future home

I found the style I want for our future home.
I found these images from the Lettered Cottage which I found through the Pioneer Woman 
the makeover the Lettered Cottage did on their home is amazing.
I love the nautical/beach theme throughout the whole home and from what i gathered they did most of the remodel themselves and had such awesome ideas. 
one day. (probably in 15 years) when we buy a home I can incorporate ideas like these...

i love the white with pops of color throughout the house
 i love a light kitchen with open cupboards


loving these bedrooms!!

wish i was done tomorrow

I cannot wait for the day when I will be finished with school.
I feel like I have been in school forever and still have forever to go

but really I probably have a year left depending on a few special things that might come up this year. 
Compared to Dane I am practically done. He still has many years ahead of him.

As I go through the week with school, work, homework, studying, reading ...same same same..
I have to tell you I just can't wait to be done with school and do things that I love or things I want to learn how to do.
I have a growing list 
learning more in photography and illustrator
how to sew
I am loving this
I saw this on etsy from here and she uses freehand embroidery on her sewing machine..
I had no idea what that was but I looked it up and I really want to do this and combine free hand embroidery with art

make a decent meal more than once a week
have more time to read for fun.. books I pick out.
keeping a clean house for most of the week and not just the weekend
trying different crafts or projects I see on other blogs or Martha Stewart

blog header

I finally figured out how to make a blog header for this blog
I don't know why it took me so long to figure out but I finally got it!
woo!
It's a rough cut but what do you think? 
I'm sure I'll change it and make it better... anyone want one? 
I want to practice and learn how to do it better

Freddi Fish...

We have played video games more in the past few weeks then this whole year
I got dane (well and myself) an xbox kinect for christmas and it is a whole lot of fun!
Our favorite has got to be beach volleyball. 
totally legit we love it!

all of this video gaming has got me thinking about the games I played when I was little on the computer..
Freddi Fish and Putt Putt
seriously I loved Freddi Fish!

I just remember playing with Heather for hours

turns out Freddi Fish is still alive, they have Wii games for him! haha it made me laugh and there might have been a small part of me that wanted to try it...

just reminisce with me..





and putt putt saves the zoo is a classic..


oh childhood.

Christmas 2010

I took very very few pictures during the break..
i don't like when i do that.
but Christmas was excellent! I loved being back at home with my family, I miss them all so much while we are in Utah finishing up school.
We had lots of fun while we were down there, we played Just Dance 2, ate yummy dinners from my mom, played games, and tennis, watched tess' soccer games, and just hung out together.
The week went by way too fast
especially because i got sick towards the end and slept basically the whole time.. not fair.

Here is a picture of the kids with our Christmas PJs on, my mom made the girls bottoms and the boys got some sweats. My mom is so clever.. she got us T's with our favorite tv shows. Dane&myself = The Office, Brooke&Bret's = Friday Night Lights, Tess = Cake Boss, Noah = Shark Week and Faye&Reese = Disney princesses
stole this picture from my mom.. thanks!

I haven't taken a picture of the Christmas gifts my mom made for me (I will eventually) but they were amazing and my favorite gifts I have ever gotten.
She made a quilt for me with all of my old volleyball festival t shirts (seriously incredible) she also made the cutest "grocery" bags
**but they are too cute to use just for shopping so I am using them for everything else too** 
People have complimented me on those bags asking where they could get one -- ya i feel pretty cool.

here are the only pictures i took while we were watching tess play soccer.. and Charlee is in every single one. she's too cute.




hope everyone had a merry christmas plus a happy new year
