100 days

Happy Valentines day (yesterday) to everyone! Although Tay is miles away he still was sweet enough to tell his mom to bring me flowers and a few other things on Valentines day. :) LOVE that boy (and his mama) It was also a very important day for us because it marked 100 days!! I can't believe i haven't seen my man in so long. BUT that is 100 days closer until i get to see him:):):) and that makes me feel a lot better. Hope you all had as good of a Valentines Day as i did!

valentines package

Today i received a package from Tay! I literally haven't stopped smiling since i got it:) In it was one of the sim cards from his camera, a homemade... i don't even know what to call it but i love it. Haha and instead of the traditional stuffed animal bear you get for Valentines day he got me a Koala. There's two reasons he gave me a Koala. A- well, because he's in Australia and they're EVERYWHERE there. B- this is going to sound really cheesy and i might get made fun of for this but.. whatever. I've always called Tay a tree because he's so tall, and when he got called to Australia he started calling me a Koala because he said that when we hugged it probably looked like a Koala hugging a tree! Soooo... that's where the Koala comes in:) (cheesy right? well, i like it) anyway, I love my missionary SO much and i miss him like crazy but i know that this will all be worth it in the end:)




4-6-2011 is the day we met:)
and now i'll show you some of my favorite pictures from the sim card!

this is Tay and Tyson my friend Tiara's missionary:) so glad they took a picture together!

looks like he's having a great time with all his 'mates' in Australia, ya?

day in SLC

I got to spend Friday with my big brother Jake:) It's always a good time with him because he's weird and crazy and always has these "great ideas." He woke me up at about 9:30 and told me he wanted to ride the front runner to Salt Lake and pick up my other older brother (Justin) from school and take him to lunch at Chili's. If you know me, you know i love eating out. So of course i said yes:) It was a fun interesting day spent with my older brothers. I've always said i want my first baby (when the time comes.. so in the far far future) to be a boy so that my little girls have older brothers. My older brothers are the best because they're so nice and they are such great influences. But anyway, here's a few pictures from our SLC adventure:)








 

nikon 1

Guys guess what came this week... my Nikon 1!! I've been impatiently waiting for 2 weeks and it finally came on Wednesday! I'm already obsessed and if you don't have one... i strongly suggest you get one. A huge reason it's so great is because it takes just as nice of pictures as those thousand dollar cannons or nikon's but it was WAY cheaper! It's also not as big and bulky:) I LOVE IT

cake bites

This weekend my friend Tiara and i decided that we should send all our friends in the MTC a Valentines package:) (this is what two people with no friends looks like) haha so we made the CUTEST cake bites and put them in little bags with some pink gum balls, cute valentines M&M's, and cute ribbons. We sent them to Sister Kramer, Sister Swenson, Elder Gee, Elder Taylor, Elder, Green, and Elder Murray:) Sadly we couldn't send them to our own missionaries because they're thousands of miles away and the cake bites would've been pretty gross by the time they got there. It's hard to have all of your friends gone but when you think about it it's great that all of our friends are worthy to go. They're blessing so many people and i'm so proud of all of them:) i love my friends.

i've got a 'sweet tooth'

Guys.. if you have never been to the Sweet Tooth Fairy.. you have not lived. My mom and i went today and i fell in love. They have the most AMAZING cupcakes, cookies, and cakebites. The whole shop has a pastel feel to it and it's the cutest place EVER! I am now obsessed and will probably be stopping by every day haha.

DIY bows

My friends and i had a fun little craft night and made the CUTEST hair bows:) I love wearing mine because they make a boring hair day into a fun hair day:) So here's a few pictures of the bows! If you love them and want to make some of your own go to www.justjessicasara.blogspot.com the full tutorial is on there!!





Taylor Giles Mitchell :)

Alright so i KNOW i'm going to be talking about my missionary Tay a lot so i thought i would add a few pictures of us so you can kind of see who i am always talking about! I'll also tell you a couple things you should know about him.
  • He's OBSESSED with Michael Jordan. When he was little he'd cry because he wasn't black and bald haha. 
  • He has a very sever case of ADD. He's nuts but that's a huge reason why i love him:)
  • He's a whole foot taller than me
  • He's honestly the sweetest person you'll ever meet. I don't know one person he hates or anyone that has ever hated him.
  • He LOVES basketball
  • He's constantly eating but somehow never gets fat?
  • He is happy 100% of the time. I've literally never seen him get mad! (another big reason why i love him so much)

my mg's

If you're wondering what the heck MG stands for let me help you out! MG= Missionary Girlfriend! My friend Tiara has a missionary in Portugal and my other friend Jessica has a missionary in Mexico! So it's so fun when us three hang out because we have A LOT in common!! On Saturday we got to spend the entire day together! I'd say we had a retail therapy day... I'm not sure if we say retail therapy as an excuse to spend all our money or if it really is a way of therapy.. but personally i think it is VERY helpful. Anyway, we spent the day at city creek and shopped our little hearts out! I think it's safe to say that we should probably never go shopping together ever again... we bought everything in sight.. :/ but it was truly a much needed day:):) I love my MG's!!

So obviously i said yes because honestly... what girl doesn't love to have her pictures taken? hahaha so these are just a few of my favorites from the photo shoot but if you'd like to see them all they're on her amazing blog! www.illbelovingu.blogspot.com
