just a hint of style please

Bedroom

Office
Dining Room

so... since we will only be residents in this lovely town home for 2 short months
I didn't see the purpose in getting it all decorated to my full liking, plus it's a lot more square footage then we are used to ha ha ...
so it'll just wait until we get into our new and more long term apartment... but here is a little peek of some light decorating I did do.

Heritage Hitters

And it begins.... It's that time again

Yup... here my first week and I get to cheer on
Matt & Jeff playing there first softball league game..
Just from the Heritage Hitters first game they already seem to be a pretty dang good team !!
The players consist of a group of men in the Heritage ward, who in my opinion are such a delight to watch play ..
Watching Jeff play again
was sort of like old times.. when I would be out on a hot St.George day with mom & dad watching him pitch for Pine View High, but this time I knew a little more of what was going on.




































The boys had a double hitter that night ... and man was it cold and windy!!
The first game we won
The second game.. not so much
But we had a blast though and that's all that counted











I'll keep this post updated on how the team is doing from week to week, stay tuned ......
3/26

Texan it ...

Alright ya'll we've made the move... all 2o + hours of driving !!
Matt got into Salt Lake at 1am Friday March 19th . We had our last breakfast in Utah at the Egg in the City, and lunch at Este pizza.
Got caught with expired plates ..ugh.. yelled at lame ace credit unions.. packed up all the stuff we could possibly fit in my car and we were on our way !!!

First stop - St. George
didn't take any pictures because the camera was packed so tightly in the car (sorry ya'll) but we spent some time with the family which was lovely

Second stop- Gallop, New Mexico
thank you again Jeff the Comfort Suite was so needed and appreciated
a heafty 5 gas stops in total
Then once you near the Texas border prepare for the flatness !!


I can't believe Matthew made this trip all by himself pulling a boat filled with our things going a shocking 50 miles per hour ....
I vowed to never drive this trip ever again !!

-So this is what you will see .... a few staggering plateaus and lots of Indian reservation homes /octagon dwellings

-These are pictures from Matts solo trip when there was much more snow.. which I think made it more scenic then what I experienced ...

Matthew was such a trooper and drove the entire way alone & when he drove out with me too...
(Hey it wasn't like I didn't offer to drive !!)
I'm so glad to finally be back with my Matthew and grateful we made it okay ...

send'n love

have you seen these stamps floating around...

we'll they caught my eye the other day and it got me thinking ....

yes.. thinking scary huh !!

these lovely stamps came out recently being Valentines and all, i assume ... i instantly thought, why do we give into these silly made up holidays ??

I believe we should appreciate our loved ones everyday, cliche I know ... but i'm serious.

We should also appreciate the men and women we once loved or thought we loved .... I know I am so grateful and appreciative of every guy I shared sweet time with ...really we learn how to love, what love is and what love isn't from all those experiences ....

I really began to reflect and ponder from just looking at this silly picture on the

stamp ...

I thought how are we sending love each day ?

How do i send love to others so they will be reseptive of it ?

Who writes letters anymore??

How often do we use a stamp in efforts to reach out to a loved one ??..

From this stamp I also thought how a letter gives a more intimate, personal touch than just an e-mail or text ...which we could use more of that in this techno generated world of ours!

anyways thought i would share some of me ... crazy thoughts

Happy Valentines ...

but my real hope is we can all appreciate love..

more often than just this one day !!

Photos by Steve

Steve was so... so kind to take a few photos of me for resume purposes

Matt was stand in for lighting set up.. but I thought they turned out pretty sweet ..
If you wanna check out more of Steven Walters work... look to the side where i have "things i love " and you'll see a link to his website.. it's amazing !!

'64 boat

Introducing .... the 1964 Lake Swan Allan Jervis edition

Yes we are now owners of this vintage beauty ... it was a gift given to Matthew
funny story about this boat ... it was given to us months ago and to be honest I hated the idea of having this boat ...

1. we had nowhere to store this boat

2. it looked really hideous under the tarp

3. was not fond of having to drag this thing to Texas !!

BUT ..Matthew cleaned it up yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised ... in fact im pretty stoked to be able to one day take this lil thing out on the water .. (if it runs ha ha !!)

Matthew has to put a little more work into it but... i will admit i was wrong about wanting to get rid of it ....

I'm sure we will get stopped out on grape vine lake by peeps who will appreciate its beauty if not it's cool ... I'll still feel pretty cool cruise'n in it...with my hot boo boo

today i was born ...

.... 23 Years ago... in these years .. I've danced, sung, laughed, cried and kissed my share of boys then been crushed by them all ... but I couldn't ask for a better 23 yrs ... I've bloomed into a mam or a miss .. (as so the boy at the grocery store refered me to) but none the less a woman !
through it all ... I've learned heeps and have grown heeps and bounds. So what does one do in celebration ?... since i love my special day so much i was fortunate enough to get to do what i love at work and then came home to a husband who had cleaned the entire 590 square feet of our humble abode .

then got all fancied up for a wonderful dinner at the New Yorker downtown with my stud of a man ( oh the best stake matt and I have ever had ) Finished the night off with dessert at CPK red velvet ... if you please haha my fav.
23 i feel is going to be a fabulous year for me .... ( if I make it be )... i see a 5K in the future maybe enroll in dance classes we'll see ... thank you my sweet family for the wonderful messages on my vmail ... and all who wished me a happy happy it never gets old ....
