5. 10am- Good morning! Jensen and I have church late on Sundays so at 10am we're usually still in bed :)

6. dinner- Breakfast for dinner!

7. button- This is probably my favorite shirt. I love the pattern and the lace on the collar and the little gold buttons.

8. sun- It was a super cloudy day. The only sun I saw peaked out from the clouds right before it set.

9. front door- This is not my front door. It's from a house Jensen and I passed as we were going on a walk around our neighborhood.

10. self portrait- Hello.

11. makes me happy- Heart shaped cookies and Jensen.

12. Inside my closet- This is the best closet I've ever had. It has a tall pole for all my dresses and built in shoe shelves.

14. heart- Happy V day!

15. phone- I also didn't take a picture of a phone so here's Jensen and me again!

16. something new- Jensen got me this shirt for Valentine's day. If any of you watch the office, April wore this same shirt on the Valentine's day episode. Funny!

17. time- My Papaw and Granny when they met. They were only 14! They got married when they were 17, and were married for 60 years before Papaw passed away.

18. drink- Bright eyed and blueberry from Jamba Juice. Yum.

21. a fave photo of you- Such a happy day!

22. where you work- My desk at Five Star.

23. your shoes- I think these shoes are my favorite.

25. green- Pigeon asleep on a green blanket.

26. night- Spent the night cuddling with Jensen and watching The Office.

28. money- Some change on my dresser.

29. what you're listening to- Phoenix Pandora station. I have this playing in my car non-stop lately.

The end!

Scaredy Cat

Pigeon is not a fan of the vacuum. When I vacuum she usually runs and hides under the bed in my room. Yesterday when I cleaned the house she hid in the bed instead.

Sleepover!

Suz's husband is out of town this week so she came over last night for a sleepover! It was a lot of fun to spend more time together than we usually get too. We ate lots of food, played dress up (you're never too old for dress up), and watched girly movies together.

It's not a sleepover without playing with makeup.

I couldn't let Jensen miss out on the fun.

Hope you all had as good a weekend as I did!

New Blog URL

Orange Bubble

Jensen and I went to the Canyons to go skiing and snowboarding yesterday. It was a ton of fun! I fell down quite a bit yesterday and as a result today I'm really sore.

Here's our view from the cabriolet we rode from the parking lot to the ski hill. There's a bunch of apartments and hotels right at the hill. The first time we came I was amazed at how many buildings and businesses are right at the hill because most hills are pretty isolated from everything besides the occasional cabin.

The first lift we rode was the Orange Bubble Express. It's my favorite for multiple reasons. The most obvious reason is because it's a big orange bubble. The second reason is because it's so bright inside it makes me feel like it's the middle of the summer. It also makes me feel like I'm on the Jetsons.

Some of the runs we went on had a lot of these little groves of trees. I thought they were so pretty.

Weekend

I spent the weekend sewing, napping, letting the dishes pile up, and watching way too many episodes of Say Yes to the Dress. It makes me want to go buy a super fancy wedding dress and get married again (to Jensen of course). No President's Day off for me, but I am off tomorrow! I feel some more sewing and a few more episodes of Say Yes to the Dress coming on... Did you have a good weekend?

Instagram Valentines

I was one lucky girl on Valentine's Day! Jensen took me out to eat, brought me a box of chocolates, and got me a really cute shirt on Monday! On Tuesday he sent me flowers to work! We decided to go out on Monday instead because we both worked late on Tuesday. We went to Texas Road House and ate a ton of food. We still have two full boxes of leftovers after I ate some of it yesterday. On Valentine's Day I made dinner and we spent the night in. After dinner and dessert we watched Top Gun, the first movie we ever watched together, in bed under the fort I made. (Top Gun was also the first movie my parents watched together years ago at the movie theater).

I'm so glad to have Jensen to spend every love day from here to forever with!

Love Basket

Here's what I made for Jensen for Valentine's Day. He said no presents, but I like holidays and presents too much not to get him something. I think it's a great last minute Valentine's Day gift idea, and pretty inexpensive. I just got some of Jensen's favorite treats, a few small useful items to fill a basket with, and a card I made. To make it a little more fun I made stamped strips of scrapbook paper with phrases relating to Valentine's Day for each item in the basket and tied it to the items with a pink bow.

here's the list of what I put in Jensen's basket and their V-day label:
- bbq potato chips: you're smokin
- hot hands: hot for you
- peanut m&ms: sweet treats
- IBC root beer: love potion
- lint roller: lint isn't lovely
- car air freshener: scent of love
- dewrinkle spray: smooth shirts for your smooth moves

As you can see most of the labels I made are super cheesy, but it was a lot of fun to make!

Hope you all have a great Valentine's Day!
