the Tulip Festival with my love

house-i-versary

Sunday was our one year house-i-versary!
To celebrate, we invited the Buhler's over & they have something to celebrate as well! (they just signed on their own home + they have a new baby coming in November)
One year ago, on moving day, we had pizza and orange soda. So, that is what I made for the celebration! After dinner, we took little Oaklee to the park and had so much fun playing with her. She is sunshine. I love her, a lot.

one to live by..

"Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, color, sounds and work that nourish you." - SARK

I spent the weekend..
..photographing around the Bountiful Temple
..eating cafe rio
..around a campfire with dear dear friends
..listening to the cutest four year old tell the cutest jokes
..watching youtube videos with mom & dad (& laughing, a lot.)
..receiving encouraging words from my in-laws
..dreaming of Oregon
..cuddling and laughing with Jared

I know where I am happy in my life and I also know where I am not. But, you know what is great? I have control over that. I've decided that this quote is definitely one to live by.

Happy Easter

General Conference yesterday was bliss. So many prayers answered already. I loved the talk given by Julie B. Beck. Here is a little peice of what she said:

"We know we are successful if we live so that we qualify for, receive, and know how to follow the spirit. When we have done our very best we may still experience disappointments but, we will not be disappointed in ourselves. We can feel certain that the Lord is pleased when we feel the spirit working through us. Peace, joy, and hope are available to those who measure success properly."

Today includes:
-Sunday session of conference.
-an Easter picnic on Antelope Island.
-pondering the words of the prophets.

Happy Easter.

Wishing that instead of going to work tomorrow..

.. I could pick something off of my adventure list. Maybe a couple somethings.. or three.

Is this the place I brag about my husband??

After a bad day, I came home to a surprise dinner around a campfire in our backyard.. all while watching the sunset. It erased everything bad that had happened to me that day and left me laughing and happy. I love that about Jared. How he has the ability to erase and always make me laugh. (thank you, mr.)

Happy list

Here is my happy list from last week & this week so far:

-grocery shopping with Jared
-new goals
-Jared & I waking up early to eat breakfast together before work
-making cookies at work.
-Cafe Rio (yum) and the Jordan River Temple to do sealings.
