Friday night blogging.

I feel like I never have a point when I blog. Then I think of things and then the post becomes a disaster. So I apologize.

A few weekends ago, my husband and I took a trip down to The Post. (only the best thrift store ever) And I found this baby. But, I thought it needed a little something, so this was my attempt at making it look cute. Its to hold all our important papers and mail...yeah right haha. It will probably just get filled with junk! 

I stole that cute flower off of a card my gma made...I don't think
I could make something that cute!! 

 Then I made these delicious chocolate dipped chocolate chip cook dough! It was pretty easy to make, and there are no eggs in the recepe, so this is cookie dough that you can actually eat and not feel too bad about! I found the recipe off of pinterest. Of course.

deeeelicious! 

Thankfully, I have a job. I am a surgical processor. I went to school, took some courses, did a practicum, and now I am certified. If you don't know what that is...in a nutshell we take care of a butload of stuff people don't even think of. We order supplies, distribute supplies to all of the hospital and surrounding areas, we get to clean up the bloody instruments after surgeries, we make sure all the right instruments are in the right sets for the right surgery, we make up the carts that have all of the supplies for each surgery, we package and sterilize and do about 10 million other things. Probably one of the most underrated workers I have learned. I love what I do, because I feel like I'm helping but I don't have to deal with irritable patients! It sounds like a crap job, but its great! Travis doesn't have a job at the moment, so this is our only income! Although I make pretty good money considering I sat at home taking some online courses last year. Anyways, this is a picture of some instruments they sent me home with on my first day so I could memorize the order they go in on the stringer. I threatened my husband that I would play doctor on him!

I made these ugly cheescakes. SO GOOD. 

Trying to take a picture....we are still as awkward as ever. 

Why?!

This post was ALL over the place. I really do apologize. One day I'll clean it up.

More glasses!

Some people love heels. Some people like bags. I love glasses. I have worn glasses since like the 3rd grade and I love them. Tried contacts for a year, but they just weren't my thing! I now have 8 pairs of glasses to my current prescription. I do not wear them all, but I love to change it up! ps...I order them online! That is my secret! They are WAY cheaper on the internet! Here they are! Sorry for the crap web cam pics!

New black(ish) pair! I had a pair like these, only a larger frame!
However, an arm snapped off! So I ordered the same frame, in
black/white tortoise pattern and smaller lenses to fit my face better! 

I've always wanted white glasses! These even have red swirls
on the sides! 

Yay yellow! 

At least I'm not a crazy cat lady! right? right??

Bored Sundays!

Being in a new city, in a tiny apartment and not knowing anyone has made for some pretty boring times..especially sundays.

Yesterday we managed to kill some time by going to the thrift store where I bought a sweeet letter holder for mail/papers etc and the best iron on decal ever. I can't even tell you how excited I am for this.

 Also found this beauty. I almost vomited.

We have also come to the conclusion that our new ward thinks we are inactive. Between moving, general conference, thanksgiving and visiting home, we have been to our new ward very little. The missionaries even called us at 10pm one night to set up a lesson for later on in the week! Anyways, we figured we were about due for a calling (especially if they think we are inactive...we are not!!) So when we walked into church today, a member of the bishopric told us that he would like to meet with us after the meeting. We were again hoping for nursery  primary or young men/young womens! No such luck. Turns out the calling was just for me! Not Travis...lucky man! I am now the new ward organist. I think this ward is about to quickly learn how badly this 18 year old can play the organ! But I know the more I do it, the better I will get. So this will be interesting! I should have lied when the first question the bishop asked me when we moved into the ward was "do you happen to play the organ?" I should have known that by saying yes, I was actually volunteering! I will keep you posted on all my organ-lady duties and mishaps.

Other than that...hmm
I have been working full time for the past 2 weeks training at the hospital here! I know, I know. My job sounds disgusting! It totally is, but I totally love it. There aren't very many people willing to scrub bone chunks, greasy fat, blood and other substances out of surgical tools...but I am weird and I love it! It isnt all gross though! I get to wrap all the instruments and make sure everything gets sterilized and labelled properly so that when you go in for a knee surgery, the surgeon isn't opening a rhinoplasty set! I also love all I am learning. I know the names and functions of hundreds of surgical tools! I feel pretty smart being able to know the difference between my kockers, kelleys and criles!

Side note...look at my Cuuuute husband as a child!!

Thats about it! Here are some random shots of us being bored and goofy!

This shot is old. sooo hipster haha 

He concerns me! 

Super impressed! 

Travis does not like pictures! 

Yay! Wedding pictures!

I have been waiting and nagging and waiting and nagging for the past 4 months for my wedding pictures! They are finally here! (I know, I know. My photographer was busy with other things. Like having a super cute baby girl.) Anyways! Here are a couple of my favorite shots!

First photo as husband and wife! Such a cool moment! 

So...the night before the wedding I realized I forgot to get my nails done! So theses
are stick on's from walmart! Worked out pretty good! 

My eyes look crazy green here! 

Fact: My flowers were from michaels...and my mom arranged it!
Turned out awesome and I wasn't left with a bunch of dead
flowers! In fact...they still look pretty good! 

Love this! 

I love every part of the Temple!  

It was SO hot that day! But we still managed to have a little fun! 

A random man kept walking in and out of that door...probably
thought we were nuts! 

I really like this one! 

Took lots of good pictures around Cardston! 

This was not posed! All of us in the limo Texting/Tweeting/Facebooking!
I'll have to admit, I changed my name and relationship status as soon as I
got my phone! Some might say pathetic...but I was proud!! 

I am really surprised this is the only pic with Travis doing this face. He ALWAYS
make this face! 

Look how gorgeous it was that day! 

Who doesn't love kissy pictures! 

This is the "mermaid" picture 

The limo dropped us off at the reception moments before it
started! I changed from contacts to glasses on the ride over!
My eyes were driving me crazy because I never wear
my contacts! I am sooo a glasses girl!! 

The reception was exactly how I had always pictured it. 

SO beautiful. My mom made this! The bottom 3 layers
are FAKE! I also love the table skirt. LOVE!! 

Cake eating/smashing in each others faces! 

Pink cake?! Of course! 

Off to start our new adventure! 

It does not seem like we were married all the way back in June! It was such a perfect day and I am so greatful for every moment of that day! All the craziness was worth it! And the best part? Getting sealed to my husband for all eternity! None of this "till death do us part" stuff. This is forever, and its a big deal! I am so lucky I found someone like Travis! No one will ever know how amazing he is! And he is all mine! :)
Sorry about the mushy bits! What can I say...I'm a romantic!

Thanks Nikki for the pictures!

Make up solution!

Alright, this is another Pinterest idea. I really liked this idea, but unfortunately it didn't turn out half as cute as I wanted it. This will do for now, but I'm not convinced I like it. Maybe it will get another makeover. (Did I forget to mention I started this project over and over again like 27 times? Finally I had to hide it from myself so I would stop messing around with it and making it more and more ugly!)
This is how I am solving my "tiny bathroom, no storage space" solution.
I bought a cookie sheet from the $ store and covered it with some vinyl stuff I also found there. Then I put magnets on the few makeup items I use everyday, and BAM. This is what I got!

I also added a mason jar for my brushes! And a few other things...

Have I mentioned I forgot 90% of my makeup in lethbridge
last time I was there? 

I think this will do the  job! I have tooo much stuff! 

Cinnamon Toast muffins!

Yum! Found this recipe on Pinterest (of course) was kinda sketched out, but they turned out pretty yummy!
Here is what you need:

1/3 cup melted butter/margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1 Egg
1 1/2 Cup flour
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 300. Combine all dry ingredients first, and then add the wet. Bake for 20-25 minutes. (This makes one dozen)
Once they are done, here comes the best part! The topping!
In one bowl, melt some butter/margarine, and in another bowl combine equal parts white sugar and cinnamon.
After you pull them out of the oven and they are a little bit cool, dunk the top of the muffin in the butter, and then dunk it into the bowl with the sugar/cinnamon combo to give a little extra goodness on top!

Dip in the butter! 

Dip in the sugar! 

yum! 

Oh hey box of beer outside our window. Sketchy!
