Design. Vol 3

Outside of houses. Have you ever just driven past a house and it immediately grabs your attention. I love that.

I like the big wood door and the open beams!

I really liked this door sign.Thanks HGTV for the ideas :)

Awesome.

I have the best husband in the world, because after starting my new job as a nurse I came home to this:

ILOVE FLOWERS! and he knows it :) but it's the fact that he was thinking about me that makes it that much sweeter. I love that man.

Holy awesome husband.

Update. August-type.

So here's a quick update.

In June I had a little get-together for Tiffany coming back to Provo! It was good to see a bunch of my dear friends!

The Spread....

All the girls!

We also were able to go to a plane show at the Provo Airport. Heath's grandpa flew a plane like one of the plane's there in WW2, so we went to take a look....

Outside the type of plane his grandpa flew!

We spent the 4th of July with Heath's family in SLC. It was really fun, and as usual we watched the family fireworks show--which is not that bad, but nothing to write home about. But hey, its fun.




July 15th was Heath and my 1 year anniversary! We went out for dinner at P.F. Chang's and that weekend we spent a few days at the hotel we stayed at on our wedding night--the Grand America. I love that hotel. It is so beautiful. We went swimming, we went and roamed around the Gateway mall, including the Clark Planetarium and saw the movie "Black Holes"--cool & interesting.

Heath the Weather Man

On the 14th of July I took the NCLEX (Nursing Boards)--WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! I felt horrible leaving the test, only 75 questions--I thought for sure I had failed, but on the 16th I found out that I PASSED! I am officially a Registered Nurse! I took a picture of all my studying materials:

Yikes. I'm glad to be done with this stuff, FOREVER!!

On August 3rd I started the RN Residency program at UVRMC. So far I have been loving it! It is so great to be acting as a real nurse! I have been working for the past two weeks on the medical surgical floor, and next week is the medical/renal progressive care unit. I am really excited to finally have a job and am looking forward to having a unit/floor to call my own!

Heath finished his summer classes with flying colors! He's enjoying a few weeks off before school starts. But most of all, we are really excited for BYU football to start. We've bought our reserved seats and are anxiously awaiting the first home game (and BYU v. OU). Although, Heath is definitely more ready than me! He's a true fan!

Other than that, nothing too exciting on the horizon! Although we did get the chance to get a little geocaching in the other day...after a few misses we were able to find one!

Design. Vol 2

This edition. DINING ROOMS.

Here are some fancy ways HGTV has found to spice up your dining room.

I like the color of these chairs, and I think it's a really creative idea for seating...though maybe a little awkward....

I really like the chairs, the "cushion" look.



I like the colors and chandelier. The dark/light contrast is looovley :)

I like the wainscoting in this room. love the wood floors and simplistic-chic design. modern, but not stiff or uncomfortable.

Thank you ratemyspace. I love HGTV....

Design. Vol 1

I love HGTV. Check out these pics, courtesy of ratemyspace.hgtv.com...This edition, BATHROOMS:




I love how simple it is. The color is great. However, I would like a stone counter, like granite instead of tile.

This is a cute idea for a guest/kids bath, love the tile!


I can't wait to have my own house one day!

June Travels!

June has been quite eventful for Heath and I! we were able to go see Tiffany's home-coming in California! AND we were able to finally go on my graduation trip to see Guatemala--where Heath served his mission! It was so great to see where he spent 2 years of his life serving the Lord--I have so much respect for him! It would be so hard!

Here are some pictures of our adventures!
