The Nursery and Hawaii

Wow, I received a whole lot of love on my last post. Thank you, kind people. I appreciate the validation. We are doing well. Baby and I are becoming more accustomed to our new lives together. Baby is a very cute little buddy I get to hang out with all day. So if in my last post I seemed, I don't know, overwhelmed (because I was), just know I feel like we are making progress.

I've been meaning to share these pictures of the baby's room forever ago (ok, like a month).  My mom and I worked frantically on his room while I was in the middle of having contractions a few days before Baby made his arrival. I was quite pleased how it all turned out. Special thanks to my sisters who created the wall decor.

We will get a crib once he gets a little bigger.
The changing table. We spend a lot of time here.
The toys, which I'm sure he will enjoy all in good time.
In other news, I've decided my little family and I need to move to Hawaii. I know we just bought a house and don't get me wrong, I really like it and the neighborhood. Everyone has been most welcoming. However, I came to the conclusion that Baby and I are living in the Hawaii-Aleutain Time Zone. (I just found out the name of that time zone through Google. Maybe I shouldn't admit that so I sound all time zone educated.) In our time zone we go to bed at 3am and get up around noon. However, if we were in Hawaii, that would make it so we were going to bed at 11pm and getting up at 8am. It help us lead much more normal lives, so really it just makes sense. Plus it would solve our whole lack of beach problem, which is a real conundrum. (I really just wanted to use the word conundrum.)

 Now I just need to talk Danny into this plan. Aloha!

    Cute nursery! But please don't move to Hawaii! That is just too far away, but if you do go, make it Kahului, the flights to there are the cheapest. :)

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 the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
