happy

I come to you today with a happy heart. Happy that life is full of struggles. Happy that there is hope. Happy for the Savior's Love and Atonement. Happy that it is Thanksgiving this week. Happy there are sunny days amidst the snowy days. Happy there are choices. Happy there are friends in this life. Happy that we don't have to go through life alone. Happy to be me.

On Saturday Lauren, David and Maelie Dominguez came to Rexburg to visit. They were living in Oklahoma for an internship. I had lunch with them and some other friends while Kent was at work on Saturday. After lunch, we went to surprise him at Radio Shack! He was definitely surprised.

Kent and I saw the Hunger Games part 1 on Saturday as well. We listened to the book on tape, but the movie was still stressful because they ended it so abruptly. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait another year to see the rest.

Happy Monday my Friends.

Highlights from the week

Transformation Tuesday!

I love these transformation posts, because it usually means moving on from the old and getting something good! Like my man's sweet kisses back!

I personally did not like the beard. He had never grown a thick one before, but on Sunday I decided it was time for it to go. He wasn't too thrilled at first, but he will admit now he likes it. He says his face feels clean again! It was getting to the point of getting food stuck in it.

I love my man's smooth face now.

farmers market memories

Look at us at the Farmer's Market! This was taken September 2014. It is a must each year to buy some crazy corn and now - a mango fruit drink! So delicious.

I walk/bike down this street every week day and now it's covered in snow :(

Update on how many weeks left - 4.5 WEEKS!
Does that make you happy or what?!

Have a great Monday!

BYU-Idaho Dollar Prank!

For my content creation class, we need to create a video and track the analytics. Here is our video! We got all these fabulous people to try to help James pick up his dollar in one hour! It was a fun break from homework and work. Kent actually helped me edit it and only include the best clips. Such a helpful hubby. 

Please, please, PLEASE, watch a lot of times (or just click the refresh button - that counts as a view... haha), share this with friends on Facebook, twitter, or whatever to help us get the most views we can! Our goal is 1,000 views by December 10th.

Transformation Tuesday

Hi again! 

On this Tuesday morning I'm bringing you a Transformation post!!

Our home was kind of looking like a disaster, so Kent and I found some time to re-arrange (the secret to deep cleaning). Once we have a new arrangement, I can't help myself but clean and clean some more.

The only problem is, I don't have a before photo - so you can't see the true transformation, but trust me it's better :)

Halloween Lunch '94

I don't know why, but this picture cracks me up for some reason. That face! haha 

Also 101 Dalmatians Shirt = 100+ cool points for me.

You know, better yet I should be re-creating these masterpieces! Maybe I will do that one day. 

11-5-14 update:

So lately I have been very stressed! I just seem to have so many project and assignments that are hard to keep track of. I keep looking at the calendar and counting to myself, "Only 6 more weeks until graduation.. and one of those weeks is Thanksgiving" or "Only 29 more week-days of school" or "Only 6 more Sundays"... which is the same as 6 more weeks... I'm pathetic. haha

But that is my life! I don't know how else to explain my stress with you. 

Tomorrow I meet with an advisor to probably quadruple check I'm graduating. 

So worried that graduation is all a dream and that it doesn't actually happen... hopefully it does!

wednesday!

Saturday Morning Breakfast

Making little videos is something I LOVE doing since I have a DSLR that does video. (Love that Canon 6D). For this video, we spent the morning walking to the donut shop to purchase two old fashion donuts and a maple bar. Worth the walk! ha. Then we went home and ate them. Love that funny man of mine.

Halloween Photos

My family has a thing for Halloween. Growing up we would dress up together every halloween. Last year I did a party. This year my sister did a party! She lives in this cool + creepy warehouse = which is perfect for a scary party! It was fun to just spend an evening together with friends, games and food. 

Kent had to work at Radio Shack and so I went solo as a cat. I wish I would've taken a picture of Claire + her husband. They were Marry Poppins and Bert! I guess they are in the group photo at the end :)

Hope your Halloween was spooky!

such concentration

Thanks Claire!
