Apartment Tour

So a lot of family haven't seen our new apartment yet and have been requesting pictures.  Here's a little peak into our Provo apartment.

 this is our door from the inside

 Our kitchen table is the first thing you see coming in, make a left and your in the living room

 from one corner you see my fancy red shelf that gets decorated for holidays, tv, movies

 the other corner view is the couch and book shelf

 and then once again the craft corner

 back into the kitchen we have the fridge hiding a bit

 cupboards, sink, oven, etc.

 there's also a little pantry closet where we store food, pans, ironing board.

 The hallway leads to the two bedrooms and bathroom

 first door on the right is the bathroom.  I think this room is still my favorite decorated room ever.

 our bathroom is super tiny, we have to duck down to get in the shower haha

 Next room is the second bedroom/office/child room/storage room.   It has many purposes :)

 Then of course the bedroom.  We took the smaller room because it had a bigger closet and we knew more stuff would be going in the larger room.

Our very full closet, I think Daniel only has like 8 shirts on the right and I take up the rest. 




Well there ya have it

Provo thats how we roll

We moved!

Daniel got excepted to BYU a few months ago and we finally made our move to Provo.  We got all packed up last week and moved in on Sat. thanks to so many family members.  We are sure lucky that everything has fallin into place as far as switching to summer semester which helped out with Daniels program to the apartment being in better condition then we expected.  We are also so lucky that we had people help us move, the stairs weren't very fun but they never complained.  We have quite enjoyed it so far.  Daniel is looking for a job right now so we've had a few days to just explore and have fun together.  It's weird that you can live in a place less then a week and already feel like your home and slightly forget what it was like to live in an old place.  I must just have bad memory haha or its Heavenly Fathers way of making you feel good about your situation and choice.  Here's a few pictures, not a lot.  We need to get better at taking more pictures. 

 First time living without a dish washer, it really hasn't been to bad.  This is our first round of wash :)

 This place has a cute little corner desk, because Daniel already has a desk I made it my craft corner.  I'm pretty excited for this and I think Daniels excited because maybe my sewing pins will stay in this corner haha (maybe I'm not making promises)

 Our laundry building, it actually has lots of washer and dryers and was dead.  We were able to do like six loads (theyre small we don't have a ton of stuff)  without anyone else being there.

 Daniel being the folding man

Daniel has really wanted to play soccer for days so he went and set up his goal and shot some.  I swear children are just drawn to Daniel, this little boy came out and wanted to play.  He saw all the soccer balls he had and was just like wow, wow. 


I also wanted to share that Daniel has a new buddy.  We stayed with his parents this last Sunday and Daniels Bro and sis inlaw were also there with there daughter.  Lets just say that every time I looked over they were together.  It was the cutest thing in the world.  They are friends and although I was slightly jealous jk I couldn't help but love what I was seeing. 

Wedding bells are ringing

A friend of my moms asked me a few months back if I would make some wedding table decorations for her daughters upcoming wedding.  I was thrilled that she asked and was excited to have something to keep me busy for a little while.  I also was pretty nervous saying yes,  this was someones wedding and I wasn't confident in my level of skill.  I also just didn't want to make a mistake, or the fear of getting all done and it not being what they pictured.  I'm happy to say though that it was a success and they loved it.   The bride to be wanted a southern/rustic type wedding.  She is from the south and wanted it to have elegance in the colors but that rustic charm that could be added in the details.   So this is what I came up with. 

Her colors were pale pink, cream, champagne

 I made her throw bouquet and two little bouquets for flower girls

 This is the base of her bouquet

 These were just veggie cans spray painted cream and then I put burlap then lace over the top

 I made this sign that she could put by the cards table
I also did these really adorable jars but forgot to take a picture.  They were just simple canning jars, I threaded pearls on twine and wrapped it around the jar a few times, for the lid I just took some lace put in on paper then screwed the lid back on.

My dad took this picture of what the tables looked like at the actual wedding. 
I'm hoping that if she posts some pictures on facebook I can maybe snag a few to put on here. 

I sure do love decorating and doing fun stuff like this

Gotta Love Taco Time Sauce

If you know me at all you know that I love Taco time sauce, okay and I love Taco time.  Well I found out that I could make there crisp bean burritos a while back.  So what did we eat on the blessed day of May 5th, crisp bean burritos.  Live would not be complete with out taco time sauce so had to pick some of that up as well.
