Finished!

Yeah! I finally finished my own project. It is very amature, but it I feel like a pro because it was hard for me. My mom gave me an old sewing machine (super old!) that works very nicely for my basic sewing needs, and viola! here it is...

(P.S. there's our new ottomen)

I guess what moved me to finally finish this was that I got a job at 24 hour fitness, so I wanted to do it before I got busy. Don't worry I already gave myself a pat on the back ; )

So funny

I guess BYU-Idaho loves my husbands face(who wouldn't; )! He has been on the website twice and in the alumni magazine. I just think its so funny, but if you're interested here is the link:

Scotters

I can't believe this guy is leaving for his mission in four days! He's the baby of the family and he's the last on both sides of our family to go. Scott is such an awesome young man and I can't wait for him to go on his mission and gain such amazing life changing experiences. We will miss you, love you scotty!

December 30th

Caution: this is a little sappy and gushy, and not intended for to make people feel like they have to leave a comment about it, it is just me feeling the writting powers ooze out of me about my husband and three years.

Well it all started with me hating the fact that BYU-Idaho was the only school that accepted me. I really didn’t want to go! And it all started with someone saying that hey if that’s the only one that let you in then you’re ment to meet someone there. Boy, were they right! I first saw Greg in the library and I thought to myself and my roommate Ashley that I wish a guy like that would ask me out! Low and behold he came to my apartment that night as a wing man. I don’t want to sound sappy and ridiculous, but when we went on our first date I knew he was going to be in my life. I used to think it must be impossible to find the one person you’re going to spend eternity with. Now that I have found him I count my lucky stars, or blessings. And I love the country song “I thought I loved you then” especially the part where he says “How can I love you more, but I’ve said that before”. So incredibly true, and exactly how I feel. Happy Anniversary Greg.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so fun up in the Bay Area with the fam. We had a great time and lots of great food. Here's a peek.

I love these kiddos, can't get enough of them!

He's a natural ; )

It was so exciting to find out where my little brother is going on his mission. I can't believe he's going, it was just yesterday that we learned to play our first computer game. Anyway Pittsburg watch out for Scott, Scotty, Treps. Love ya Scott I know you'll do good!

Pillow Project

So I am not very sewing savy but I'm halfway through this project and I'm very excited about it.

Here is a preview. I still don't know how I want to arrange them on the pillow, but if anyone has any ideas pass them along.

I either want to do a square or cirrcular pattern. Anyways this is my little project, its fun and even I can do it!

Fall is in The Air!

Fall

I love the fall, and even though the weather is always sunny down here you can still feel the slight changes that reflect the season.
Some resaons why I love the fall are:
I get to light apple and spice candles, I bake more, I read more and do crafty things, and I get to see Family!

In fact Greg's Parent's came into town Conference weekend and we gave them the grand tour of Irvine, (mostly we played tennis and ate, two things I love). We had such A great time, the beach was beautiful, and they are so sweet. Jayne even got me started on the project I'm undertaking. I going to make some pillows for my couch finally. I got this very cute idea from my sister-by -love Ashley. She's doing a quilt of these yoyo things (I don't know exaclty what to call them) and I loved it so I thought I would try a pillow since I have no skills in sewing department.
anyways I'll post pictures of it when I'm done. Anywawys thanks Ashley for teaching me how to do it and thanks Jayne for giving me the jump start.


Good shot for taking it ourselves! Here is the Beautiful Newport beach
