sunday best

I dragged my husband out into the cold to take some photos of me yesterday after church. This means we've got a new fashion post! Excuse the sloppy top bun, and my white legs. It has been a while since those babies have seen some sunlight.

John and I live in a house in lovely Rexburg. Well actually we live in the basement of a house, and above us live a few single girls. The other day I was home alone, trying to take a nap before I started on some much needed homework, and I heard the strangest noises coming from upstairs. It was either creaky floors, or a squeaky bed. The noise was so consistent. Just repetitive squeaking. I know this is terrible of me to assume, but I most definitely thought that a little something was going on between a girl, a boy, and a very squeaky bed. Eventually the noises stopped, and I forgot all about it. A few days later I heard the same noises and got my suspicions again. The noises continued throughout the week, and finally, one day when it started up again, I went outside and started peeking through the windows. My findings were definitely NOT what I predicted. Just a girl, facing her TV, exercising; p90x to be exact. I felt relieved and embarrassed all in one.

The latest movie John and I watched together was Here Comes the Boom. If you're a Kevin James fan, you will definitely love this one. We got some good laughs through it, and it has some good messages as well. Redbox it yo!

my sappy weekend recap!

This is my brag post about my weekend and I hope you enjoy!

First of all, I celebrate my birthday on the day that everybody expresses their love. That's right, Valentine's day. I haven't ever been the biggest fan of that. Being married was leaps and bounds better than before though! I had to go run a few errands and when I came home,  John gave me these lovely red roses. I'm a sucker for flowers and these are just beautiful. I am so in love with my husband and every day I fall more and more in love with him.

After hours of homework, I was getting ready for our date night and this lovely necklace arrived for me. I won it in a giveaway from Billy Beads. Isn't it gorgeous?  Well I wore it to dinner, and school the next day, and church today. Can you tell I like it?

We stuffed our faces at Texas Roadhouse, ordered way too much food, and have been eating leftovers for days. We planned to see the new Nicholas Sparks movie, Safe Haven after eating, but we seriously ate enough food to put us to sleep. However, we did go see it last night and I bawled like a baby. I am a big sucker for those movies. Who doesn't love love right?

Remember these printables I made? Well I didn't get to actually hanging them up, but I definitely displayed them and here's how they turned out! Everyone who has stopped by absolutely loved them, which made me feel very loved.

And here's a photo of me and my chunky niece Savannah. I have the privilege of babysitting her Monday, Wednesday, Friday while my sister is in class and I love it. Tell me she isn't the cutest baby ever.

v-day decor

V-day is approaching and love is in the air. I think it's all sorts of exciting. Sorry for those of you who don't. Well this is my contribution. I designed some prints to hang up in my home to get us in the mood. What do you think?

I just got them printed and bought some frames and later tonight I am going to hang them up! If anybody is interested in getting these printables, just let me know and I am more than willing to share the goods. I'll post pics later of how they look all framed and hung.

happy monday!

Today is a "Ho Hey by the Lumineers" kind of day. I don't know if seeing all the snow this morning put you in a better mood, but it sure did for me. I don't really even like the snow all that much but today I do. I went out to the car to brush it off so I could take John to school and the snow was all the way up to my knees. Seriously. Just a fluffy blanket of snow. 

I wanted to make snow angels and play in it with John (like all cute couples do), but unfortunately, time is of the essence and that is exactly what we are lacking. 

So I put on my chunkiest sweater, black (sparkly) leggings, my tallest boots, and of course a teal scarf for a pop of color because it is a wonderful, snowy day! Unfortunately, they don't give snow days at work but I just know it will go by quick.

This is for my wonderful husband. I cannot even express how grateful I am for him.

John and I are learning that a clean home is a happy home. So this is project "I made the bed!"

Do you like our awesome headboard? Actually it's just a wall with a note to my husband on it. Yes I do cute things like that! Someday we will have an awesome headboard.

Maybe after work and a long night at the library I can work on project "look honey I did the dishes."

Here are some of my favorite moments from last week.

• Celebrating our 5 month anniversary! Big deal I know. John and I went and saw "Parental Guidance" with our awesome friends Jack and Erin! We then enjoyed some delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies and stayed out talking the night away. 
• Watching John get frustrated putting together our new bookshelf. Is it wrong to think it's cute when he's frustrated?
• Getting a calling in our ward! Can't tell what it is yet but details will be soon to come. 
• Staying up late with John, snuggling, and whispering our sweet nothings to each other. I am one lucky girl.

fashion and flowers

My husband scored big time! A few days ago I was stressed out because the house was a mess, laundry needed to be done, and I just couldn't squeeze any of it in between school and work. Oh and John had to break our door down because I locked us out, with the key inside. Smart move right? Well it kind of resulted in a broken door knob. Well, yesterday while I was at work, John played house-husband! He cleaned, did laundry, fixed the door so we didn't have a cold apartment, AND he bought me flowers! You don't realize how much I have been dropping the hint (more like demanding) that I want flowers! I am one lucky girl.

The best part was that he asked me to help him find something under the couch. I went to go lift the couch so he could search underneath, but to my surprise there was a vase of flowers, right between the couch and the wall. He is just full of surprises!

Here's something new! Thanks goes to my sister Michelle for helping me with the photos. I've been into polka dots lately and I hope you like them too.

 Now don't judge when you read where I got these. I am not one to spend $30 on a shirt so I make my ways. It's difficult to find clothes that I love for a low price though but I think target is the solution. They usually have trendy clothes for reasonable prices. Love target!

Peplum, polka-dot top: Target
Black jeggings: Nordstrom Rack
Teal necklace: My Mom's closet... hehe
Boots: Santa Clause brought them to me
(you will probably be seeing a lot of the boots because I love them too much)
