I can't decide if I love it. I do love that it only takes me about 15 minuets to do it and 10 of those are waiting for the flat iron to heat up.</div>

Finally after a move and a semester of school I present to you the desk. It took a fair amount of time detailing the drawers of this beauty, and a special thanks needs to go to my husband for helping me move it out side and in and for letting me paint it exactly as I want. (You are wonderful).<br />
<br />
So here it is before<br />

Now I just need the weather to heat up so I can finish painting the dresser. It is moments like these that make me want to live in Arizona when Brett is done with school.</div>

Are there any projects you are going to be working on when the weather gets better?</div>

Their was a guy in the candle section of a store picking out candles and candle holders for a special occasion You could tell he hadn't done this before. It was so sweet of him to want to do something special for his sweet heart.<br />
<br />
I am not that great at preparing for holidays (at least not at this time), so this Valentines we are keeping it simple wich includes gifts. We don't really give gifts on valentines day. We give treats. Hubby is getting his favorite Doritos and Sobe drink. Thankfully pinterest has ways to cuteify these treats.<br />
<br />
Here is what I found<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/192x/53/46/8e/53468e5bac31fa063fd237db86e104e1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/192x/53/46/8e/53468e5bac31fa063fd237db86e104e1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">There is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/58252896/all-that-and-a-bag-of-chips-letterpress?ref=correlated_featured" target="_blank">a person on Etsy</a> that makes these cards </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(but I am making my own)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I am so excited to give this to him. He has no idea and I have never manage to come up with a gift that I don't feel like I should double check with him before I buy it. What is he doing for Valentines day? Well, I had a craving for Olive Garden the other week so he made us a reservation. This makes me happy because it means he pays attention to what I say and actually remembers sometimes! That makes me feel loved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have a happy Valentine's Day.</div>

I couldn't find a good picture of a yellow crib so the dresser is representing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What dear sister do you think? Did I interpret what you were trying to tell me correctly?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Something I thought you might like is to have the crib look worn. Like this dresser (created and photographed by the talented <a href="http://missmustardseed.com/" target="_blank">Miss Mustard Seed</a>), but in yellow. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1/5 lb. Ground beef<br />
1/4 c. Chopped Onion<br />
1 1/2 c. Water<br />
1 can (16 oz.)Kidney beans<br />
1 can (16 oz.) Stewed Tomatoes<br />
1 can (8 oz) Tomato Sauce<br />
2 Tbs. Taco Seasoning<br />
1 Small Avocado (optional)<br />
Grated Chedar Cheese<br />
Corn Chips<br />
Sour Cream (you can substitute plain yogurt)<br />
<br />
What you do:<br />
Brown ground beef. Drain off the fat. Add the water, tomatoes, beans, tomato sauce, onion and taco seasoning. Cover it and let it simmer for 15 minuets. Put it in your individual bowl and top it off with cheese, corn chips, sour cream and avocado.<br />
<br />
I have the ground beef pre cooked and frozen so I just take out a bag and defrost it in the microwave before adding it in. This saves me a ton of same day cooking time.<br />
<br />
This recipe is very yummy and filling. Plus it makes left overs and is easy to double if your family eats allot. Most importantly both me and my husband like it.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend,<br />

Brett and I got to watch this princess for a bit. I loved it. Not just because she is cute and very well behaved, but because I loved watching Brett talke to her and help her to be happy when she got board. He completely ate her up. It was so cute. Every time I see these pictures it makes me happy. Brett is so great with kids, especially babies. It was a great glimpse into what he will be like when we are blessed with kids of our own. He will be awesome and I love him all the more for it. Oh my favorite picture is the last one.</div>

These are them that I lovingly call my Texas parents. They are the ones that Super S and Miss E belong to. When they came to visit we snapped a few photos. Amongst them were these. There are allot and I am hoping that the resolution via the blog will be good enough for my mom to download them and print them.<br />

I love them very much. They have taught me many things (all of which I needed to know) and even survived my teenaged years.<br />

I absolutely love having her around. She is one of those people that motivate you from example to be better. I am so glad she is part of my life. She also LOVES to organize. She says it is a challenge and if you have seen all the things I have in my house you would agree. Yesterday we spent most of the day cleaning and organizing. She is FAST. We got the bathroom and all but the dishes done in the kitchen.<br />

You see that there? Its a floor!<br />
<br />
Then today I came home and found that my living room had been finished and the dishes all done. There are still a few boxes that need my attention, but it is wonderful. You can actually sit on the couch and see the surface of the desk! She is AMAZING in so many ways and honestly just made my life ten times better and more functional.<br />

Every now and then Brett and I will high tail it up there to escape from the world and occasionally venture into Salt Lake. Our last excursion was for our Anniversary/Back to School trip.<br />

We also made it to Salt Lake and most importantly the Cheesecake Factory. There we indulged ourselves in really good food that included a delicious slice of mango coconut cheese cake. Sigh, it was so yummy. I died and went to tropical paradise. This is Brett candid, or perhaps it was his reaction to my eating the cheesecake.<br />

Quick photo list of things that Brett and I like. All of these picture were taken in the model home we feel in love with. I should have brought my camera with me when I went with Brett. There were so many more things I could have taken pictures of.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

6. Window seats, especially when they are on the landing half way up the stairs and come with shelves.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

9. Brett LOVES this master bedroom. He loves the colors and how it feels clean. I like it too. The patterns of the curtains and the bed spread especially.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
10. A master retreat. While not a requirement it would be nice to have for stay-in dates when their is no babysitter to be had.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He is sort of right. I like the blank canvas it creates. You get to start new. There are no expectations. You can change anything you want about yourself without anyone knowing that you were ever different. There has never be a map of what your life looks like in this place and you get to create it. You can decided in your new place that the people their work out in the morning and go to bed before 10:30. There can be meal plans here. The people here are more conservative with their money and use their time wisely. This is what it looks like folks. They even stick to the schedule.<br />
<br />
Moving also gives you a blank canvas to decorate. Mine is all empty and full of potential in these shots.<br />

It isn't empty any more. We have furniture everywhere. Some put in permanent places and other waiting to be moved to their new spot. There are boxes full of things that will add personality to our place and I'm just a bit excited about getting it all done.<br />
<br />
<br />
Talk to you later,<br />

We got our new keys on Saturday and handed over our old ones on Wednesday. Can I just say that I am tired. Exhausted is probably more accurate. I just realized that Wednesday was only yesterday. With everything that we have been doing the days have become weeks that still seem to fly bye. Only we mustn't be getting the appropriate amount of sleep in there.<br />
<br />
I am happy though. The new apartment will be good for us. It is still close to school and is about the same size as our other one. Brett does lament that the living room isn't as big, but we don't keep the eating table in there anymore so it might as well be the same size. I'll upload pictures when we get our internet working properly.<br />
<br />
School Starts next week. I am taking Portuguese, art history and two religion/seminary classes. In total it will be 11 credits. I have never taken 11 credits before and I haven't taken a hard class (like Portuguese) in a long time. I'm a little worried that my brain muscles have deteriorated. At least Brett will be able to help me with it.<br />
<br />
In other news, my cousin Kourtney is staying with me at the moment. She is marrying a guy that is attending school up here and therefore is moving up. I am so excited to have her here. We are going to do all sorts of fun things together. I just have to wait until she has made it out of the stress of wedding planning mode. I haven't met her guy yet, but she loves him and he brought her closer to me and therefor I like him.<br />
<br />

Bye for now,<br />

It is important to have dream, or goals that you are shooting for. It is also important to understand what your husband is dreaming of when he dreams about a nice home. So I took Brett on a date to see some model homes. This is the one we loved (as in we really really want to live there) the most.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images.mcarthurhomes.com/VT/imgs/cordova/pics/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images.mcarthurhomes.com/VT/imgs/cordova/pics/1.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We want the study loft that conveniently comes with a master retreat. That way we can hide from the kids when they are teenagers. :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images.mcarthurhomes.com/VT/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://images.mcarthurhomes.com/VT/imgs/cordova/4.jpg&w=400" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images.mcarthurhomes.com/VT/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://images.mcarthurhomes.com/VT/imgs/cordova/4.jpg&w=400" width="266" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then there is the basement. We figure we would just have them frame the basement and add the tub. Then we could add the rest of the things in ourself over time. Oddly enough Brett likes this idea because it will give him a project that he will get to do for our home. Perhaps he will also want to take up a gardening project one day. ;-)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We know that this dream is years away (as in 2020ish), but it is good to have something that you are shooting for and it is a good motivator for penny pinching. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What is your motivation for penny pinching?</div>

<br />
We have 13 days until the big moving day (the one where we rent the u-hall, find every friend with working muscles and bribe them with pizza).<br />
<br />
Here is my game plan (some of which has already been started).<br />
<br />
Get through the last week summer term.<br />
Pack 3 boxes a day until it is all done.<br />
Buy packing paper to wrap dishes (where does one buy that)<br />
Live off of ramen so there is no post meal clean up.<br />
<br />
I can do all of that.<br />
<br />
<br />
If anyone has any packing or deep cleaning tips please let me know.<br />
<br />

It is very unlike me. However I don't a group of men that will be coming to pack up all my stuff this time so I figure it is a good thing that I have actually packed up a box or two a month before we get the the key to the apartment. Now If only I will keep packing. Thankfully my grandma is letting us keep the boxes in her storage shed until we our apartment is vacant. That way we don't have to live in a home full of boxes.<br />
<br />
What else is going on in my world? Well I went out to eat with Vanessa last week. We went to Costa Vida. I got a yummy pork salad and she got a beef burrito.<br />

Both were good. My pork salad wasn't as good as Cafe Rio but it was a close second, especially since they have a location at my college campus.<br />
<br />
Brett has been taking me out on more and more dates lately. He is extra encouraged because we have starving student cards that ought to be used. I need to take pictures of those outings too.<br />
<br />
Lots of Love,<br />

Sorry I don't have a pic. I will have to take some when the current residents move out. I am really excited though. The master bedroom is bigger then our current place so our king sized bed won't look massive like it does now. <br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> I can't wait until we move, but I will have to because we don't move in until the 18th of August. The delay in moving is really a blessing for a few reasons though. One being that I have girls camp in 2 weeks and three being that my parents are coming in 3. Both of which I am thrilled for and am glad that I don't have to stress about packing just yet.</span><br />

We are most likely moving (again) but if I can paint than it is no big deal right? Minus the fact that I am in school this semester, going to girls camp and my parents are coming at the end of the month (all three of which I am very happy are happening). Yah, no big deal. At least the place will be pretty.....eventually. Here are some of my inspiration ideas for the new place. I found it <a href="http://www.shopsocietysocial.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. Now I have to find the place I am going to create it all in. Wish me luck.</div>

You tweak something here, then you tweak something there until you get it just the way you like it. It is an ongoing process so that just like you, your home changes over time. Hopefully you like where you both end up.<br />
<br />
Here are two decorating tweaks I did recently.<br />
<br />
I tweaked the shoe storage basket by the front door. It went from this<br />

Do they look familiar? They should. I liked them so much that I wanted to see them more often then I would if they were left in the guest/study (oh who am I kidding, craft) room. So I brought them out here into a room where not only I, but everyone who enters my home can see.<br />
I also fixed the problem we have with shoes in our family. For two people we normally have about six pairs of shoes by our front door. This is it on a good day.<br />

All the same, the extra BIG microwave and toaster oven made quick work of claiming it all for themselves. So now I have hidden them in the pantry where they don't over run the work surface of my kitchen.<br />
<br />
Here are some before and afters.<br />
