lovely little sparrow

gwahh, I adore this song, so amazing.

pissing the night away - CHUMBA WUMBA

I like my house to be clean, but ironically I HATE to be told to clean my house, and although I wasn't "told" per se to clean my house, I still feel the need when someone comes over (no matter who it is, a homeless stinky could come to my home and I would still feel I had to straighten up) to clean. where is this going you may ask? well, I will tell you, THIS apartment complex conducts more "home inspections" than any place on the planet, we have been visited by the apartment managers 3 times already this year and it is only February, that's INSANE! I just don't get it, our apartment is always nice and sparkly when they come to inspect and yet they never stop coming. So to pass the time while cleaning, I like to play my music and sing to my dogs... I know kind crazy (trust me they agree) because when I sing along to the song lyrics and even try to dance them out the dogs look at me quizzically like I'm a fool... which I am, but it is fun you should try it!

happy cleaning.

p.s this video is so cute, reminds me of Faye! I love bull doggers!

Beneath the dance hall lights you seem a girl so south

So in 3 weeks, away I go ... for a week, but a week is better than nothing when it comes to visiting my family!

I am so ready to see my parents and my grandparents, it has been way too long for my liking. Although I am not one of those people who hate flying (because I don't) I do however not like traveling long distances in general, I hate worrying I forgot something and I hate worrying about my doggers but that being said I am still excited to go back to NC and see the fam damily.

We'll start our trip in the Charlotte area, visit Darin's family my grandparents and hopefully some friends. Then we will head to the coast of NC and visit my parents at the beach, then head back to Charlotte so we can fly back to Utah land.

All travel fretting aside, I am still counting the days until I can hug my parents!

my home away from home

Bye Bye kitty

so, today kitty left us! I was definitely not ready for another pet (since i have 2 dogs as it is) but it was sad letting the little guy go. I am super pumped he found a good and loving home and I think he will adjust OK, I just hope everything goes well. He was a sweet little dude and I'll miss him hangin' around.

Steelers vs Green Bay

Not a fan of either team... BUT if I must choose, my choice team will be ....

Please let the commercials be good this year!

Babies, Babies, BABIES! Everyone is having babies, it's all you ever hear about... People having babies, people wanting babies, people getting pregnant with babies, and people complaining when they can't get pregnant with babies! Although this topic is sometimes annoying for me and hard for me to understand considering I do not have babies and up until this year have really had no desire for babies any time soon, I get rather excited when people have these wiggly little creatures that are so foreign to me. My sister in law whom I love dearly just had TWO of these, a little boy and a little girl, Nathan and Eleanor and they are some cute little monkeys let me tell you. I can't wait till my own sister has one (I'm not giving up hope on her).I guess being a woman the maternal instinct and the desire for children hits you at some point or another, I guess that's why babies are the topic of everything at this stage in life ... but I'll let you in on a little secret that I don't particularly want to admit just yet ... I don't seem to mind .

Besides my initial reaction to think all babies look like little old men/aliens, I also like to try to figure out who they most resemble (mommy or daddy, or if I know the extended family members if they resemble one of them more), So I will attempt to do so here and give my opinion as to who these little ones look like as far as these pictures go. The picture directly bellow is Nathan, and from the angle this photo is take (because I have not seen him in person) I think he resembles his aunt Jessica!

And here, we have Eleanor, who I think STRONGLY resembles her adorable big sister Susie!

But of course, you really don't know who a baby looks like until they get a little bigger and develop their cute little personalities!

Welcome to the world cute little rice babies.

So long, Farewell

So the time has come that our four closest friends have moved (and all in one week)! Husband and wife Emma and Dustin packed up and moved to McKinney Texas and our other friends Anna and Stratton moved to Charlotte North Carolina, both for job opportunities, so naturally we are very excited and happy for them but we are also pretty bumbed! Luckily we won't be left behind for too long, in June we will be headed back to the good ole south ourselves and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Good Luck on your new adventure Taylors and Allens, you will be missed here in Utah!

If there is one thing I could learn to do and do well it would be knitting! I am obsessed with anything yarn, wool, chunky and warm! which is why I am a HUGE fan of ETSY and this little shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/LoveandKnit?ref=top_trail, her stuff in my opinion is SO adorable! so my friends, add that on my list of things to do, and maybe one day I will sell knitted things on etsy.com , or maybe I'll just knit things for myself, my family, my dogs and my future children all day long, either way I will know how to Knit one day.
