My Latest Obsessions

Ok, Monsters are not a late obsession for me, they're a "5-years-and-counting" obsession. But they helped me get through my first 7-week internship...and I'm inviting them to my next 8-week internship. I know they're bad for me, but my justification is I don't drink soda all the time. Unless that soda comes from a certain Costco, which comes with a certain Polish Sausage, for a whopping $1.50! Then yes, I drink soda.

Shawn and I go through shows like...movies. We watch back-to-back episodes until it's over. So right now, it is "The Big Bang Theory". At first I hated it, because all they talk about is nerdy, chemistry-physics-biology mumbo-jumbo. But then I realized...that's what I'm married to! So I gave it another try and it's actually really funny, but we both agree that Leonard (the guy in the picture on the right) is so annoying you just want to punch him in the face!

And finally, my all time life obsession: Sleeping In. Knowing I don't have early morning obligations is probably the most liberating feeling to me. I COULD get up early enough to run some errands, clean up the house, do some laundry (HA!) or I COULD stay in bed and make all of that wait a few more hours. I'm holding on to my "Sleeping In" for as long as I can...until we have kids someday and I start calling 8AM sleeping in! Gross.

Mr. Snowman

He's just a baby, but maybe he'll be bigger next time...

Fall Colors!

Last year I didn't get to decorate for Fall really, so I took advantage of it this year :)

Shawn's Golden Birthday

This year I got Shawn a pinata for his birthday - a hula girl :)


This is all that's left of her now...


Mom's sneaky present for Shawn reppin' UVU

I made Shawn's new favorite dinner for his birthday - Shrimp scampi, bread with butter and rosemary, and olive oil and balsamic vinegar :)

Scuba Certified!

We turned our short break in between semesters into a weekend Arizona trip so we could finish Shawn's scuba certification. He did his lessons in December but he needed to do his checkout dive at the lake. He did awesome and now we're excited to go scuba diving together! We just don't know when!

One Year Anniversary Dinner

I can't believe we've been married for a year already! It feels like it was just yesterday! We went to Macaroni Grill for our anniversary and it's one of Shawn's favorite restaurants now - maybe that will convince him to take me out to dinner more! We're a little sad we didn't get to go anywhere or do anything cool for our first anniversary, but we'll make up for it when we're done with school :) I love you Shawn!

Easter

For a cute little Easter surprise, Shawn got me a cat palm tree and some goodies. He arranged everything so nicely, including gifts from our moms haha
My sneaky Easter bunny
I decided to make the fruit salad a sea-faring adventure
