yesterday was all sorts of wonderful. I woke up to rush off to babysit my two favorite little kids where we drew troll people and talked about who i hung out with more than my parents (talk about random question) then I headed home to get ready for the best night of my life. Andrew surprised me with tickets to Beauty and the Beast Broadway it was so magical I loved every minute of it (minus the minute where i thought i would die from frostbite and thirst) I love going to plays, musicals you name it im so down to do it and having one handsome man in the seat next to you who leans over numerous times to tell you he loves you just makes it that much better!

i also ate heaping amounts of food which thankfully ended with ben and jerrys toffee crunch deliciousness

just before the start of the amazing show

 guys he really is the real deal and i'm keeping him:)

I love days where neither Andrew or I work so we can spend the WHOLE day together. He is amazing and I just can't seem to get enough of him:) Monday we went sledding pretty much all day then we headed inside to warm up and watch twilight (terrible movie) and that is where he almost lite the house on fire by leaving a whole box of matches on top of the wood stove---it reeked of matches the whole night it was gross. We also stayed up late talking to his dad (who is amazing) and got to learn about his childhood and his conversion story (which is amazing) I love getting to know Andrew and his amazing family it was truly a good day:)

I love that he is never serious 

I love this boy

after sledding snuggle sessions watching lame movies= nothing better:)

dustpans and candles

it might have been a snow day everywhere yesterday and by everywhere i mean cow/pull area (meaning yes) and it also might have been a terrible day to do a insanity work out (yes as well) I woke up and did all my chores before Liz decided to grace her self to be numbered with the people awake. and we hit the computers her in search of a job and me filling out yet more applications for dental hygiene (yay) then we tried to plan a trip out to my mans house with little success...it ended up being a giant mess where i had to dig out liz's car twice with a shovel and also where i cursed plyo work outs that make your triceps jello and worthless...it also didn't help that the first time i dug her out i used a dust pan BUT that is beside the point. we also lost power for 2 hours which resulted in a candle light dinner for 3:) it was a very interesting day lets just say that and i was so ready for that lovely bed of mine once the power came back on of course.

New!

So I got an ITouch for my birthday/christmas and I am LOVING on it like crazy! some of my obsession happen to be fruit ninja (addicting times a million) and instagram which is also addicting. It has also been snowing like crazy talk. Liz has also slept over at my house a remarkable number of times in a row which i love! we have been having way to much fun with each other watching modern family, having a baby war with fruit ninja and trying to out do the others score, snow plowing/ shoveling, sledding with our men, and finger nail painting. It really has been a lot of fun these last couple of days!

(no worries its sttttiiillll snowing) 

Saturday i turned myself in to a cosmetologist it was a fabulous experience where i got to inhale hair color fumes and dye hair as well as earlobes and foreheads. It was a glorious experience so glorious i rethought my dental hygiene career;) 

A trip to Palouse

I really need to be friends with this blog again. My life has been crazy! If im not working Im hanging out either with Andrew or Liz which is amazing but it definitely takes all my free do nothing productive time away from me. yesterday I took Liz to Palouse mainly for my benefit of visiting my favorite antique store but we will pretend it was because she wanted to go real bad. I have so much fun with this girl she is hilarious and we get a long so dang well. 

I love this mirror times a million

I also want this couch and would give my big toe for it

I dream about that brick wall ahhh so perfect

of course you have to eat at the Green Frog Cafe BEST FOOD EVER!

I ate this grilled cheese and went to Heaven right after

Palouse is seriously such a darling little town I love it to pieces 

I had the best birthday EVER! I am seriously so blessed to have such amazing friends and family in my life:) I woke up to get whisked away to the breakfast club with my main man where we devoured ridiculous amounts of food that is very unhealthily good.

after that we came back to my place and watched limitless (well he did i fell asleep) and then headed to his house where his mom showed me what seemed like endless amounts of costumes and fabric supply. I also got to 'watch' a football game (again fell asleep) and then we headed back to my place for a delicious dinner of romesco chicken with zucchini linguine DIVINE! after that we had lemon poppy seed bundt cake with a raspberry glaze and whipping cream it was very tasty and i opened up cards and presents. 

when 8 o'clock rolled around we headed over to my dear friend Liz's apartment to have a pirate themed birthday party where we ate ridiculous amounts of popcorn and chatted away. we also played endless amounts of signs and fruit basket that resulted in newspaper swords to the face. 

I love this girl so much!

the newly engaged girly! I was so happy she came

the newly engaged couple! yay so exciting

timed perfectly balloon toss

this boy is so amazing 

our only normal picture of the night (lets not talk about how many tries it took to get this)

such a cute pirate she definitely was the best dressed there

of course my boyfriend is the center of attention;)

It was definitely a night to remember I had such an amazing day with everyone that was able to spend it with me

Palouse is by far the best place for antique shopping! AND going with my best friend makes it so much better I was so happy to be with this girl doing what i love doing ANTIQUING:)

we found fabulous hats! 

After I got home I headed straight to bed bath and beyond....because I love that place of course JK my dear married friend Natasha was there shopping with her mom. I haven't seen this pretty girl since she got married silly married people and never seeing their single friends RUDE;) It was so great catching up in the isle of bed bath and beyond. 

it was sooooo good seeing her!

I of course brought along my bestie (actually she was there but lets pretend she wasn't)

Ugly sweater party #2

You can't have too many ugly sweater parties right???...right! I had a grand total of 3 but this one by far was the BEST! we ate delicious snacks....talked for hours.......and played hours and hours of signs (best game EVER) My friends are seriously the best they are so much fun! I can't get over how much fun we have with each other. its always sad for me when they all head back to school BUT such is life. 

Hello 2012

I had the best New Years Eve EVER!!!! seriously so much fun. we headed over to the Joseph St building where we watch Megamind (semi lame..sorry Ryan) then after that got over we woke up from our pre-funk nap and started to dance the night away. We had glow sticks and everything. I adore my group of friends they seriously are the best group ever. I will be sad once everyone starts getting married and stops coming home...but i can't talk to much since that married person might be me hahaha

its all weird from the fog machine but still cute! I love her to DEATH

dancing the night away!

once it was New Years we started the lovely clean up where this fabulous challenge came up---who could pop the balloons the fastest..of course Andrew took it to the extreme;)

after we had finished cleaning up Liz, Austin, Andrew, and I headed downtown to see the classy people it was very entertaining...i also ran into some of my old high school classmates which was interesting to say the least. 

just take a look at my coat---yes my boyfriend know how to shop and yes he has AMAZING taste in clothes I told him he can buy we clothes any day!

of course i had to love on him its pretty much impossible for me not too. he's amazing times a million

the other couple joining in the on the photoshoot. Liz makes fun of me fore my picture obsession but deep down she enjoys it;) 

A new look

I got brave and dyed my hair two shades darker...and ok I semi had a fear of getting my hair colored and especially darker. Andrew claimed he hated darker hair he in fact preferred blondes over brunettes ( I have changed his ways no worries) but I wanted a hair change and I've done the whole blonde highlight business everyone seems go to through but i had never gone darker and so i got my favorite hairstylist to talk me into it...and people Michelle is AMAZING I am so bummed she no longer lives her because seriously she is the first person that hasn't made me want to cry while I walk out of the door because I look like a lion or a boy OR worse a mix of the both. My dark hair has taken me awhile to get use to but i do like it a lot its a really pretty color and it makes me look tanner....and Andrew likes it talk about win win and win!

Christmas

I have absolutely no pictures of Christmas which is terribly sad really. On Christmas Eve I went over the Andrews house for a family party with all his cousins and aunts and uncles and Dads nephews....so really any relation and i had a blast it was so good to meet everyone! after we ate a delicious meal we did a gift exchange where i got a beautiful scarf, delicious toffee, and tree ornaments that are gorgeous. after present exchange we headed out to the freezing cold and watched the boys light off giant fireworks....it was a great day for sure:)

Christmas was by far the best day of my life! we woke up and opened our presents as a family then headed off to church where they did a beautiful musical program. then i headed over to Andrews for a few hours ate some food and chit chatted then we headed to my house where we were able to skype Elder Parsons in Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so great to hear from him and see him. His English was horrific it was crazy how much he had forgotten but that is what happens when you engulf yourself in the culture and language. He is doing great and loving the experiences its not easy but the best things tend to be the hardest.
Christmas is such a wonderful day I love the message that comes with that day and the sweet happy feeling it brings. I also love having a niece and a nephew who  bring back the excitement and happiness santa brings to the house. It was definitely a wonderful day!

Catch up

you remember that day I wrote about having to wait for my lover to show up??? welll that little sneaky guy came early and surprised me minutes after I had wrote that! Best surprise ever! He had wanted to skype that night which was totally cool (what our relationship survived on Thank you skype you rock) so he called me around 530 to see if i was home to skype (or so i thought) we were chit chatting away while i started my computer when the doorbell rang and at this house no one answers the door unless its for them so i usually get promoted to door answerer since my room location is closest. So i told him to hold on while i answered the door and i will be honest i was annoyed i had to stop talking to him to get the door which wasn't for me since i wasnt expecting anyone....and there he was with the biggest grin on his face while i screamed like a little girl.....ahhh it was the best thing in the world seeing him.
