The Little Things

I finally have a night just to relax and get things done that I've wanted to do. And when I say things, I mean update my blog and upload wedding videos! I hope the wedding videos are uploading at this time, I don't really know what I'm doing. I just searched it on youtube so we'll see if it helps! HA.

Today has been a good day. Not great, but good. And I don't say that to sound like I'm sad or anything, nothing has happened today to make it absolutely amazing. But it has been a good day and I'm so happy. This morning was nice. Shawn and I both got to sleep in before I went to work. I love my job. But on a Saturday morning, not so much. Its so hard to get out of bed when my husband is so snuggly and cute while he sleeps. I could lay there all day! So after laying there til 10am and having to be at work by 11 I finally got out of bed to get ready. While I was getting ready, my sweetheart went to McDonalds to get us breakfast because for some reason that just sounded good no matter how gross some of you may think it is! And then when he came home, he went straight to the bedroom to make the bed.

It's the little things that he does that makes me so happy!

Before work we cuddled on the couch for a couple minutes til I was pushin' it to be at work on time!
Lucky for me, work flew by! When I got there, the salon was super busy with people waiting and that makes work go by so fast. While I was at work, Shawn informed me that he was going skateboarding with his friends. And for some reason I thought that was the hottest thing ever. I've always thought it was so sexy that he skates.

And how about how much he loves me? I love getting sweet texts while I'm so busy at work. And when I get the chance to look at my phone it's blown up with texts from him.

When I got off at 4, we got home about the same time and again cuddle up close on the couch watching Gossip Girl before he went to the Jazz game with his buddy from his mission. So now I have the house to myself. And Gossip Girl playing over and over again. Lazy weekends are so nice sometimes :)

 Last night we had so much fun. We were going to go to Soldier Hollow with our friends to go tubing but that didn't happen. Instead we went to their house for game night. We played this game til 11:30pm! haha And that's late for all of us. But it was a blast. We are so lucky to have the friends that we have. Best Friends.

Well, looks like I can't figure out how to download these wedding videos so I'll just have Shawn do it later :)

Sweet Dreams World

I really wish I had more to blog about but sadly, I don't. Our lives are at a standstill right now. Nothing crazy going on, no big news, and honestly nothing really to write about and that's probably why I haven't been writing much. Shawn just started school again and my schedule with work is crazy. Our schedules this past week have been insane to the point where the time we spent together was laying in bed talking about our day because we were so tired. And by talking I mean saying ''it was good'' and dozing off. I HATE IT. But luckily I had yesterday off so we spent the whole day together. Well most of the day. Shawn and I went to the car show which we do every year. It's fun to pretend we'll be super rich one day and have all these dream cars in mind.

And then after the car show I did something super crazy and super spontaneous which is so not like me.

For two years now I have wanted permanent make up so bad. Unfortunately, I was born with super blonde eyebrows and blonde hair and as a woman, we always want what we don't have. Reason why I have dark hair and fill my brows in every day so they are darker! So a couple days ago, I sent my friend a message asking her who did her eyebrows and within an hour she texted me telling me her lady needed someone as a model for a class in SANDY (aka where the car show was) so of course I jumped right on that! Since we were already out there why not get permanent make up? I mean that's normal right?! HA! Well, it was more than worth it. Very painful, but worth it. And now its just a matter of taking care of them for a week. (blood, vasaline, medicine, washing them) So they look pretty gross right now and swollen and like someone took a permanent marker and drew them on. BUT in a week they will look fabulous! I will be sure to post a picture when they look um normal!

Other than that, I really wish I had more to tell you! Shawn and I are more in love than ever and it gets better every day. Even though we hate our schedules, at night we come home, cuddle up on the couch and watch Gossip Girl. The days are hard. Not seeing my husband until 9 o'clock at night is rough but its the best part of my whole day. There is nothing I look forward to more than being with my babe.

Now its a Sunday night and I'm sitting here watching Gossip Girl and my husband is sitting next to me reading his book. The house is spotless, the laundry is done, and I'm thrilled that it's almost time for bed. Isn't it funny as kids we hated bed time but as adults it's the best part of the day? I love sleeping! I have friends that stay up with their husbands til like 2 am but I'm sorry husband if you are reading this as much as I would love to do that with you and laugh all night and make cookies, we also have jobs and bed time is my favorite, cuddling up next to you.

But don't worry, there are times where we stay up late and do things that makes us feel like we are 21 and married not 40! HA!!

Sweet Dreams!

New Year, New You.

I guess it's my turn to write a post most bloggers are writing this week. Maybe people will read it, maybe people wont. But 2013 was a great year for me. It was the year I was waiting for since I graduated high school.

//2013 in Review//

January// The month of emotions. Shawn came home from his mission in Chile and it was the day I was waiting for since 2011. I can't even explain the emotions I felt that day and throughout that month but it was a feeling that I wish everyone could feel. The night before he came home, I had a sleepover with my best friend Holly, and we stayed up all night laughing and imagining what the airport was going to be like. When we got to the airport, it felt longer than the 2 years waiting for him to come down that freakin' escalator! But when I saw him for the first time, it was like he never left. The rest of the month we spent every day together. I finally got my best friend back.




February// This was the month I got engaged to my missionary. It was such a perfect day as we 'walked down memory lane' on all the dates he took me on leading up to the big question. (which wasn't really a big question, he knew the answer). And it's my birthday month, so that was great having him home for.




March// My brother got his mission call to the Netherlands. Me and Shawn went on our first vacation together to the romantic place called St George. HA! But really it was so fun. 



April// A whole lot of wedding planning. Easter with a FIANCE. 



May// Shawns birthday month. I loved spoiling him and doing stuff together rather than him being in Chile and hoping his package would get to him. And we did our engagements this month. So that was fun.Oh and so much wedding planning.






June// The month of bridal showers, more wedding planning, going through the temple, and GETTING MARRIED. This was the best month of the whole year. I married my best best best friend and it was the most perfect day.






July// HONEYMOON IN DISNEYLAND. Some say worst idea ever, I say best idea ever. We had a blast. And my brother left for his mission.



August// Living together. So much fun. It's like a sleepover with my best friend every night. Camping. Back to school.



September// Footsteps to Fertility 5k for my aunt. Enjoying the married life of course.




October// Halloween with my hubby. Harry Potter murder mystery party. 
 




November// Another amazing week in Disneyland. This time with my husband AND family. First Thanksgiving with Shawn back from the mission and as my husband. A wonderful month. We did some black friday shopping too, which we'll never do again.




December// My second favorite month of the whole year. I love Christmas and it was so special to spend it with Shawn and our families. From decorating our house, to ending the year together everything was perfect. And I spent almost every day with my best friend Holly so that was awesome too. I also graduated school and landed my first job in a salon which I LOVE.




2013 was one of the best, if not the best, year of my life. 

2014// A baby. Just kidding! I am so excited to see what this year is going to bring us. I have so many goals for the year. And I hate saying goals, because I beat myself up when I don't meet them. So I am going to make sure they happen this year! Last year was incredible and I'm going to make this year even better. 

-Get the body of my dreams and get healthy.
-Read the Book of Mormon.
-Visit all the temples in Utah.
-Go somewhere tropical.
-Become a better wife.
-Be a better friend and sibling.
-Grow in my career.

                 Started the new year right. Movie and lunch with my hubbs. I love him so much!
