"Buggy" each other with love

So my BYU roommate introduced me to the word "bug" to describe something annoying. If someone we knew was being a combo of dumb, annoying, rude, a jesabel, and arrogant... The word "bug" spoke for itself. Chris and I tease about it and its an inside joke so for Valentines Day, I found this bug and filled it with goodies. We now hide it to "bug" each other as a little reminder of our love.
Here's the bug in Chris' shoe

Ha, in Chris' jacket.

Chris hid it in my closet handing on the hangers.

And I hidout here in his side table by his bed and took this picture for him to find it.

We've his it a ton other times, today I found it under my pillow. Hmm where should I hide it next

Jazz game vs. Celtics

I got chris and I tickets all the way before Christmas for his bday. We finally got to go!

Their team is totally different now without the coach, Williams, and theo be guys. They played well tonight but didn't win, it was close. Either way it was fun with my hubby getting me from work and going up to see the game

FINALLY, instructions for the magnetic board frame

Here are the pictures from the magnetic board I made. Chris gave me the board from Robert's Craft for Christmas and I was so excited to put it together. I picked out the colors tan and blues to go with the rest of our apartment. I found the paper at Hobby Lobby and think I covered the wooden frame with 10 sheets of paper.

I first decided what order I wanted the paper to be in and the width that I wanted it. I never did any strip the same size, but you can always do that or different shapes. You can also paint the frames or put a wooden finish or do watever as well.

You can put the paper on many ways, but I would make the paper the width I wanted it to, then lay down the paper in the right location and form it to the frame then cut it in the right spots.

Here you can see how I'm folding it in the right spot and about to use the modge podge on it.


You can see the weird triangle shape it makes. I didn't make rectangles, this is how it turned out for most strips when I laid them down. I then put the Modge on which acts like a glue and gloss coating. I did not put the coat on top because I was goingn to spray it with a finish you can buy for a few dollars at a craft store.

I would put the paper in place and would work my way around the frame. If you want the frame to be symetrical you can always start in both corners to make it matching.

Tadah!!!!! And here it is!!! I lastly put a big 'P' in the corner which I made with vinyl with the cricut. I love the board. I taught our Sunday School lesson with it last week and it can hold picturs, crafts, organize things, etc.

BYU Food MADNESS

Umm, this was a gift at our bridal shower. Just to say, Sister Shirts and Sister Wright know me too well. It even came with BYU chips I guess you can get at Day's Market.

Cosmo is on it!!! I remember I registered for this at the Provo Bed Bath and Beyond and I wanted to register for the whole BYU section at the store.. they had long chairs, slippers, mugs, platters, sandals everything! But Chris told me one or two things which I'm glad he said because then we could register for other items.

So yummy with the chips and dip! Again these BYU chips are at Days Market and even though they are blue, no they don't taste any different. So yummy! We've used this at BYU get togethers

Back up to Christmas one last time

I found a ton of Christmasy pictures. I'll just highlight a few. Here is the gingerbread house that we made. I didn't put the one up from last year because it was not that good (I didn't do one with Chris that's why). I put it on our cake stand which made it look so good!


Our Christmas Tree. Dang I don't know if I took a pic of the whole tree, but it looked good.

Here we are at the ward Christmas party when we were with Activities.

"... People will never forget how you made them feel"

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel"
I felt touched as I saw this as someones facebook status. He was one of the byu sports players and definetly the kindest one I met over the years. Just as I remember his kindness in the few times I met him, I hope others remember for me for the best as well.
I believe as we act the way we want to be treated and are leaders as we live our lives, we can be those solid examples for ppl to look up to and feel inspired so they can live their lives that way as well. Habits can be formed as we set goals of how we want to improve ourselves.
Remember who you are and reflect how you want to be treated and how you want to be remembered.

Second Valentine's Day Together

It is so hard being sneaky while living with the person you are trying to surprise. The night before Valentines I sneakily went to our car and decorated it with hearts on the inside of the windows. He was surprised to see it the day but since the windows were so cold that they fell off. Oh well. On Valentine's morning I had everything ready to lay out, Chris left and I spread these large Smarties (he loves this candy) all over our room with reasons why I love him on it. I also made that sign I blogged about already and put it up and decorated the rest of the room as well.
This is the cute watch he picked out for me :) I love it, it's so cute!!! I think he did a great job in picking it out all by himself. He was so sneaky and said he needed the car manual under the seat... and there was a heart shaped box for me with the watch!!! Also roses too which I love :)During lunch I txt Chris to go to his car and he found a pair of shoes that he's wanted too as well.

My parents sent us Valentine's Day treats as well. This is a turtle with chocolate, carmel, and pecans. I love it! This went quick.

I thought this was so cute as well, Amanda from work made these cute butterflies and had rolos in them.
