How to Decor??

Oh wow... I am loving my time off of school. Its been giving me a lot of time to just be care-free and focus on fun things I feel like I don't have the time to do otherwise. I just spent a good part of the day re-vamping (word?) my photography blog and I love how it turned out, so you should probably go look at it and let me know what you think!

Also... I've been thinking about sprucing up my workspace. Nothing too fancy but just giving the office a little love. Its hard because Tyler and I share our creative workspace so I can't really doll it up too much... gender neutral stuff might be the hardest part of getting married. Yes. How I would love to deck my walls in pink damask wallpaper with crystal chandeliers and my have m Barbie collection displayed on a light pink shabby chic dresser...haha wow. So here are some ideas I've found online....

Here is how I would decorate if I was uninhibited by the male species

Here is something Tyler and I could probably work in together fine for the most part

Here is what I think I will go for. Boys can handle red right?

What do you think? Any more ideas?

I'm pretty sure I want to put red patterned wallpaper on my accent wall, then hang a few shelves to display some of my photos when I meet with clients... can you get a visual? I've never been the best decorator but if I have something to guide me I can usually do just fine. I'll post some pictures if I happen to get it done anytime soon. Wish me luck!

p.s. my man loves letting me decorate, he is such a good sport considering the fact that I gave him the garage to make his own :)

A new doo :)

So when I get my hair done I usually like to go drastic. Last winter I went super dark...I held onto it all summer long which was fun, I love the dark. It felt pretty healthy and was low maintenance. Except for the fading part, it was fun.

Anyway I've slowly made the transition back to blonde, this will probably be an ongoing cycle. I love blonde because its fun and fresh looking, it feels more me as well. Here is my new doo. Very Lady Gaga, sporting the bangs and what not. Fun fun right?

'Tis the Season

I love this time of year!!

I love...

Hot Chocolate

Christmas Break (ya...right now I hate you school)

Lights

Christmas Shopping

Poinsettia Pine scentsy

Christmas Music (except that dumb Charlie Brown song, who decided that could be a Christmas song...ridiculous. Every time I hear it I turn off the radio in protest)

SNOW!!(well until I drive in it then I hate it)

Bundling up with hats, coats, scarfs, boots, gloves...

And most of all I love remembering the birth of my Savior.

Tyler finished putting up the Christmas lights tonight for the first year on our house!! They look awesome. He did so good ;) and it has been FREEZING this week but he pushed through it and put those suckers up. He is so cool...

Here is some of our Christmas spirit at our home :)

ps sorry I've been a blogging maniac lately I should be studying for finals but blogging is important too right??

Picture my Thanksgiving

Here are some (okay... a lot) of pictures that wrap up my wonderful Thanksgiving with my crazy amazing family. I love you all! I hope you get a laugh out of some of these pictures remembering what a great time we had. Love ya!!

Ode to Tyler :) 26 years and still kicking!

Okay so here is the story; my mom strongly disliked all the boyfriends I had in college and high school. I mean she really didn't like them. So when I brought Tyler along to meet her I was super nervous! She hadn't liked anyone so far and they were ok guys, so I was crossing my fingers, legs, eyes, toes, etc. praying she would like him.

Well of course she did...


She always tells him how she thinks I am super lucky I ended up with him.


She is right.


My man had his 26th birthday on December 8. My birthday is December 9th. So we have a fun couple of days celebrating together.


I love this man. He is perfect for me in every way and I still don't know how I landed such an amazing man to have forever.

He loves me so much and always has me smiling or giggling.

He is so loving and selfless. He does great things because its just who he is.

I love him and I'm so glad he is with me...forever. I'm so glad I know that I can be with him for eternity. I can't imagine living life without that knowledge.

Thanks for being born hunny!

It's Christmas Time!

Oh Thanksgiving was wonderful. Tyler and I had such a blast being in Utah with my family. I just love them. I'll post some of our family pictures we took soon. My mom and dad are the greatest, my siblings are a blast, and my nieces and nephews are the CUTEST ever. I just wanted to do a quick post to show my new counter tops that I LOVE. Tyler and his dad and grandpa put them in and I love how it turned out. Granite rocks :) Here they are! Not the best picture but you get the idea. I love them!

And here is our beautiful Christmas Tree!! Loving the costco and tai pan decorations :) now all we need is a star to put on top. I've been looking for a star and stockings for a few weeks but I'm being picky. I'll get there. Merry Christmas!
