Lucky Number 7 and 2 amazing years

Today is day number 7 of my little project! Yay!

I just got back from my evening walk/run. It was still hot out and I am now drenched in sweat. Gross.

I call this tree and light pole



ON a much better note...
Today is Colby and I's two year anniversary. It's unbelievable to me really that I have been married that long. It feels like just yesterday!
I learn something new about him everyday and love him oh so much! He is my world and I am so grateful for everything he does for me!
 Happy TWO years Colby!

Day 6 and an afternoon in the Backyard

well... more like 30 minutes.

I went outside to stop kazzi from digging, which he continued to do anyways, and I saw this ginormous mushroom! We do have a lot of mushrooms growing in the backyard but mostly the smaller ones, this one trumped them all!
Anyways, so I decided to just take a couple pictures of the backyard. It is an interesting place.

Day 5

A little late but as you can see by the picture I was a little overwhelmed with the laundry yesterday...

A couple of things...

Does anyone watch Design Star on HGTV? This season was my first of watching this show and I loved it! Well the other day I found the design blog of the winner Emily Henderson! It's called The Brass Petal and it is simply lovely! She was raised Mormon but no longer follows. She did a comical post though about why there are so many Mormon Blogs, and especially Design Blogs. Anyway I love her style. I am so ready to decorate my house. However... it's not there yet...

Speaking of that. I just wanted to let you know that there is only one... ONE.... completed room in our entire house. Can anyone take a guess what room that could be?
The 2nd bathroom.
Here's a secret.
I like to go in there and just sit because it is the nicest room in the house. Okay.. maybe not for a long time but when all the other rooms are half done..half painted.. half floored (that will get finished...ONE DAY!)  half unpacked... it's nice to use a room that isnt halfed.

Everytime Colby goes back to the Condo to change the air filter or something for our tenant he always calls me and says wow.. our condo was like some luxury place. Everything is so nice and new and (finished) and clean! (Our house is clean too... just the paint on the walls makes it feel dirty or something. It will feel like nice too once we are done with it  hahah.. )

Today is laundry day. As of right now It doesnt look like much else is going to get accomplished.
 Maybe if my laundry room looked like this

I would be more inclined to take care of what now looks  feels like this

*minus there is not cute baby in my pile of laundry. Just dogs that drag it around the house. *


Happy Saturday!

Day 4

After a long day I love to come home and just cuddle with the dogs. Mainly Kazzi because Krone prefers the floor or the top of the couch. However anytime I sit down I know Kazzi will be in my lap or right next to me within a minute. I love having such a little lap dog!

Here he is giving me kisses. the little stinker.

Dear Self...

Dear Self,

       Do NOT hold the alarm in your hand after you have pressed the snooze button. You will continue to press the snooze until it is 7:20.
    Yes, You have to leave at 7:40. This doesn't leave much time for all of the getting ready, lunch packing, dog herding, and clothes finding you have to do.

      Also, please make sure you double check that you are wearing matching shoes. Hopefully noticed last night as you walked around with a Brown flip flop and a Black flip flop....
Not to mention they were different sizes...

Your embarrassed self,

J

Day 3

Today was busy! After work the missionaries came for dinner instead of the usual 2 there were 4 of them. I made enchiladas and a new mexican rice recipe i found on Plain Chicken. Dinner was delicious!
I then made chocolate chip cookies and burnt half of them... oh well less for me to eat! :)

Anyone have any tricks on not burning baked goods in a gas oven? Its completely different than our old electric one. I cant seem to get it just right.

Colby and I headed to Garden Ridge got a mirror for our half bath! YAY! and then went to see The Switch!
I thought it was really cute! Maybe not worth $16 cute but still good.

Here is my Day 3 picture.
Colby at the Dollar Store (Our most frequented store...sadly)

He always take the best pictures!
