Make It and Love It!

While I sit here at work, I browse around the internet for HOURS and yesterday I came upon this little wonder of a blog and I'm absolutely in LOVE with it! It made me think of my sisters and all the super creative things they're constantly doing to their houses and for their kids. Anyway, I thought you'd all like this website. This lady makes ugly things look really really cute for cheap and teaches you how to do it too! She even made a pillow case out of an old sweater. I'm inspired and I decided this summer I'm going to attempt to be crafty and open up my unused sewing machine to make my apartment look the bomb.com! I'm going to reupholster my ugly leather/orange kitchen chairs, possibly paint, and maybe even make some pillow cases. The options are endless and I'm SO excited!! Hope you enjoy it!

Stake Conference

Last Sunday our stake had Elder Ballard come as a visiting authority for stake conference. He gave an amazing talk about listening to the promptings of the Spirit and said a lot of other things that really touched me and made me feel like there are so many things I can do to improve my life. I'm so grateful for the gospel in my life and I'm thankful that we had the opportunity to go!

I LOVE MY HUSBAND!!!

Last night as I was sitting at my desk at good ol' Murdock Hyundai, I looked out on the lot and thought I saw my husbands car driving through. I looked again and it was gone so I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, after I got off work, I unlocked the door, put my backpack in the back seat and noticed something in the passenger seat. I opened my door and there was a super cute skirt and top laying on the seat. I was so excited! What a sneaky boy! I had to go up to campus after work to study for a big test I had today and was sad I couldn't go right home to thank him. It was definitely a surprise and very sweet.

But WAIT! There's more! I got home from classes today and started throwing stuff in the crock pot for pulled port sandwiches. When Mike got home a little later, he told me that we should eat the pulled pork tomorrow. I didn't know why for a second, but then I thought, great, I must have ruined a surprise. He told me he was taking me to Cafe' Sabor tonight for dinner with some good friends (Issac and Lauren). I felt so bad, but amazed that he just had all these little surprises up his sleeves. He had another one waiting for me at work. I got to work today and what was sitting on my desk, but a lovely vase of beautiful red flowers. Once again, I was indeed surprised. I don't mean to make is sound like I'm only happy when my husband buys me things. I promise I love him for a whole list of things! I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be married to my best friend and to be with him forever!
