The Love Day

By
I love holidays.  They just make me so happy.  I wanted to do something fun for Danny that would surprise him.  My sister Noelle showed me some cute Star Wars valentine's on pinterest.  I printed them off and posted them around the house for Danny to find and wrote on them some of the many reasons I love Danny, because he is pretty great.  I then got up early and made heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast. I couldn't resist dying them pink, like my mom used to.  I never make breakfast, so I figured this would really surprise Danny.  He seemed quite pleased.  I also got him some of his favorite candy and treats for him to find later in the day.



Danny definitely surprised me as well.  When I got home from work, Danny told me he got tickets to Wreck It Ralph at the Dollar Theater for our evening activity.  I laughed and said it sounded fun.  Then he handed me the tickets. I did a double take and realized he was teasing me and had really gotten tickets to Ballet West's performance of Cinderella for that evening.  I was super excited.  I took ballet lessons back in my youth.  While I was never spectacular, it gave me an appreciation for this art form.  We first went to dinner at Tucci's, a cute Italian restaurant near Trolley Square.  We splurged and got the Italian sodas.  Then we headed down to the Capitol Theater for the ballet.  I thought it was lovely and impressive.  Danny was kind enough to sit through it.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
