If these chairs could talk

This is the salon furniture that I was so lucky to get passed down from Josh's Grandma Phyllis. She had a salon in her home and was a Beautician to support her 4 children. Hopefully we can find a house and build a salon in the basement for me. These obviously need some work. So we are having them restored and re-upholstered. I want to keep them as retro as possible but still keep their charm. I took this picture the other day and have been starring at it brainstorming how I want to design them. I can't help but think how many conversations happened in these chairs. The chair on the Far left is the chair where clients would get their hair permed, cut, rolled, styled, and colored. And I'm sure there was (as in every salon) a lot of advice, gossip, recipes, therapy, crying, and laughs given and received. I can't wait to use this furniture and I feel so honored that I can stand right were Phyllis stood and have the same conversations and memories with my clients!

Time for a new post

OK so since I've blogged last we....

We went to the Oakley Rodeo!!

......

Celebrated our 2 year anniversary!!! It is so crazy how fast time flies. To celebrate we spent two wonderful nights at the homestead in midway. It was so fun and relaxing. We shopped the outlet mall, went to the crater, and got wonderful massages.

It was a perfect way to celebrate!! The only picture I snapped was of us sitting on the patio of our room so I'll post a not so typical wedding picture. I love this man so much and we have had so many fun times together!!!

I can't imagine were I would be without him!!!

If you can't tell what is happening here let me explain. Apparently Josh and my photographer are telepathic because they gave each other a look and before I knew it we were flying down a hill and spinning and skidding. It was unexpected and all i was thinking about was grass stains down my dress right before my reception.

..................

We ripped all of our tile out. It was/is a huge job and Josh was so great to work late nights trying to get it done. It is ALMOST done...we just have to finish grouting!! It will be so nice to have all my tile match. And it's so nice to have a working dishwasher, sink, toilet, and soon to be washer and dryer.

Thanks Char and Matt for your help!!!

We went to Movie under the stars at the capitol

We saw quite a few movies this summer and LOVED Inception

We went to Lake Powell

We went Camping

We have had a lot of fun driving around on Sundays house hunting

We went to st. George and vernal for work

And after summer is said and done I'm sad i didn't get more pictures but we had so much fun just hanging out and being together!! And although we go through waves of wanting a baby...we are happy just the two of us for now!!!

Laundry

Laundry is one of those things that makes people want to put their head through the wall.

I have been there.

Its something that ALWAYS needs to be done.

A couple weeks ago I decided I was sick of spending my only day off sorting and folding and putting away and hanging up.

I started doing a little at a time when I got home from work

and before I got ready for the day.

What a difference this has made in my life!

Now, I'm sure a lot of people have already

accomplished this and its

not that big of a struggle for some people, so sorry if I sound

rewarding. I don't feel like a slave to laundry!!

I finally got Josh to realize how easy it can be when we both

contribute to the laundry.

He knows now that if it's not in his hamper it's not getting clean.

After clothes are dry I make a pile of his and a pile of mine and he is in charge of putting his away. If he doesn't take care of them I put them on the floor

in his closet and after a while of wearing

wrinkled clothes he finally got the memo!!!

Our house is MUCH happier now that we have mastered

tackling the laundry.

Now if only I could have my dream laundry room...

My Guilty Pleasure

My ultimate guilty pleasure is Grey's Anatomy. Although this picture is from the beginning, I love that this is where it all started. I have gone through my favorite characters and I have finally settled. #1 Christina Yang I have grown to LOVE her humor and her attitude and how hard core she is. #2 Meredith Grey of course. I wouldn't like Christina so much had it not been for their undying friendship. And #3...or maybe #.5 MC DREAMY!! Just look at him...need I say more? I won't spoil the season finale from Thursday but i STRONGLY recommend season 6. Like most shows it had an "in a rut" season but this season has been like no other if you haven't watch it try it out!!!

Please Don't give pills to your sister!!!

This story was just to funny I had to share it!! I teach the 7 going on 8 year olds in primary. Last week my team teacher taught on the Priesthood. We were talking about ways to use the Priesthood and discussed the healing of the sick. She asked the boys in the class ways they can prepare to get the Priesthood. Thinking we were still talking about giving blessing to the sick, one of the boys raised his hand after a minute of no response. He said "Well we could like give our little sister a sleeping pill and practice putting our hands on her head and giving her a blessing." We both just looked at him making sure we heard him right. Poor kid was just trying so hard to answer the question and obviously was confused himself. After explaining what we really meant we made sure to remind the whole class to never give anyone pills!!!

Sunday Baseball never ends good at our house

Most Sundays at my parents we eat dinner then hangout and play either baseball or five crowns. On Mothers day my youngest brother Chambers was jumping on the tramp and landed on his ankle wrong. It got so swollen his ankle looked like a grapefruit (but blue)! Of course it is in the middle of baseball season so he had to miss a game. His ankle was feeling much better and he was planning on playing in his next game the following week. The sunday before his game he was playing catch with Matt and my Dad was telling a story at the table and said his name so Chambers turned to look at him and got the ball right on his eye!! It made a loud suction cup noise and he was on the ground! He was in shock!! He could barely talk and his leg kept shaking! All he could say was "why does everything bad have to happen on sundays!!" Me being totally freaked out just stood there taking pictures. Amazingly he didn't get a black eye, just a scratched cornea. He played his game and got smacked with the ball. Poor kid can't catch a break. Good thing bad things come in threes!! Charlie has now caught Chambers bad luck, starting with the tramp accident!!!

Legal

I am finally 21!!! It feels so great to be an "adult". My birthday was awesome! I went to lunch with my mom and sis then went shopping at Tai Pan and got a super cute purse and wallet. When I got home I had a new phone waiting for me from Josh! My new My touch is my life. I am so reliant on it. It is crazy what technology can do! We went to Tuccis for dinner then had pie with some of Josh's family. Saturday night we went to Asian star for dinner and it was SOOO good. I had never been there before and I will definitely be back! Friday at the salon the girls bought me lunch and a cake and surprised me with the cutest outfit from Bohem Boutique! I am so lucky to have such great family and friends that love me and spoil me!! Love you guys soo much!!
