Dinner for 2

A few nights ago, I came home from work to this:

Ecclectic? Yes, but I LOVED it! I have a pretty darn awesome husband....So awesome, he even bought these:

A "Better than Whatever" and "Ultimate Brownie" cupcakes from The Cocoa Bean .  Truly a treat! you should try them out! See? Awesome husband :D

4th of July 2010

So Heath and I spent the 4th of July doing quite a few things:

We started by heading to the Farmer's Market & the Center Street attractions with our good friend Tiffany!!

While we were there we walked through a car show, they had some pretty sweet cars there! We each picked "our" car

"Heath's" Jaguar

"Tiffany's" Porche

"My" Bentley :)

All three of us at the car show!

Then we headed down to see the rest of the shops on Center Street & got some lunch while we were there! There were a lot of great places, but we decided on this Peruvian stand, got some Kabobs and some tamales and most importantly INCA COLA, hahaha tastes like bubble gum, or Big Red--if you're familiar ;)

We wrapped up the evening by watching the fireworks from just north of the Provo Temple! We even saw someone get proposed to! It was a beautiful evening!

Thanks to Stadium of Fire for providing the fireworks! We sure are lucky to live in the United States of America! What a great country we live in!

RAIN!

So last night I was pleasantly surprised to have a nice little thunderstorm pass through Provo, Thunder & Lightning included!

Now mind you, these are nothing like the summer thunderstorms back in Oklahoma---which I miss starting about every May through August....But it was a nice little piece of home  :)

It was pretty stinking dark, but here's a shot from Heath & my bedroom window!

Golfing!

So, I've been trying to learn how to golf as of late....Heath is teaching me, thanks to my father-in-law's donation of a set of clubs he made :)  Today Heath and I went HERE

We did some practicing on the driving range....but I'm pretty sure I'm getting better with each time! Obviously a far cry from professional, but I'm starting to actually enjoy it! Just gotta get more consistent I guess.... But it's been a lot of fun so far!

PS: After, we even bought me my own golf glove! A little Michael Jackson, but it makes me feel like I know what I'm doing :D

Design. Vol 7

This volume, Family Rooms.

For me, a family room needs to be comfortable, coordinated and clean. It's where you spend time with the family, unwind after a long day and entertain guests.

I like clean lines and comfortable furniture. A must in my future family room. Here are some of my picks from BHG.

A classic look, a little country.

I like the fireplace and the clean colors.

Bright, contemporary yet not too out of control for my personal style.

Law School Visits

So Heath starts law school this fall. To decide where to go we made a few visits to out of state schools to make a more educated decision.

We started with California in February--we were accepted to UCLA and USC--UCLA was our favorite choice. It was a gorgeous campus! Full of gothic architecture:

Next came the University of Texas-Austin. Not gonna lie, we liked the idea of being closer to my parents in good ole Oklahoma. Plus Austin is an awesome town! Full of music, green space and wonderful people. The school was great too!

Last but not least, we headed to Charlottesville, Virginia to check out the University of Virginia. What a beautiful area! the Shenandoah Valley is GORGEOUS!! No lie. And so was the campus.

It was fun to get to travel around the country. So many wonderful places and opportunities! We finally made our decision and as it turns out, we're going to be staying here in good ole Provo, UT for the next three years! We're really excited about the opportunities BYU has to offer us + my current job + a scholarship = we're feeling great about things!

from here

And since we're going to be here for 3 more years at least, we're going to be moving at the end of May to a larger apartment....I'll take pictures when we move in!

Graduation!!

So Heath graduated 2 weeks ago! He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Accounting with a minor in Psychology! I am so proud of him! And he is so relieved to be done for the semester. Time to rest up for law school in the fall! Here are some pictures from his biiiig day!!
