Day 26: something borrowed

We are currently borrowing this fan thing from, well I dunno who. I wasn't home when this all happened. Something is leaking water all over our carpet - that I already knew because I'm the one who emailed the apartment people about the problem. While I was at work someone came to 'fix' the problem. I have no idea what happened but all I know is that I came home to this really loud and annoying fan.

I was just hoping that they would replace the carpet....

Day 27: something blue

Day 25: something old/something new

This is my NEW quilt that my mother made me of OLD jeans and fabric she had when I was baby.

Day 26: something borrowed

Day 24: architectual feature in your home

So my apartment is kind of boring...like there isn't anything fantastic that I would take a picture of for this post...so instead you get to see pictures of me sitting on the couch, eating a popsicle, with my new hair color!!!



Day 25: something old/something new

Day 23: someone walking

This was taken last year while I was hiking in Southern Utah.

I am a big fan of blogs: from another blog

Today in Church we talked about TALENTS. This is something I've been subconsciously thinking about for a while.

Wishing that I could be like more like Keri Ranzenberger, who just makes everything look good! I wish I could just throw my hair up like hers and have it look that good. Or that I could be as funny as her (which is actually why I started my blog in the first place because I thought that I could maybe be as funny as she is).

Wishing I could have the courage to just buy something and change it to look just like I want it to just like the women who's blogs I follow do.

Wishing that I had my own place...not owned by some apartment people...that I could decorate however I wanted...so that my apartment could be just as cute as ones I see in pictures and blogs.

Wishing that I could take pictures and make them look as cool as Lara Nelson's that are on her blog.

Wishing that I had the self-assurance that Alisha Geary has and how she always makes me feel better about myself after talking to her.

Wishing that I had life figured out and that I was more put together and looked as beautiful as Miss Ashley Jones who looks freaking gorgeous and totally put together every time I see her.

Wishing that I could always be happy and laughing like Megan Tucker - because she's always laughing and that makes me laugh.

Wishing that I had the desire to keep cleaning my apartment like my roommate Alex Hodge, who's always cleaning which makes me feel bad because I just want to lay around...or blog...

Anyway I could go on and on and on and on about the women that I wish I was more like. But I read this blogpost today and I really appreciated what she said. So thank you: Jones Design Co. for this post...and for letting me post it on my blog. Because let's be honest...I wish my blog looked as cute as yours...

Day 21: using reflection

You can see my mom taking my picture in the reflection of my sunglasses. Cool huh!

Day 22: getting ready for the day

Day 20: current love/significant other

[Let me just start off by saying: I am SO funny...and clever...and creative...]

My current love AND significant other:

CAPTAIN AMERICA (not to be confused with my brother dressed up as Captain America...I'm talking about the one in the movie)

I just get really excited to see him:


and he just makes me feel like the Princess that I am:


I HEART YOU CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!!

Day 19: place you go often

The Temple: okay so this is the Salt Lake Temple...I don't go there that often. But I realized that I haven't taken a picture of the Provo Temple since I was in the MTC um like 3 years ago. I try and go to the temple once a week. I go to the Provo Temple because it's like a 10 minute drive away from my apartment...it would probably be more like 5 minutes if I didn't hit every red light on my way there...which is what usually happens.
I love Temples. I think they are all so beautiful (except Provo...I'm sorry but I think it looks like a space ship...which is probably why I don't have many pictures of it) But all temples are the House of the Lord and they are all special.

Day 20: current love/significant other (this should be good guys)

Day 18: a relative

I had a really hard time deciding which relative I wanted to pick for this post.

But I've been thinking a lot about this one lately. This is my brother Adam. I seriously love this kid more than I can even say.

Day 19: a place you go often

PUPPIES

So today is my day off and well, it's been a sad couple of days. My betta fishes died last week and my baby girl is gone and I think I deserve a new pet! So my friend, Alec, spend the afternoon with me going from pet store to pet store trying to find me a new pet.
Pets are expensive.
Pets are dirty.
Most pets that I could keep in my apartment creep me out.
So I think it's going to be a while till I get a new pet.
But just look at all these cute puppies!!!!!
Look at this one: his head is burried in the corner of the window

And these two sweeties!

And this little poodle shared a cage with two white kittens!


I WANT A PUPPY!!!!

Day 17: your night

My night: sitting on the couch watching a movie...and eating lots of popsicles

Day 18: a relative

Day 16: with a friend

Meet my friend Captain America - also known as my brother David.

Dave may be my youngest brother, but he is also my friend.

Love ya Dave :)

Day 17: your night

Sydney

Sydney - Syd - Sydo - baby girl - pretty girl - princess



I'm sorry we couldn't save you. But we do love you baby girl. oh boy do we love you!

Mommy and Daddy cried and they held you till you were gone. I think Dad (aka: Alpha Male) will miss you most.

I'm sorry I always had to leave you. The look on your face when I came down the stairs with my suitcase a few weeks ago nearly killed me. I think you knew what I didn't yet know. But I gave you a kiss and told you that I love you. I miss you a lot already. Going home next time will be really hard because you won't be there to welcome me.

We miss you:
barking whenever you heard the doorbell or whenever there was an animal in the backyard
walking inbetween our legs and standing there so we'd scratch your butt
farting every time you got off the couch
demanding that you got a place on the couch whenever we watched something
licking our faces everytime we had family prayer
running round and round and round in the backyard
licking the boys' feet because they had wounds
always listening to Dad and following him around because he's Alpha Male
tilting your head to the side anytime we said something to you because you were trying to figure out what we were saying
having to get a haircut because your hair would get so long that you couldn't see anymore
running all over the house to find everyone after you had a bath
not going into bedrooms for very long because they somehow scared you

I miss sitting with you. You would sit and I would sit on the ground next to you and we would just sit there. I would pet you and you would try and lick my face. But we would just sit there. I just loved to be next to you.

Well, here's to you pretty girl. Your family LOVES you. Loves you loves you loves you.

Day 15: something that makes you cry

My dog Sydney is really sick. We don't know what's wrong with her. She's on her second medication. If it doesn't work, we're going to have to put her down. So far, the medication isn't working...

The thought of losing her makes me cry.

Day 16: with a friend

Day 14: favorite treat

Okay so I don't have just ONE favorite treat. But Now and Laters are my new obsession! I can't find them at any grocery store. The only place I can find them is at a candy store in the mall. It's completely over-priced but totally worth it!

Day 15: something that makes you cry

Day 13: something you have made

I made a HUGE mess! I'm in the process of moving into the apartment downstairs. I have to be moved out of the upstairs apartment by 9 am Monday morning - however I can't be completely moved into the downstairs apartment because people are coming to paint the apartment on Tuesday. So I can't really unpack till after the apartment is painted. I don't like this...

Day 14: favorite treat

Day 12: your hands

This is what my hands look like after working 8 hours: dirty and gross - and I can never seem to last a day before my nail polish starts to chip off.

Day 13: something you have made

Day 11: favorite activity

So today has been the awful day that won't end - so I'm sorry that this is an old picture but it'll work.

(One of) My favorite activit(ies)y is laying around in my pjs, pigging out, and watching a show. Current favorite show is: That 70s Show. Current favorite pigging out treat: oreos

Day 12: your hands or family hands

Day 10: your shoes

Okay so these aren't ALL of my shoes. I have more packed away in a suitcase. Well, hello, it's summer folks! I can't have my winter shoes out right now. What am I nuts?

Day 11: favorite activity

Day 9: shadow

I took this while I was at home - taking my dog Sydney for a walk

Day 10: your shoes

Day 8: what you wore today

pink shirt: American Eagle
white undershirt: DownEast
skinny jeans: PacSun
shoes: ForeverYoung
purse: Target

Day 9: shadow

Day 7: out your kitchen window

I live on the 2nd floor of my apartment complex. Not the greatest view but its a view none the less!

Day 8: what you wore today

Day 6: yourself working

This is me at work.
The store is closed and I look at the back wall and this is what I see.
I guess the kids decided they needed to try on almost every pair of shoes on this wall and the parents...well they decided they didn't need to clean up after their kids....
If you think this is bad, you should have seen the denim wall.

Day 7: out your kitchen window

Day 5: photo of a favorite nook/space in your home

Okay so my favorite space in my apartment hands down is my bed. But my bed is in yesterday's picture so today's photo is of my new favorite spot in my apartment. This is the top of the entertainment center. Who wouldn't love this spot?! This has everything happy: flowers, white pitchers, princess crowns, cake plates, and cute signs.

Day 6: yourself working

Day 4: a morning photo

My flight was delayed an hour and a half so I didn't walk into my apartment until almost 2am. I also had to open my store this morning.
I woke up with a headache.
This morning I was ironing my new dress that I got yesterday and the fabric split and so now it's ruined. I almost cried.
I got to my store and found it was a huge hot mess. And the schedule wasn't done for next week.
So I had a headache, I was really tired, I was upset about my ruined dress, and my store was a hot mess.
It was not a good morning.

Day 5 - photo of a favorite nook/space in your home

Day 3: fun with chalk (fun with cousins)

So I don't have any chalk. I also didn't want to go buy chalk just for this photo challenge.
I did however, spend time with my family on Lake Sammamish a few days ago. Hence today's photo challenge is: fun with cousins





Day 4: morning photo

Day 2: a photo of something you own in your favorite color

PINK is my favorite color...

This is my very pink ipod.
I used to think ipods were lame when they first came out. But while I was in Germany Apple came out with the new nano. I saw them for the first time and fell in LOVE.

I love my perfect shade of pink ipod :) it's so cute and small - just like ME!

Day 3: fun with chalk - I'm changing it to: fun with cousins

Day 1: a photo of yourself

This is me!
SOOO happy to be home for a few days and wishing I had brought all my stuff with me from Utah so I didn't have to go back...

Tomorrow is Day 2: photo of something you own in your favorite color
