tan furniture in the family room I've added this

and two yellow pillows for the color. so easy! just cut circles of felt, fold twice and

pin onto whatever size stirofoam ball you have.

I also plan on making some of these cute flower pins

Thanks Dad!

Hallelujah! and the usb has been found! From time to time when living with the parentals I did some blogging in the family room on the couch. Well low and behold, it was under the couch! Thanks for finding it Dad! ...now to find the battery charger for the camera....lol

                         So during Valentines this is what our apartment looked like...

our ''laundry room'' turned food storage room.
Next year the big purchase will be a washer and dryer

found this cute box at Ross

                                    

Dollar store? thank you! Ryan's favorite snack :D

Oh how I miss this darling little boy and his cheeser grins and bear hugs

This gem is as cute as can be, she is pretty much precious and thought about
stealing her for a night.

Still no camera cord... but yay for camera phones! sorry the quality is obviously not the best.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Naturally this project isn't completely finished but whatever it works for now. I just want to add a few buttons and ribbon onto some letters. My friend was able to get these letters cut out so we had a girls night in doing some sanding, painting and modpodging.

Hope you all are having a great day and have some luck on this holiday :)

oh and thanks to my friend Kylie who did this project with us let me know I did the 'U' backwards! ughhhh Seriously.... s-m-r-t what can I say.. please tell me it's not THAT noticeable.

sick to my stomache

Since we have moved to our new home I have failed to find my camera usb cord. I just love moving, losing clothes, house hold items, dvd's and not just this move but all of my previous moves combined. Anyway enough rambling. So till I find the black beauty I have no pictures to share.

However tonights story has no need of pictures... I have never felt so sick to my stomach before.
I had just chowed down on some sonic and drinking a delicious strawberry limeade, completely full and went back to cutting hair. As I look down to begin cutting the top of my clients hair I see that my wedding ring is no longer on my finger. For a second I feel like I'm going to loose my lunch all over my client, and then I think oh, well maybe just maybe I'm delusional and forgot to wear it today. But sure enough from the slight imprint lines around my finger I knew I really had worn it today. I hurried and finished the cut and frantically looked around my station, the computer, ran to the back room almost in tears. I sat there thinking what and how was I supposed to tell Ryan I lost my wedding ring. Insert major anxiety at this point.  I sat there praying that it would be found that some miracle would happen and I would have it back and promised to never take it off at work again.

And did that miracle happen? well...not quite. I look to my left to where my purse lay and to my amazement on top of my yellow wallet lays my ring next to my lotion that I had put on before my hair cut so I wouldn't smell like food. Looks like coloring my hair brown doesn't take away the ''blonde moments'' after all.

Lessons learned: 1. I need more sleep so I actually remember what I did 5 minutes before
2. I will never never take my ring off at work again. I tend to do it when I put in mens sticky gel in their hair.

Will you be mine?

Valentines day is one of my most favorite holidays ever! Yes it is super ridiculously cheesy, yes people say it's just a day for stores to up their sales in chocolates, flowers and oversized stuffed animals. But I love it all! well except for the oversized stuffed animals. I was thrilled to find out that I didn't have to go into work today, I spent the day purchasing chocolates, sparkling cider, organizing our home and get everything ready for a romantic dinner for our first married Valentines Day. 

February 2002 sophomore year in High School

Our first date was Sweethearts dance.

I was SO nervous that entire night, I actually tripped going down the stairs and had my 

"She's all that" movie moment when Ryan caught me. 

17 years old, seems so long ago!

I love that he can always make laugh

All he has to do is look at me and I become putty in his hands

Happy Valentines Day! After knowing you for 9 years I still get butterflies

being around you and feel like the luckiest girl to be called your wife

Monday again

The weekend is over and it's back to reality of working two jobs, thank heavens I only had one job to work last week so I was able to put most of my time and energy into unpacking, organizing and decorating our new home. With a few things left to do we are basically done! Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday and we had so much fun! We weren't able to go to Huntsville with my side of the family so we went to our friends Steve and Kylie to their party. Kylie and I lasted the first quarter than it was time to pull out our craft bags.

I made these little babies (thanks to this blogger) and can't wait till the white one is finished so I can put them up for the holiday.

The past week has been a bitter sweet one. My sister, her husband and two beautiful children (finally met the baby!) are in town and can't wait to spend time with them.

Ryans Aunt passed away last week, it was a shock to us all and will be attending her funeral tomorrow. It's a reminder of how short life really is and we need to live life to it's fullest. It is such a blessing to know the plan of salvation, to know that there is life after death and we will be re united with loved ones.

It has been 6 months now that we have been married, crazy how time flies by!! I swear it was just a few weeks ago is all. We have finally been able to unpack our wedding gifts and use them, purchase some items from gift cards (Thank you!!) We have slacked off and need to sit down and write our Thank You notes to everyone.

Make-Up tips!

While at work today I was playing around on youtube and found this video/website of this girl who is amazing at make up! I am totally digging her rocker chick look with the glitter, heck yeah! if only I had a place to wear that kind of make up to...

here is one of her videos



Can I please have all of her make up?! click HERE for more on her website!

just a click of a button

Gotta love being able to surf the internet while at work, this secretary business isn't too bad! ;)

Although I am finding MANY MANY things that I want and of course it's always so stinking pricey. I can't wait till my next day off to check out the D.I, ikea, hobby lobby mmm yes, makes my heart all warm thinking of having our own place to call home and be able to decorate as I like.

I found this while looking around on the net yesterday, can't wait till this arrives!

I love love this shower curtain! Ryan rolled his eyes at this one

but I know he secretly likes it too.

One day I will buy this cute chandelier, I am going to copy

my neighbor and hang this in my bathroom or spruce up the laundry

room with it, I saw a pic on a blog of the cutest laundry

room I have ever seen.

We do not have a bed yet, but I like this one I saw on Ikea's page.

Although we have our bedding thanks to Ryan's family ward :D

It's middle of the month already?!

Holy cow, time is flying by so quickly. Two New Year resloutions down and many to go. I am now working a second job as a secretary a few days a week so that has been exciting to up our budget haha as well as have an excuse to wear heals because I am a flat shoe wearing girl at the hair salon. We also finally found a place to live other than my parents basement. We are hoping to move in slowly over the next couple of weeks and I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to FINALLY pull out wedding gifts and use them, decorate our place and take full advantage of the clubhouse swimming pool and work out room to loose my winter flubber. Mr. O is going to school this semester and still on the job hunt since I cant play sugar mama forever...

After only one week of working 2 jobs, 60 hours this week I am pooped! I salute the doctors,nurses and other professions who are on their feet at crazy hours of the day, those who are students and working, I don't know how you do it, you're all awesome.

I am at work right now as I text this from my phone so dont judge my mispelling or missing letters if there are any. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend and enjoy this next week!

Welcome 2011!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2011

2010 has come and gone and what a year it was! Here are some of the highlights:

*Traveling to Vegas with friends and being on the show "Let's make a deal" ok well more so being in the audience fanatically waving our arms hoping to be picked to win some money

*Getting engaged and having a wonderful night with friends eating good food!

* You just never know what you'll run into on the trax in down town Salt Lake.

* Enjoying being engaged and planning a wedding, my friend Sara was so sweet to take our engagement pictures. We had so much fun, and enjoyed every moment.

* Playing dress ups for an early morning

* Getting married after planning for almost 4 months! Davey and April did a wonderful job from Pointedigital.

* Living in a new state for my first time, enjoying being newlyweds and checking out what Colorado has to offer.

* Cutting our stay in Colorado short by 2 months and coming home and enjoying date nights in Utah again

What a year! Through the good, the bad, the laughs and tears it was quite an adventure. I can't wait for the many more we will have this year.
