Dinner Attempt

On Wednesday night I tried out a little recipe I found on This Is Vegan. It was really simple to make and we ended up eating all of it! Alfredo! I also made a little side salad with ginger dressing. It was a great dinner.

Heart

I've never felt happier at any time in my life.

OMG NEED

I'm really becoming completely obsessed with nude everything [except my body.. gotta get that work out in] nail polish, shoes, cardigans, sunglasses, dresses... ahh! I can't get enough. and I'm not usually a fan of sling backs/open back shoes but I just gotta have these guys!

RSL

Last night was the Columbus vs Real Salt Lake game. It was the 1st game of the season!!! [finally] This only means there is sunshine, summertime, soccer and bbqs every week in store for us!!

Last weekend...

Friday, I went with Emily to get her first finger tattoo. Its so cute, its just the word BAM. After that, we went to X Wives and had a few drinks with the boys, including my favorite: Matthew Buckway. Then I went home and Trev made tacos! After that, Trev, Jim and I went to the Tattoo Convention, just as it was closing and met up with the guys at his shop. We went over to Nick's hotel room and ordered pizza and then went to James' room for the partay. It was so much fun! I met so many new people and I loved seeing all the friends we rarely get to hangout with. And of course, we got ourselves into some drunk shenanigans.

Saturday, we rolled out of bed and picked up Jim from his house and then went to Ogden to pick up their littles. Jim's daughter Brenna is so adorable and I loved hangin out with her. We went to Shambala and then, took the kids to the museum at the University and they made finger puppets:






That night was the Queen of Hearts thing at Gardner Village. Since there are too many pictures to upload on my blog, I started using my old Flickr account, so look for the set called 'Queen of Hearts' But here is the favorite picture I took of the night:

Then Sunday Victoria and I finally got our bestie/Utah tattoos!! I am so happy with the way it turned out! I forgot how much I hate getting tattooed at the convention and I don't know why I keep doing it! People are always taking pictures of you and watching you and its so creepy!

Happy Valentines Day

This is the first picture that Trev and I ever took together. I didn't know then what he would mean to me now.


Trev you make my heart swell with happiness I've never felt before. I have an indescribable love for you that I can trust, and believe in. I am so glad that I call you mine. Happy Valentines Day, darling.

Valentine with Aiden

Yesterday we had a little Valentines day with Aiden, we woke up and made this breakfast, and we went on a few walks, helped him make his Valentines Box for school, and then we went to my dad's house and had random cake & ice cream. We had a really great day with him and I can't wait to see him again this weekend!!

Breakfast:


Nice walk in the sunshine:
Aiden's awesome Valentine box:

Sparkly shoes!

I spent the day with my bestie Emily yesterday and it was so much fun! We got up and went to get some treats and then to her tattoo appointment at Loyalty Tattoos. Then afterward we went to my house and her house for a bit to get ready, then we went to The Republican. We weren't out at the bar for very long, but I had so much fun hanging out with her.

I want to hangout with my girlfriends more.. I went to dinner with Vic, Kimi and Brandi this week and out with Emily but it's just not enough! I want to go out a bunch more, so ladies.... get to texting! Lets have a partay!

Merging of the Things [picture heavy]

So, as most of you might know, I moved into Trev's apartment about a week ago, and I'm sure you can also imagine I'm still unpacking and getting everything organized. I've got almost everything done, its just the little stuff I've been working on, like deciding what we need/don't need and figuring out what to store in my moms garage until we get a bigger place this summer. But, here is what we have done so far:

The living room: It's so relaxing to be in, there is obvi a lot of seating but we like it because Aiden and Trev both have a couch and my favorite spot in the world is in that chair [I live in it] At the front of the room is our 'entertainment center' which I like to call the "Command Center" Trev has arcade joysticks, a computer, an Xbox, surround sound and a Comcast box all set up to the HDTV, but it still needs a little organizing so... pics soon!

This bookshelf is in the living room, I'd like to say most of the books are my addition.. but alas, I only contributed to the bottom shelves and the DVD collection.


The bedroom: We moved my glorious sleigh bed of clouds in and got all new bedding for it for our birthdays. This bed is a true wonder to sleep in and any of you who have been in it [I.E. Victoria, Bekky, Emily, Buckway] know this. I could not be happier that we agreed to use my bed. And I love the brown, black and blue combo!

This is in the bedroom.. kinda self explanatory, I'm scared to hang more jewelry on it because the walls are soooo fragile I don't want the thing to fall off! Which is why we haven't hung any of our artwork throughout the house.

So, I keep some of the jewelry not hanging on the dresser. Things don't stay this organized, what can I say? I obvi organized it for pics.

The best and worse part of the bed.. Jaxie is a serious bed hog.. and he will only sleep on the left side of the bed, which is, of course my side... so I compromise my space for this little grump.. but I love him so much, who knew I'd ever be friends with a cat? [I still want a dog though]

The Bathroom: When I moved in here, the shower curtain was a neon map of the world, with neon green towels and rugs. I asked Trev if we could redecorate it and he said, "well since the bathroom is really a girl's domain, you can do whatever you want to it" Music to my ears! So my mom and I picked out this shower curtain [trying not to make it super girly] and we got some rugs later on to match. [The towels were in the wash when I took this pic] But everything looks super soft and its a really relaxing bathroom. [If you can't tell already... I like things relaxed, and Trev and I have that in common; thank jeez]


All in all, I am really happy with the decision we made to move in together. I am the happiest I've ever been and I am surprisingly really comfortable sharing space. I think this is going to be a really fun, healthy, amazing experience to share with Trev and I couldn't be more grateful for the luck I fell upon meeting him.... [now to sort out everything else in my life!] More pics of the dining room, Aiden's B.A. room and the Kitchen to come!!!

Capricorn 2-8-2011

If your days have been challenging lately, if your mood has been gloomy and somewhat pessimistic, have faith because all that is about to change for the better. The cosmic forecast for your sign shows that the dark clouds will soon part and the sun will come shining through, with very little chance of conflict or difficulty. Smile, Capricorn. You've been through the worst of the storm. The beginning of this year may not have been the very best for you, but it's all about to become significantly better.

Books & Besties

This is the current Books & Besties book [book club] We were going to go for a lovey/romantic theme for February, but decided on this one because the movie releases in march. I'm excited to get into it, and with all this unpacking almost done, I have time to jump in.
