hatred

it snowed.

and i screamed when i looked out the window.

i'm not ready at all.
i'm not ready to swerve all over the road when i drive.

yes i admit the snow can be pretty but not pretty at all when i have to go outside and get the bottom of my jeans all wet and my hair all up in my face and frizzy...

i would rather cuddle up INSIDE drinking hot chocolate and watching movies with the snow wreaking havok OUTSIDE.

n00b. he likes the snow.

itchin

i'm hungry.

dinner for 2 please

apple-stuffed chicken breasts.

looks quite scary...

but absolutely delicious!

you can find it here!

i've been so bored lately trying to figure out what to cook for dinner. i've been in a bit of a rut i guess and i never feel like cooking after work so we'd been eating out too much and have been feeling like fatties. so i've been trying really hard to get over myself and cook something! i love trying out new and crazy recipes and haven't had TOO many disasters so far....on the Taste of Home website i've been finding some really good recipes that fit us like recipes for 2 and healthy stuff. its been helpful in the fact that it makes just enough for both of us and it prevents us from eating like pigs when there's a lot of leftovers....

current obsessions:

1. SCENTSY.

my friend ailinh, who is a scentsy consultant, has gotten me SO addicted! i swear i never wanna buy another dumb candle again. i need more scents though....but one of my favorite things to do is to come home, turn it on and RELAX! ahhhhhhh. its so wonderful and so easy to clean up. i'm planning on having a scentsy party sometime soon, let me know if you'd like an invite! and every season they come out with new cute warmers and scents for the spring/summers and fall/winters. i love it l♥ve it love it! here is the scentsy website. i can't wait to have a bigger house so i could put one in every level and have my WHOLE HOUSE smelling beautiful.

2. CRAFTIN.

here is the glass cube thing (i don't even know what the heck its called) i made for my sis kyla and travis' late wedding present...i love doing vinyl lettering

this was my favorite to make! i was so excited that i actually bought a wood board, i painted it and rubbed on the vinyl lettering! i seriously went to porters (the rexburg craft store) about everyday one week. i felt like my mom at the craft stores getting all excited about the possibilities that could be created.

yes yes thats pretty much it. and i haven't really done a lot since i started working but i was quite proud of myself when i made these, its not like they were horribly time consuming but its a start. also i can't start junking up my apt with a bunch of random projects cuz we just don't have room.
i really hope to be one craftin cookin mama one day.

3. LADY GAGA-PAPARAZZI

just cuz.

she's kool and krazy

october's over

dinner tonight: ORANGE CHICKEN

thats right. i made chinese orange chicken and it was glorious.

here's how our halloween weekend went down.....

brett and i went to the ward's halloween party as gun slinging cowboy bandits from texas.

going as cowboys wasn't exactly my top choice but due to not even knowing what we're doing for halloween until the week of and the lack of money for maybe some awesome costume materials we went with some clothes we had already and bought our bandanas and tuff guns....brett had to give me some tough love when i was really frustrated we couldn't buy any COOL costume stuff. well, next year, we'll plan better....

for the activity we decorated cakes with our family home evening groups...

here's our butt-ugly spider that actually looks like a butt-ugly ant....
then on the actual halloween day we went to a brasilian halloween party! pretty random huh? but our friends carmelo and autumn invited us and i wanted to go to some kind of party on halloween and get all dressed up. even if it means going to a brasilian party where in brasil they don't even celebrate halloween.....
yeahhhhh not too eventful for halloween festivities. its so hard to figure out what to do for a holiday like this when you're married with no kids, but i'm sure when we start havin some i think it'll be WAY fun!

tonight brett and i got to watch President Uchtdorf's CES fireside talk and it was awesome. i felt like he was speaking directly to me when he said something like, "don't let your sorrows get you down and depressed but instead think of the things in your life that brings you light." ohhh man i've seriously been a bit of a whiner lately. i truly believe that the cold makes me depressed....but i really do need to think of better things that me me super happy.
like:
BRETT!
thanks brett for putting up with my grumpiness.
i love you very much!
