ok ok ok ok ok

one more recap post and then we will be back in business. so i think we left off just before the weddin'. everything was wonderful. thanks to my mom and tons of ladies from our ward. we were able to have most of both families there. it was just fantastic. however, i will not miss searching high and low for anything sea foam green, coral, and yellow. I've returned to my normal navy blue, grey, and white tendencies. thank goodness.
the adjustment to married life has been surprisingly easy. and i really do mean surprising. everyone told us that the first year would be awful but that it would eventually get better. we are crossing our fingers that an easy first year doesn't mean that the rest of the years will be hard. haha. we spend most of our time watching 'the office' on netflix, indexing, or going on walks.

anyway... we have been loving our little life. before we got married i quit my cushy (joke) school slp job without having anything else lined up. then we moved to draper. then we unpacked boxes. then i started job hunting. it was surprisingly hard. buuut long story (filled with many miracles and blessings from God) short, i found one. i work at a skilled nursing/rehabilitation center that is 4 minutes from my house. actually it is more like 7 now that school has started (there are like 3 school zones between my house and my work). i really love my job. it's been a good change of pace from working at a school. it is amazing how different working with kids and adults is. i can't decide if 4 year olds are funnier than 80 year olds. or who is more inappropriate.

here are some kissey wedding pictures...


the most beautiful flowers that have ever happened to a wedding...mustache fun at fentons...

baby goats

something you may not know about me is that i have suddenly become kind of interested in baby goats (and goats in general). something you may not know about baby goats is that they are adorable. i just stumbled upon this delightful cache of goat pictures and personal goat information.
I would definitely recommend spending a few minutes poking around the "goat album" and don't miss out on the "kidding schedule." Oh and the bios on the sale page are pretty good.
here is a little something to pique your interest...

federal government mormon ads

this is why i am glad the federal government doesn't get to teach religion in public school...
it takes this...
and turns it into this...


chipmunks? ok.

fun things that have happened

it's so hard to come back from a blogging hiatus. the thing that i think everyone likes most about blogs is looking at pictures. so, to lure you back to the "safety dance," I will give you what you want...


just a little adventure with the nephews over christmas break. they continue to be so adorable and funny. they are looking for the frozen yogurt store.


I bought this rug at ikea. i have never seen a rug that i really just loved. and i still haven't. but this one is alright.

alan, looking very style at the grilled cheese gala OF THE CENTURY (thanks to becca and kyle).

and this is RUBY (also thanks to becca and kyle). my only hope is that she falls in love with one of my nephews.


fun times at the international market by IKEA in california. we are all looking very style. especially katy...who is now my very official roommate. and i love that about her.


THIS is a very large political map of the world. it stays in my kitchen (my table is not usually this messy, how embarrassing). we have a lot of fun playing geography games and making fun of the things people name islands.

the blogging

welp. here we are again. me apologizing for not blogging. which, i guess, when you think about it, is really arrogant of me to do. since it assumes that you are probably all soooo interested in my tiny human life that the absence of frequent updates has kept you awake at night for months. i knew it. i'm sorry.
so. what the happ's is: i live in orem, ut. a place which i have heretofore avoided, but, as it turns out, is great. i love it. i have made lots of great friends here and i love living in "the four-plex." i have been doing all sorts of big-kid things. i have benefits. i bought a couch at a department store. heck, i bought dishes with birds on them. i have a job. i am a speech language pathologist for realzies now. i work at an elementary school and a special needs pre-school. it is SO funny and fun. AND it is 2 minutes away from my house. win. my bangs are approximately one half inch from being grown out. double win. so many good things. please enjoy this picture of my school picture.

4 things

1. 100 figurative dollars goes to the first person to tell me what is missing from this picture.

2. 100 figurative dollars to the person who comes up with the most appropriate compliment for this head band i just crafted.

3. these muffins are delicious (1 box of chocolate cake mix, one can of libby's pumpkin. bake 'em)

4. it's honey lime chicken again tonight. i told you i was going to do it again.

google maps

dear google maps,

i know you are the best, but i would really appreciate it if you would be more forthcoming when i ask you about near by hobby lobby locals. you made me drive nearly 35 minutes. there is a hobby lobby approximately 6 minutes from my house. why you gotta front?
