road trip.

these next two weekends are going to be so fun.
this weekend the mister and i were invited to go snowboarding
by the lovely brian clay. (check out his amazing photography here)
i quickly accepted the invitation.

next weekend we are hiking the grand canyon.
saturday we hike down. spend the night. and hike back up sunday.
its supposed to be a pretty intense hike. i cannot wait.

stomach growls at 2 am

school makes me wanna rip my brains out.

i am so ready to be done and simply be the perfect housewife.

ill cook, ill clean, ill buy groceries... wait i do all of this already.

but im not complaining about that. i love doing things for my husband.

its just all that plus school plus work plus everything else.

i just wanna punch all my professors in the face.

they think that my life should revolve around each of their classes.

plus i locked my keys in the truck before class (didnt realize till after)

 so i had to wait at school forever while brother crawled 

through the doggy door at chase and my home & found the spare key.

needless to say i was late to work.

big breath

new favorite quote: 

"whenever i have a problem, i just sing, 

then i realize my voice is worse than my problem"

ps i figured out what i want for valentines day:

its perfect. love. definitely brightened my oh so busy & exciting day.

ps happy three weeks to me and the mister
<3

life happens

its funny how time shows who your true friends are
and who you can really count on.

ive learned that when people hurt me or make me angry,
i am giving them power over me.

when i can ignore and not let those things affect me,
it is the most amazing feeling of freedom.

i also have realized that happiness is a choice.
i dont need anything to make me happy.

i can be happy all on my own.

green chile pork

i love this day

today was a wonderful relaxing day. now that im in bed waiting for my husband to finish his homework i am left to think why dont we have more days like today? chase even decided to cook. he made delicious green chile pork and oooo buddy it was amazing! well chase decided we should do valentines day early this year. and chase (already knowing what he wanted) thought we should pick out our own gifts. his 'cad mouse' for his design stufff is already ordered. and me, i am torn. between these beauties.

two very different things i know. ill sleep on it and hopefully have my mind made up by tomorrow.

i love chase thompson :)

Welp we did it.....

Chase and I were married on January 11th 2011 {1.11.11} Yes that was planned. It was either then or 11.11.11 and neither of us were willing to be that patient. That day is one I will never forget. Chase and I were surrounded by people who love and support us. The spirit was thick in the sealing room, there is no other way to describe it. But it was lovely and perfect. Here are a few pictures of our special day:

And here are some lovelies from the reception:
