Mariner's Game

Chris won tickets from his work to a Mariner's game. He got 4 of them so we took a couple friends with us. We had a blast! The weather was great and our seats were awesome. I've never been so close to a baseball game before and it made it so much more exciting than being in the nose bleeds. I actually followed the game instead of staring off into space. 

Our awesome view

This has never been a problem before. 

Awww....precious

Eye Candy

I'm still trying to figure out why the Mariner's mascot is a moose. Doesn't make any sense to  me.

Detroit player in their dug out. Chris was cheering for them.

"I LOVE BASEBALL". I look a little too excited.

Alki Beach

There was one weekend full of beautiful weather. Chris and I took full advantage of it and went to Alki Beach in Seattle to soak up some Vitamin D. We had a blast just laying on a blanket on the sand and later we were able to grab some yummy fish and chips. We will definitely be going back especially since we discovered rent-able bike surrey's. So fun!

Chris loves his Diet Squirt and naps

I like that you can see my arm that's taking the picture in my sunglasses.

Mmmm.....food.

The Ballet

A couple weeks ago Chris and I went to a ballet. He has been to a lot of ballet's before but this was my first time going to a legitimate ballet performance. It was pretty neat. Things like that always make me wish I could dance. We saw "Carmina Burano" and "Apollo". Carmina Burano had a full on choir that sang and it was incredible. I also found it really fun that the music was performed by a live orchestra. It was amazing!

An Attitude of Gratitude

Lately I have been finding myself slipping slowly into an attitude of INgratitude. I am not sure why or when this madness started but it's time to put an end to it. I am constantly finding myself saying, "I need this" or "I want that." It's awful! I am so incredibly blessed with what I have. I find that making a list of all the things I have and am grateful for can help me become a more grateful person. Please note: this list is in no particular order and does not contain everything I am grateful for- blogger doesn't have enough space for the list in its entirety.

my family

Aren't they incredible? I am so blessed to be apart of such an amazing family. Never in my life have a I met a more fun, loving group of people. I can't express how much I miss living close to them but I find great comfort in knowing that I get to be with them FOREVER!

my amazing, loving, charming, handsome husband

How did I get so lucky to find this amazing man? Heavenly Father sure knew what He was doing when He led us to each other. I am living, walking, breathing proof that good things come to those who wait.

the gospel

I don't know what I would do without it. 

my job

I love that I get paid to do something I love doing. Who wouldn't?

my calling

I feel so blessed to be working with the youth. They are important and precious individuals. They have already taught me more than I feel I could ever teach them. Someday I hope to be as faithful and as loving as they are.

my apartment

Chris and I couldn't ask for a better place to live. We know, without a doubt, that this is where we are supposed to be. Not only is our apartment big, clean, in a great location and in a great ward- it is just minutes away from this:

my health

Throughout my life I have been fortunate enough to have good health. I suffer from a few headaches/migraines (and that is on the mend because I've been seeing a chiropractor) but other than that I have nothing to complain about. 

my nieces

Ok, really? Aren't these two just adorable? They bring so much joy to my life. I can't mention my nieces without also mentioning my sister and brother-in-law who brought them into this world. I look up to them and their great example. I hope someday to be as good of a parent as they are and to have as cute of kids. 

food

Food has been there with me through the good times and the bad. Whenever I need someone, food is always there. I am grateful for its delicious, sustaining support.

humor

There is nothing I love more than a good laugh.

That completes my list for right now. IF I am ambitious I will do this every week or at least every month.

JOY BLOCKS

I made these blocks for Christmas (with the help of my dad) and gave them away as gifts to a few of my friends and family. I also kept one for myself because I thought it turned out cute :)

HELP!!!

Ok friends. I am having a conflict with my hair. I'm to the point where I need to get it cut again. I would like to try something different from how I've had it for the past little bit but I just can't decide how to get it cut. I've gathered a few photos of some hair cuts I like. Now I just need you to vote on which one. I'm scared out of my mind to go this short but I've been wanting to do it for awhile so it's time to suck it up and get it done!

Here they are:



Yes, this is in fact Alice Cullen from the Twilight Saga. I think her hair is absolutely adorable.


I think this hair cut is so sassy and cute!!

Okay so those are the pictures. Now time for your input!! PLEASE!!! Oh and say whether or not I should color my hair too :) Thanks ya'll.
