Rise

Wow. That is all I can say. Last night I watched one of the best movies I have ever seen. That is not an understatement, I seriously LOVED The Dark Knight Rises. I could not have been more pleased with the ending of such an incredible trilogy. I was on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time. I won't go into details because I do not want to spoil the movie for others who have not yet seen it. But really, everything about it was amazing. The acting was spectacular, and at many points I felt that I could've been witnessing something from real life instead of just a scene from a movie. I don't even know what else to say. My mind was blown....

Also, I was kind of disappointed at how we were pretty much the only ones who dressed up. We saw about ten other people, but that was it. Oh well, we still looked awesome.

PS. Michael Caine is incredible. 

updating.

okay for reals. I have not posted in a while. I'm sorry 'bout that. Anywayssssss, so sunday was my 21st birthday! Woot woot. It was a pretty good day, I got red toms from my hubby, and a lot of birthday money :) And I get "second birthday" this weekend when we go to vegas! Can't wait. Today I finally spent more time with Megan, we went shopping and she bought me birthday lunch at Kneader's (which is delicious). I also bought a lot of cute birthday clothes with my birthday money.

Also, Chauncey got a job! At L3 communications. He starts August 6th, and he will be working the swing shift (4 to midnight). We are so excited, I feel like everything is falling into place, we are very very blessed. Other than that nothing has really changed. We have just been enjoying the summertime of no school...So yeah! I will try to post more often.

So I know I posted already today, but I just wanted to say that I have the best husband in the world. All these weddings have been reminding me of our wedding day, and every moment since then. I truly do have an amazing husband, and I am so grateful for him. Last night around 11, Chauncey looked up at me and said "you look so beautiful right now". This confused me because my hair was piled up on my head in a messy bun, I didn't have any make up on and I was wearing sweats. But I could tell he meant it by the look on his face, these are the moments that make me so happy, the ones I live for. He's so good to me.

Anyways, I just wanted to share that. Thanks for reading!

Sewing Project #4

Oh hey. So today I didn't have work, and I had the urge to sew something. So I was looking online for things to inspire me, when I saw this. I have been having a problem with my sewing desk being organized, so I was so excited to start this project. I didn't follow the tutorial exactly. For example, I used batting to reinforce the pockets and the backing. Mine is also slightly smaller with a different design. At first I was worried it wasn't going to turn out, otherwise I would have taken pictures along the way. But here is the finished product, and I love it!

I used part of a hanger to hang it up, The hanger is white to match the white in the fabric. The fabric was leftover from a friends wedding present.

Anyways, If you love to sew and want to make one, I would suggest heading over to Expect Moore's Blog and check out her tutorial. Like I said, mine is slightly different, but her tutorial helped me out a lot!

Okay, thanks for reading and have a marvelous monday!

weddings, graduations and more weddings.

Oh hey. So we just got back from Vegas, it was a blast. We went because Chauncey's sister, Brittany, graduated from nursing school. One of my good friends, Eeerin, also got married that weekend. So we went to Brittany's pinning ceremony thursday, and to my friends wedding on friday. It was a really busy weekend, but overall it was fun. We love going to Vegas and visiting family, and visiting all my good friends from high school was a big plus, since I usually don't see them. So because I was dumb and didn't use my camera at all, I will use some of my friend, Kelli's photos from the weekend. Thanks for taking such awesome pictures Kelli!

I look kinda tired in this one, but that's okay, it's still cute :)

So yeah, that was a fun night. Now I have 2 good high school friends married, and another one getting married in just 11 days! Crazy... Anyways, love you girls!

So yeah, fun and busy weekend, now back to our normal lives. I hope everyone has a miraculous monday :)

What's goin' on

Oh hey. Wow has it been awhile. I apologize. Between school ending, work and all the other stuff that's been happening I haven't had time for the blog. Anyways, here's what has been happening in our lives :)


-Chauncey graduated! Yay! (for those of you who don't know, he graduated in mechanical engineering from the University of Utah.) He was even on the dean's honor list, which was a nice unexpected surprise :)

See that skirt? I totally made that, i stayed up til 1:30 in the morning the night before finishing it. My first piece of clothing made all by myself :)

-I work A LOT more now that I am out of school. Five days a week. It's good, and hopefully this means they'll make me a server soon.

-Chauncey has been very busy looking for jobs, hopefully he will find one soon. We are looking all over the country, not just in Utah. So i'm kinda excited because if we get a job out of state, it'll mean a new adventure for us, but I'm also worried it will be far away from our families. We are used to seeing them so often, and if we live far away that will definitely change.

So that's kinda it for now. I'm really busy with sewing projects, I can't say what they are yet, i'll post pictures when they are done. :) Anyways, have an awesome monday!

little notes

Dear hubby,
I love our dinosaur picture, we are awesome. I cannot wait for our celebratory date tonight! yay for school being over. I love you <3

Dear school,
So glad you're over. And to my Spanish professor: in the end, you turned out to be okay. But you should still have more respect for your students.

Dear work,
I'm sure i'll be seeing you more now that school is over, and I am actually looking forward to it, especially for not having as many closing shifts :)

Dear family,
I cannot wait to see all of you at Chauncey's graduation, i'm so excited!
