summertime.

Scott and I kicked off this summer with a horrible storm and then a beautiful rainbow. We figured its a sign telling us that tornado season is OVERR! Ugh, so relieved.



"Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you

And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peep through

 

And there'll be sun sun sun, all over our bodies, and sun sun sun, all down our necks

Cos I'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes
And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke all those stupid little cigarettes

And drink stupid wine
Cos it's what we needed to have a good time

And it was fun fun fun
When we were drinking

 

When we were drunk. And it was fun fun fun when we were laughing. It was fun fun fun, Oh it was fun

 

Oh well I look at you and say
It's the happiest that I've ever been
And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean

 

And she'll say
Yah well I feel all pretty happy too
And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you

 

[17 weeks! :))))]

 

And it'll be love love love all through our bodies.
And love love love all through our minds.

 

Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I'll be thinking ‘bout them as I'm lying in bed

 

And all that I believe might never really come true
But in my mind I'm havin' a pretty good time with you

 

 

Five years time I might not know you. Five years time we might not speak. Oh, in five years time we might not get along. In five years time you might just prove me wrong

 

Oh there'll be love love love wherever you go. There'll be love love love wherever you go.

Song Lyrics- Five years time: Noah and the Whale.

my summer bucket list

This summer, I have some things that I want to accomplish! I plan to document my progress and hope that I can finish everything that I have set out to do--

1. build a shelf for my headboard
2. get pictures of Scott and I
3. take a trip to somewhere I have never been
4. transform my tall (and useless) shelf in to a useful fabric/craft storage
5. organize my fabric on small bolts
6. sew atleast three more quilts
7. come up with 10 awesome (and creative) ways to use a mason jar
8. make a wreath
9. go to the movies
10. enjoy sangria with my loves
11. sew a ruffle duvet cover
12. make a button belt
13. make a homemade pizza
14. get a summer tan
15. go on a hike
16. spend a whole day barefoot
17. snail mail some friends
18. start an "i love you" book
19. make a linen closet I could adore
20. eat a snow cone!
21. read a good book
22. download a summer playlist
23. have a picnic
24. watch the clouds
25. make some coasters/pot holders

Sometimes all it takes when you are feeling down is a little organization. VOILA, I feel 100% better :)

Love.

happy birthday, my love!

I love the shit out of you, too!

my new passion is quilting!

This one is still incomplete since I haven't completely finished the binding, but it is almost done.

This is my newest piece of art.

The red is the absolute perfect red and the white squares are white fabric with a layer of lace over it.

I am pretty sure that I am gonna quilt until my hands fall off.

Love.

a day at the park

	We celebrated the end of the spring semester at the park.

We slid on slides and spun on merry go rounds.

Cutest kid ever, right?

All in all, Spring semester went awesome. Scott earned all B's and I got 3 B's and 1 A. Not my best report card, but working full-time cuts me a little slack. In 18 days my summer semester starts. I am taking College Algebra and Composition 2. Hopefully these 4 week, super sped up classes don't kill me, but if I haven't blog posted by July 4th, you'll know why ;) Also, my college is looking for students to work in some work-study programs so I am definately down to transition from a CNA to a less lame job, haha. I am so happy to be finished with this semester and am eager and ready to start the next. Wish us luck :)

Love. 

oh, my love.

"Iridescent like a starling, Won't you be my little darling? Baby, baby,You're the world to me"

re-cap of our first married year.

April 7th 2011 marked Scott and my one year anniversary. It never ceases to amaze us how much we have learned and grown in the past year. Some exciting and important dates to remember are...

April 7th 2010- "Today was the day that our lives were joined for all eternity. You became mine and I became yours and nothing in this world could make be feel as blessed and lucky as I am today". Our wedding was simple and sweet, but perfect in every way.

May 9, 2010- We embarked on our first ever road trip and I got to meet his dad and step-mom for the first time. I was so nervous, mostly because I hadn't had the best connection with anyone in his family so far and I didn't want them to dislike me or think we had rushed or think anything negative of me actually. Luckilly, they didn't and I am blessed to still have a great relationship with them. I love seeing older couples still madly in love and am greatful that they know and understand how much I love their son also.

May 19, 2010- Scott left for basic training and I was one sad wife. We missed eachother every single day and have tons of letters to show for it.

July 23, 2010- Scott graduated US NAVY bootcamp and it was my sisters birthday. I was so overwhelmed by happiness that my sisters birthday definately took the back burner, but again, I am blessed to have a sister who didn't give a damn about anything except my happiness.

September 10, 2010- Scott was medically discharged and home in my arms

January 3, 2011- We both got our butts in to gear and started college (again for me... i took a tiny break that fall). He was starting his pre-requisites, the normal boring english and math. I was finishing up my pre and co-requisites for nursing school. We both finished the semester very successfully.

March 2011- Scott and I found out we are going to be Uncle and Auntie in November!

April 7th, 2011- One year of marriage down, many many more to go. We celebrated with pizza (which seems to be a common occurance for celebration-- we had pizza at our wedding and for the first two valentines day we spent together so we figure its a ritual now ;) ) and afterwards he took me out for frozen yogurt-- my all time favorite.

We have made it through so much--the ugly, the bad, the good, the lonely-- and are so much stronger and so much more in love then ever.

music: the gambler-- by fun

"I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side."
