Girls Night

This past weekend Dallin went to Vegas for a lacrosse tournament and sadly I could not go with him. So what does that mean?! GIRLS NIGHT!! Friday night my friends came over for the ultimate girls night, we did face masks, ate junk food, talked, did our nails and watched some movies. It was so much fun! I am so glad they came over to keep me company because I hate staying alone haha

Saturday was a relaxing day, I just sat around, did some homework and found 5 cute patterns for some sewing projects!! Then I went to the Aggies Basketball game which was a blast! I LOVE going to basketball games!! I think my love for watching/going to basketball games came from my Dad :) He use to take us to the BSU Basketball games.

Have you ever felt like you need another weekend to recover from your weekend? I sure did after this one!


But I am glad to say that my husband is back and we are working hard in school so we can have a fun weekend in Oregon!! I seriously can't wait and I know he is pretty excited himself! I am just hoping that the weather isn't too cold or else I will definitely need hot chocolate ALL day Saturday to keep me warm and happy! Hope you all have a wonderful week and are excited for Thanksgiving next week! I know I am!!

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday to the Husband!!

 I don't know what I would do without him, he is so loving, kind, gentle,

 fun, goofy, sweet, understanding, handsome, 

crazy and the list goes on!

I love this boy to death and I am so glad he is mine!

We are celebrating by going on a road trip to see Oregon play Stanford next weekend!!

We are VERY excited to go!!

this is when he went last year (he loves Oregon)

Happy Birthday Love!

Sproutflix

Yesterday in one of my classes my professor showed me a website called Sproutflix. Sproutflix is a  list of carefully selected films of artistry and intellect specifically related to the lives, performances and accomplishments of people with developmental disabilities. Go to THIS page and watch the video on the page called One Question. It is a really touching video...seriously made me tear up. 

Hope you all had a great Halloween!!!

Pumpkin Carving

A few weekends ago we went to Layton to hang out with Dallin's family. Saturday we got to go to a pumpkin patch which was so fun and REALLY dusty! don't ask me why I chose to wear ALL black, obviously I wasn't thinking!

 Alissa's family joined us, aren't these two girls just adorable?!

 Sunday we carved the pumpkins we picked out :)

I think I go through phases and Dallin has the perfect faces for them... first: excited, second: ready to start, third: ready to be done haha

Even the girls carved/painted their pumpkins :)

Robin digging out the pumpkin guts...not my favorite part so Dallin did it for me :) what a nice husband! And this is the pumpkin she carved without a template, I think it turned out great!!

I bet you can guess which two are Dallin's and which one is mine :) yes mine is the less scary and very simple one!

Happy Halloween everyone!! Have fun trick or treating!!

Time Out

This past weekend was wonderful. If you know me well you know that I have a special relationship with all my uncles, and I was the first girl to steal their hearts :) but how could I not be, with my cuteness as a little girl you would have to be crazy not to think I was just adorable haha Well it just so happens that my Uncle Justin came to visit last weekend! He was here on business but  put time aside to spend with just me and Dallin.  My uncle Justin and I are about 12 years apart so when I was young he would use me to get girls....he is not the only Uncle who did that! ha I could probably tell you a million stories about all my uncles and how they spoiled me and "tortured" me but I will save that for another time :) Right now Justin lives in Virginia (pretty freakin far I know!) with his adorable family so I don't get to see him that often but when I do I cherish the time we have together. I just wanted to give a shout out to Justin and say thanks for spending time with us last weekend it meant the world.

Us a few years ago

This past weekend my Grandma took me to my first Time Out For Women. It was AMAZING! If any of you ever get the chance to go, do it! The speakers were amazing and Jericho Road sang some of my favorite songs. Seriously I was in tears almost the entire time, either from crying or laughing so hard I was crying.  We went with some of my distant cousins and it was pretty fun!

Our group :)

My grandma and me

We ate lunch during the break outside and it was freezing ha but the women sure knew how to take care of us girls, they brought us cookies and chocolate to take in to eat during the second half of the session to keep us awake...even though we didn't need it because we were laughing so much! Here is one of my favorite songs by Jericho Road. Listen to it because it has a great message. It talks about what a man would do for the love of a woman :) Read the lyrics HERE

A Few Fall Favorites

Here are a Few of my Fall favorites

Shoes: 

I  love these Toms and I have been wanting some Lodge Boots like these! i think they are abosultely adorable, pulling them off thats a whole other thing ha I am also love oxfords more then ever and I want/need(think I need) some brown boots :) I love boots!

                                                                  Plaids and Stripes:

I love almost everything that is plaid and striped. Plus with these two things I think you can layer a lot and make outfits look completely different.







Sweaters:

I love sweaters, but lets be honest who doesn't?! You can wear them fall or winter and you can layer them, wear scarves with them and they just look so darn cute! this does include cardigans( LOVE)
Warm Accessories:

I love accessories :)

As you can see I am totally ready for fall and layering. Happy weekend!
