New Apartement

-
Because I had to be out of the beginning of May and Isaac gets to stay in his place till the end of May, I have moved into our new apartment early. YIPPEE!! I love moving into new places (not the moving part, but the new place part). I just wish I had all my wedding gifts now (I am so thankful for the early wedding gifts and bridal shower gifts!).
I really do like our new place. It's small, but it has two bedrooms (office and bedroom), kitchen, living room and bathroom. Isaac's sister-in-law's brother gave us his couch, TV stand and some other odds and ends. Isaac was so gracious to bring his HD TV over too. Nicole, my old roommate, was getting rid of a lot of her stuff too, so she sold me (for a great deal!) her kitchen table and chairs along with her outdoor patio table and chairs, microwave, portable bed (Isaac and I thought it would be a good idea to keep our king sized bed at his place... less temptation), and organizational stuff. We ran to the DI (thrifts store) to get some kitchen stuff, only because we don't want to spend money on gifts we might get. 
Quirks about the new place: 
We live right next to the road, street light, and cemetery (the cemetery part I actually kind of like). Also, the walls are paper thin. We can hear every move of our downstairs neighbors, I can only image what me must sound like, it's got to be about 10 times worse for them.Our stove is super tiny. The cabinets have sliding doors, and are not quite deep enough. All if our lighting is florescent. 
I'll put up pictures soon, still putting the place together.

Valentine's Day 2020

As a family of four, Valentine's Day celebrations are not the same as they were 10 years ago when I celebrated my first Valentine's Day with the love of my life.  This year was spent with my daughter.  We saw the new Sonic movie, painted pottery and got some cookies at our favorite cookie shop.  Later that night was spent making dinner, and turning in early because well, the hubs and little boy were both miserable while battling off colds and sickness.   I got to thinking, as someone who only grew up decorating for Christmas, are there really all that many people who go big when it comes to other holidays?  I have a cute little banner I put up for each major holiday, but struggle with knowing when to put it up and when to take it down. And how much is too much?  This year I saw cute family dinners with all kinds of decked out decor, and that was the first time it ever occurred to me to have a family valentines dinner.  I wonder what other ways I hav...

Four our honeymoon, Isaac and I took a four day Carnival cruise out of Long Beach, California to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. The first day we got up super early to drive from Logan, UT aaaaal the way down to Salt Lake City. One of Isaac's old mission companions was having a baby blessing. It was super awesome because after they invited us over to bbq and they also had some Hatian food (Isaac missed it very much) which was actually pretty yummy. The first day we got up super early to drive from Logan, UT aaaaal the way down to Salt Lake City.

In Vegas we decided to spend waaaay too much money at the Hard Rock Cafe (I really wanted to go because I had never eaten t...

Two weeks away and I turn 27 (I don't actually feel that old since my husband just turned 25. And I don't feel like he is actually that old since he is just finishing is last year of undergrad school. And unlike Utah, where a lot of guys serve missions so they graduate school later, being from Arizona I'm used to college graduates being younger. Result? My, what would you call it,  age that I actually feel is around 23 or 24 years. THREE weeks and a couple of days and I will be in ARIZONA!! I'm so ExCiTeD to see my family and friends! Not looking forward to the HOT weather, but it might actually be a nice break from here since it's suppose to be in the 50's by the time we leave. There are some things in Utah that are growing on me. The weather. Weird, right? I can't really figure it out myself. Normally I LOVE the heat, but I've been retaining a lot of body heat lately, so I am loving the cooler weather. Maybe it's because of the RA or the medici...
