Cutest watches ever

Love these watches! You can mix and match with the faces and different bracelet colors to coordinate with your outfit! These watches are my newest fashion statement since I have moved. If you want to save the trouble of making them your own, let me know if you are interested in where to get them!

Interior Design Project ~ St. George Home

So as most of you know we live in St. George now. As Steve was going forth with the Radiology program my parents were searching for a second home in St. George as a vacation/retirement home. When Steve got accepted they asked us to if we wanted to live there. Of Course we said, Yes! My parents provided the bed for the master bedroom and then we took care of the rest. We mostly had everything anyways. We are in love with interior decorating...even more Steve than myself. He pays attention to every detail making sure each room goes together. Hope you enjoy!!

Ok love this..."And this is my Joy" vinyl lettering. This saying comes from Alma chapter 29 vs 9...it was on my mission plaque and when I found this I just had to have it! So we put it with The Living Christ, First Presidency, and The Proclamation to the World

Spare Bedroom- So with this room we decided on red, black, and white for the colors. We want people to have a feel they are somewhere foreign so the pictures in this room are that of Golden Gate Bridge, Taj Mahal, overlooking Rio DeJanerio, and Egyptian pyramids

Spare (2)
Love this Comforter...I call it my wedding dress comforter. When I found it I just had to have it!! It's pleated with what looks like jewels from afar...are buttons

Spare (3)
Great Wall of China and the Eiffel Tower

Spare (4)
Instead of a headboard we used various sizes of mirrors to make the wall appear larger. Their is also a black nightstand to the left of the bed.

Oh ps...Peyton is sitting now:) Happened on Dec 30th

F.R.I.E.N.D.S & FRIENDS:)

For my birthday Steve got me all ten seasons of Friends...well we have finished them all in 6 weeks! How sad...but oh well. Love that show!!! When watching the show it makes me think of how great my own friends are in my life. A huge blessing we have recieved is when we moved out from our apartment. Jen & Ben, Daniel & Ashley and Erin & Paul were such a huge huge help!! Thanks to them!! Erin & Ashley even cleaned our entire place. I love it when friends take on service opportunities, it really shows they care:) Thanks guys! You are the best!! Aubree Healey even drove down with me to help us move in...she dealt with my narotic "let's get this all done Now!" attitude...love her!!! Her and I even experienced the 24- hour flu together :( For all those reading this...although we have moved away to St. George..don't forget us!! We love you all! I have a strong feeling this move will be permanent for quite some time...Please visit!!

Glimpse in the NiCu

The nicu
My nephew is in the Nicu.
I can’t help but reminisce on what my experience was like when peyton was in the Nicu.
The nicu is a place of worry, sadness, and miscommunication.
You feel like every nurse has no clue what they are talking about…no one can clearly explain to you what’s happening in lay man terms…every nurse becomes your worst enemy. The are going on shifts or leaving and never know quite what to say…the only question that you are thinking of is…when will my baby get to come home? The nicu is a place you never expect to go to. The worst is when you are discharged from the hospital and leave without your baby..You are in a state where the last thing you want to hear is everyone else’s experiences…you are being denied to hold your baby, caress your baby, at times to feed your baby. All you have is hope and your heavenly father to lean on. Everyday seems to get better or worse…No one understands what to say or what not to say…Then the day finally comes when you receive a phone call and the voice on the other end says…”He’s ready, come get him.” You are finally filled with so much happiness. My experience will always remain a negative experience because of what I went through. I hope when future kids come it will be a sweeter experience. The nicu is a place no mom will ever understand what it's like unless they have gone through it themselves. The important thing is, peyton is totally fine now...and I have that to be always grateful for. I learned from this experience to have a higher sensitivity towards others that go through the nicu as well as patience...things happen in life you can't explain or predict..I love you Carter! Get well!!:)
