Shoes!!!

If you know me at all you know that I love shoes.  I have way too many of them, but it doesn't matter because I want more.  I have been way into gladiator shoes lately, they are so comfy and cute how could you not love them.

Here is my wish list (because I know you were wondering!)

Quilting!!

I have been quilting a lot lately.  It is so much fun.  I really enjoy it.  I made one for my new adorable nephew, Canyon, he is such a doll.  I need to take the pictures off my camera so I can post them.  Hopefully soon!! Here is the last quilt I made though.  I made this one for a good friend.  She had an adorable little girl, Cadence. 

*L*O*V*E*

I Love

Mike (I love this pic "what do you want?")

•  He is the best husband ever

• Treats me like a queen
• Partner in crime
• Love of my life
• We always have fun

 

I Love

 

 

gallon size ziploc bags.  They are so awesome.

• Storing leftovers (and you don't have to wash them!!)
• Great for storing craft projects
• Works better than saran wrap (ie. plates of cookies)
• Keeping fabric organized for projects

I Love

My mom

• It is great how close she lives
• I can call anytime for a recipe or instructions for anything
• We always get to go to lunch
• She is a sharp dresser (great for hand-me-downs)
• Loves me no matter what

I Love

My sewing maching and serger

• Always great for a project
• Works great
• I love how easy they are to operate

I love

The spring

• It always puts me in a good mood
• I thank God for this beautiful earth he has given us
• The end of winter (finally!)

Baby Shower

On Saturday we had a baby shower at my house. It was fun getting everything ready, I love planning and being at these kind of events. I am totally a sucker for them!!! I think it turned out great, the decorations were way cute (great ideas Ronda).

I know that you can't really see it. This is the only picture I got. I made the banner in the corner with adorable pink, green, and yellow fabric and I sewed them on a burlap ribbon. It turned out cute if I say so myself. I got the idea from here. I didn't follow the tutorial but I am sure it would have been helpful, then trying to figure it out by myself.

We decided on a cookies and milk theme. I found the idea here. I thought it was adorable. Plus you aren't making a ton of food. We stored the cookies in glass jars lined with paper.

The jars were labeled, and had bows tied around them. As one of the favors we had bags so they could take cookies home.

We served milk, chocolate milk, and juice. My mother in law had those cute jugs to serve the milk in. I thought it turned out great.

Congratulations to Heather and good luck at the end of April. We are excited to meet little Cadence.

Temple Bag

Megan is going through the temple tomorrow!!! I am so excited for her. I know, that if you are ready, the Temple is a wonderful experience. So for her birthday I decided to make her a garment bag for her temple clothes. My mother-in-law gave me one before I went through and I love how convenient it is. It is easy to just throw everything in and go. I tried to copy mine as a pattern. I am so happy how it turned out.You can hang your dress on a hanger to keep it nice. I personally like this better than shoving my dress in a bag. It also has pockets on front so you can put your shoes and other necessities. I think my favorite part is that it folds up into a bag.

I really hope she likes it. It was fun to make, though. (by the way zippers are hard to put in!!)

Bread

I have a new passion, making bread!!! MMMMMMMM I love fresh baked bread. For Young Women's last night we learned how to make fool proof bread in an hour. It was fantastic!! There are a million and one things you can do with this bread. My goal is to start being better at making dinner. Poor Mike has to live with a wife that doesn't cook very often. So the next step is to make a trip to the store to get the things I need.

I have been way busy lately (which I love). Young Women's has been busy. I have made some fun things lately though. I will have to take some pictures to post. I have decided I need to be better at actually finishing the projects that I started. Well, so many desires, so little time!!

Forever

Well it has definitely been forever since I have posted anything. A lot has happened recently. They totally remodeled the front office where I work. It is kind of fun to have a change of any sort at work. Everything had gotten monotonous lately, it is sad when you are thrilled for a new desk but those are just the facts of it.

I also received a new calling in our ward. They called me to be the 2nd counselor in the Young Women's presidency. I am really excited to be a little more involved. If you didn't know I was the Mia Maid advisor before this. So I just showed up and did what I was told (which can be really nice) I am nervous to work with the Beehives, I have always worked with the Mia Maids or the Laurels, but I know it will be fun! I am also really excited to work with the new president. She is such an inspiration to me!!

About month ago I got called to be an ordinance worker in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Mike has been working there since they opened, but I just got called. I absolutely love it. It is fun because since it is a small temple you get to rotate through everything. I love getting the chance to serve every Saturday morning. I have definitely felt a change in my life because of this. I feel great about my situation in life, since starting at the Temple.

I am really excited for all these new changes. I am the kind of person who enjoys change (most of it anyway).
