A Little More Like Home

I FINALLY got pictures of our new apartment in Rexburg. I love it. Its much roomier than our house in Walla Walla. 

My Nephew Mack helpin Mark hang my curtains :) 

Living Room.. 

Kitchen (Isn't our new table cute?)

Notice the Scentsy plug in below.. Love it. Everyone get some from my beautiful friend Joanna Bennett. (yes that was totally a shout out) ha. 

Our Room. We eventually will repaint the giant gold mirror.. and hang it. But for now it leans... O and my mom and dad gave us two pretty dressers. Thanks guys your the best :) 

Our pretty Pottery Barn bed. (Cali. King.. Its GINORMUS) love it. And my pretty bed spread i fell in LOVE with from West Elm. ( :  

I really love the picture in the picture above. My parents gave it to me when I was in high school. Its called "Singing Butler" by Jack Vettriano. It depicts a man and women dancing on a storm-swept beach. The people around them have umbrellas and are being tossed around by the storm.. but the couple just keeps on dancing- not paying attention to life's storm because they have each other- and thats all they need. 

I've always loved that picture, and it was my goal to find someone i could 'dance through life's storm' with one day.

Im glad I did. 

A Little More "excited"

Were coming HOME tomorrow!! Right now I sit in our tiny house in Walla Walla Wa, surrounded by boxes. I will miss this cute little town- with its cute down town shops and the great weather and the pretty grape fields here in wine country.

But I wont miss it too much! Bring on the eight hour drive! I cant wait for the snow covered town of rexburg! Im thinking of our cute new apartment that my mom has been cleaning for me for the past 4 hours. Im excited to be by my favorite people in the world, be back where I belong, to be surrounded by that special spirit that BYU-I has to offer. I cant wait..

Hello Idaho.

CHRISTMAS

This was Mark and I's first Christmas together, it was FABULOUS. Im sooo lucky to have him! This year we went to Mark's parents house in Spokane. They were so nice! Its great to have family that you love to spend the Holidays with. Here are a few pictures of the last month!

Rizzo in her Rodoulph outfit my mommy got her :) Our 'new and improved' Christmas Tree
Every year at my house the Elves leave christmas pj's on our beds.. but at Marks house Marks grandma makes PJ's and gives them to everyone to open on Christmas eve.. Its really fun to have new traditions.. here are our PJ's

Rizzo LOVED her chew toy... thanks mom

I made Mark a Cardinals Blanket.. He liked it

McCall and I made Cookies for Santa :)

Marks mom makes everyone stockings.. she made me one.. can you guess what one it is? Cute eh?

(it was the crown one.. for all of you who couldn't figure it out) We got Rizz some diapers to wear while she was there. Because.. as hard as we try.. she PEES everywhere when new people walk into the room.. she gets WAY to excited about life. They were life savers.. dosen't she look funny?

We had such a great Christmas- I hope you all did too! Posts about New Years coming soon :)
