It's all in the jeans!!!

Brad and I have been in desperate need of some new clothes that fit and aren't from high school. We finally had some extra money so we went down to kohl's and got Brad 2 pairs of his favorite jeans that happened to be on sale so it made them 2 for the price of 1!!! He still has another pair that is just getting close to throwing away so the timing was perfect. I hate shopping for jeans, it's the most uncomfotable, ego blasting, realize-how-big-I-really-am experience. Last time I found some jeans, the people were really nice helped me find what I needed but I definately paid a hefty price for it. Last time Brad and I were in Bozeman, MT we went to a store called Vanity (where I found the cutest dress) and the girl that was working was super nice and they had more options than the other store and was about a third the price! So, for this shopping trip we went to Vanity in the Idaho Falls Mall, and the girls totally helped me out and were just throwing pair after pair in my dressing room. And with great success I came out with 2 new pairs of jeans. Brad and I are set for a bit now!!

oh P.S. my favorite thing about this jean store is that it's not only your size and then short, tall, regular. They do waist and INSEAM!!! I've never seen a girls jean that does that, It's wonderful having jeans that fit all around and best of all no hemming!!

Healthier Eating

Being so busy, we eat whatever is fastest! But on my days off I really like to cook! This was from Cinco de Mayo. I didn't put the picture up but I came home from work and Brad grilled some chicken and we have grilled chicken tacos and I made virgin strawberry daiquiri's, so yummy! The other day I really wanted kabob's. I really like sho-yu chicken so we grilled chicken kabobs with onions and mushrooms that marinaded in the sho-yu sauce for a few hours. When they were almost done we grilled the tortillas and threw it all together. It was so good and not too bad for us.

By the time we ate we had 2 flour tortillas and a chicken breast with vegi's! We love grilling and are so happy it's semi grilling weather!

If you have anymore fun grilling ideas let me know!! We're up to any challenge..

Last but not least my favorite of all. When I have more time in the morning, I like to mix up my Slimfast. (I've been drinking slimfast forever, it's my favorite thing to have in the morning) I always keep frozen berries in my freezer. Schwan's sells a mixed bag that has Blackberries, Blue Berries, and Raspberries. I also always keep another bag of blueberries, but because I really like them. So I put my normal slimfast in the blender and throw in about a cup of berries, and it's this wonderful chocolate berry shake.. I highly suggest trying it those slimfast lovers out there.

Random...

With Brad and I both in school and working, life is a little crazy and a lot of busy! At the beginning of the month my friend Jen and sister-in-law told me about something called Bountiful Baskets. For $15 I got all of this!! It was so fun because I love fresh produce but really can't afford as much as I would like. All of this lasted me about 3 weeks and was so fun to have, Brad's favorite was the melons, and trying an artichoke for the first time!! When school started up again we had to say good-bye to the beard. Brad loves having his facial hair and I don't really care either way, but here is Bradley with no more facial hair. He can't wait to graduate next year! I will never see a clean shaven face again... so he says!!

A Fun Visit!

My parents decided to make a trip up to Idaho to see their long lost daughter! Dad hadn't been to Idaho since they brought up wedding presents over 2 years ago! They arrived on dad's birthday so we had "Moon Pie Cake" which if you're wondering what that is, it's my disasterous cake turned into something creative! Sadly, Mom had shingles still, and there's not much to do in Rexburg when it's cold so we didn't do much, a lot of laying around and talking. Mom wanted to eat on my china, which is so beautiful, and so we had dad's birthday dinner on it. We had honey lime chicken enchiladas, so good! And mom had me bring out my china so she could give me holders to keep my china in! It was well worth pulling the china out of the boxes! On Sunday we went to church, came home and relaxed. I made Sho yu chicken in my big electric skillet, (which i haven't opened since getting from my wedding) I love it!

Brad and I won Sorry Sliders at this years Pharmacy Christmas Party, It's pretty fun and so we knew mom would like it. There are a few different game boards so we tried all 4 of them. We also had awesome weather on Monday, the car said 68!! Mom and Dad must have brought the sunshine with them!

The day they were suppose to leave look what we woke up too!!!! Proof that I'm not lying when I say we have snow in the middle of April. Luckily, Rexburg is special and when mom and dad left they said when they got to Rigby there wasn't very much snow. (Rigby is 15 miles away, crazy huh?) It was such a fun weekend, and I'm glad that they came up to see Brad and I, we love visiters!

Super Bowl

Ok, so I know this is like 2 weeks old, but at least it's being posted! Brad and I had our 2nd Annual Super Bowl Party with a few friends. It was so much fun, obviously our team lost but whatever we had a lot of fun and food! Brad and I got matching jerseys last summer and wore them whenever we watched the Colts! We love Peyton!!! We had tons of food. I did a nacho bar that was a hit and so fun! I also did blue and gold sugar cookies in the shapes of stars! (Blue for the Colts, Gold for the Saints) Brett and Alyssa brought this yummy cherry cheesecake made out of cherry chip cake! So good. Jen and BJ brought yummy banana bread with maple frosting and apples with a really good dip we had tried the week before with them. Danny and Heather brought the best egg rolls!! So we really did have a ton of food.

We had plenty to drink and still have a ton left over but we still have Blazer games to watch with friends so it's come in handy!

This was Brad having too much fun with the camera when Danny and Heather arrived! See all that snow...Blah!

This is Brynlee who we absolutely love! She's BJ and Jens daughter, just turned 1 about a month ago! She's so funny, and leaves Brad and I cracking up! She was really good throughout the yelling, laughing, and all around loud noise. She also really loves Brad!

The One and Only....

The one and only thing I love about the winter is when the blinding fog rolls in and you wake up to everything being perfectly iced over. It's super cold but all the branches on trees are frosted and white. Coolest thing I've ever seen. Brad took some pictures for me while I was running out the door to work. These are all just from outside the house. This is the tree is across the sreet. This is the drain on the sides of our doors. Our neighbors is a lot bigger for some reason. I can't believe how big this icicle gets.This is my car itena. So crazy huh?

This is my tree on the front porch. It's dead, and I don't think I'll be able to revive it this summer! This is the only thing that puts a smile on my face during the winter, Can't wait for Summer!!!

2 Years Strong

It's our 2 year anniversary!!! I can't believe it. We got married February 9, 2008 at the Los Angeles Temple. It was a perfect day in the 70's. Minus Brad stepping on my dress and not being able to get into our hotel room, it was the perfect! ha (the dress was fine, just a scary noise!) We had almost all of our family there to help us celebrate. We love and support each other, we've been so blessed in so many ways.

Sometimes it's crazy to think that within these 2 years we can finish each others sentences and totally have ESP.

We always have fun together and are constantly making each other laugh. We both like to see the other one smile!

Even though this picture is dark, it's one of my favorites, not the look, but maybe one of my favorite moments with Brad. Walking around Balboa Island on our Honeymoon, so sweet.
I love Brad and the life we have together, I can't wait for all the years to come!
