House Pictures

So I know that it's March and we moved in in October, but I was on a blog-strike. Here's some pictures of the house all decorated and what-not. Kitchen pictures coming later this week...(the kitchen island should be going in soon!)

New Car

So we upgraded the RAV last week - my beautiful silver one was having some transmission problems... if it would've just SHIFTED I would've kept it forever. Oh well, now I have a pretty blue one with many cool features...including shifting!

Friends quote:
Ross: Hey uh Mon, I saw the Porsche parked out front, can I get the keys? Thought I’d take that bad boy out for a little spin.
Rachel: Wait a minute! (To Monica) You let Ross drive the Porsche and when I ask you, you say you’re the only one who’s allowed to drive it.
Monica: Yeah, well he’s my brother! And plus he drives so slow he could never hurt it.
Ross: It’s a car Monica! Not a rocket ship!

Honesty

I'm going to be honest with you all. I'm probably never going to blog again. Now stop harassing me. :P

I'm SO good at blogging!

A couple weeks ago Brody and I went to LAS VEGAS! I really love Las Vegas, even though everyone in Utah hates it. It's warm, they have an H&M, among other great stores, and it's warm! Of course we forgot the camera (awesome!) so these pictures were taken on the trusty ole cell phone. This is where we stayed...

We saw this store from the freeway and Brody got SO excited! It's his mother-ship.

It was a pretty rad store. They had all kinds of unique animals all taxidermy-ed up. It was kind of like a really sad zoo.

RARRRRR!

I thought about Melissa the whole time I was standing by Geoffrey the Giraffe. And yes, I'm really that small...or maybe the giraffe is just big...

My mother-ship.

This is Brody. Isn't he cute?
The hotel had a bowling alley in it so we decided to knock down a few pins. Only a few though... Apparently it was pro-bolwing night in the alley though, because everyone around was CRAZY good. They were doing the crazy palm-spinning, leg-kicking-above-head, sliding-four-feet technique. It seemed to be working...

It's hard to see, but yes, those are all X's and the final scores were like 240 something. Ridiculous.

Hey Brother

So this last weekend my brother, Trevor, came to visit me! He very rarely makes it this far north, even though I am in Provo ALL THE TIME. Not bitter...
Anywho, all my cool cousins, namely Andrew and Melissa, go to Utah State, so Trevor brought their younger brother Blake with him. We played a little GHWT...
And had some sink at Angies...
and CLEANED the Sink at Angies...see we got the bumber sticker to prove it
And contrary to what Blake will tell you, he did NOT eat the whole thing himself.

Organization is coo-lll

A trip to IKEA has been made and oh, boy did I have fun! I've had my eye on their super organized storage solutions for awhile now. We made some purchases, obviously, but this is the thing I am the most excited about...

It is a free-standing wardrobe with our personal storage combination. It holds 32 pairs of shoes and 14 pairs of pants AND...
a pull-out jewelry rack! It's so organized! I just love it! It took us a little while to assemble last night, but luckily we have assembled IKEA furniture before :) and Brody is just super handy.

Which do you prefer?

So everything has gone pretty smooth in the housebuilding process, except for...the rock. It's kind of a long story, but this is what I saw one night after work...
Needless to say, I had a little bit of a breakdown. The swatch I picked was definitely not that brown. Anyway, Brody and his wonderful, wonderful friend ripped it all off and put up some pretty gray rock...
We also replace the icky cream dentil molding with white. I am SO SO SO much happier with the result. And now the house is officially done - the rock is fixed, the blinds are installed, and we're moving in!
