welcome, MARCH!

whew! it's March! it's freaking me out that tanner graduates next month, and the fact that we will also be moving and packing up our sweet home. I'm not ready to leave utah!! 

we just got back from a 60th birthday celebration for my father in carlsbad. it was quite the weekend, and just what we needed. it's always a little sad coming home from beautiful rolling waves to snow though... pictures from the weekend, coming soon!

can I have all those tulips in my house right now?!^^

Laker vs. Jazz

Last night we got free tickets to the Laker/Jazz game, and we went with the McGrath's. It was fun to have a night out with friends, and it made it even better that it was free!

Change

I recently saw this on my Pinterest board, and it was just what I needed to see.

It's sometimes hard for me to remember that every day I can make a small change to become better. Life is hard, and it isn't always fair, but it's through trials, that we can become stronger. I've been trying my best to be the person that I want to be, and eventually to become, but I think even at my age I'm still too young to know exactly who that is. I'm made plenty of mistakes, and I have a lifetime ahead of me for many more, but I hope I figure out who I want to be along the way-and not just on the outside, but most importantly on the inside. 

It was a great reminder to focus more on improving myself, rather than always pulling myself down. I know that takes time... maybe even years, but I'm up for the challenge! Who's with me?

Happy Weekend!

Yay! Another weekend!

I saw this today, and it made me love Ingird even more. I thought this was so funny!

 

Lately

February has been a weird month with lots of ups and downs, but it's been pretty good for the most part. 

To start off, sorry if you're having trouble with our new web address, Blogger has been facing some difficulties redirecting!

-My good friend had her sweet baby girl, and she couldn't be more precious! Look at that hair too!

Also, it doesn't help baby hungriness when seriously all of your friends are suddenly pregnant....

-My mom sent us an adorable Valentine's Day Door hanger that we love! There's nothing better than holiday packages!

-We got to babysit our nieces Friday night while their parents went on their Valentine's Date, and I get emotional thinking about leaving them in a couple of weeks.

-My sweet friend Madeline sent me a package all the way from Florida when I was having a bad day. She knows how to cheer a girl up! (Anything involving washi tape makes me happy though...let's be real).

-When I'm bored I bake, and it's not a good thing.

-We are going on our first cruise in May to the Mexican Riviera, and of course it's all I can think about! If you have any tips, tricks, or fun things to do, please pass it my way! I also really want to go to this hidden beach!

-We have not one but 2 friends that just got engaged, and are getting married the same weekend! It's going to be the absolute best weekend ever.

-Last night I was going to surprise Tanner with a Mardi Gras date. I was so excited because I knew he would have no idea where we were going. A restaurant that I was going to buy a king cake for work was hosting a party with door prizes, a buffet, and lots of beignets. I thought it would be so fun to get some Cajun food and just experience something different! After driving twenty minutes to an office building with maybe ten people inside, we decided to leave because we felt extremelyyyyy awkward. I was so sad! But, we have something funny to laugh at now!
