The last couple of weeks have been pretty eventful in our lives. I just finished school for the summer which I am super excited about! Finally a break after like a year and a half straight of trying to focus on homework constantly. Andy finishes this block next week but then will be going to second block the week after that so I'm proud of him for being so dedicated! We also celebrated our one year anniversary last week which was so much fun because we got to spend the whole day together without any school or work. The day started out with presents as it always should yay! I got my husband tickets to participate in an obstacle course type thing I'm not really sure but it's called Tough Mudder and I don't know why anyone would want to do it for fun but he's excited! My sweetie got me something I've been wanting forever, plant jewelry!


They are so precious and after they grow to big for their containers I get to transplant them. Later that day we went to the Nickel Arcade, dinner at Olive Garden, and to the movie, Avengers.


Our fun day begins!


We won a ridiculous amount of tickets at the nickel arcade!


And with those tickets we got some sweet treasures


Andy forgot just how sour Warheads were!


Dinner at Olive Garden


Even through some of the difficult times, this past year has definitely been the best year of my life and I excited for all the years to come! I am truly blessed to have married such an amazing person.

In the last little bit I have also gained an obsession with trying to be crafty. This whole obsession started with the discovery of Pinterest. Here are a couple of my recent crafts with many more to come....



This is a shadow box that I made out of two frames to hold tickets from fun stuff that we get to do together!


I made this canvas picture inspired by this great blog (http://www.pinkumbrellaphotography.com/2011/09/using-mod-podge-with-pictures.html) for my mom for Mother's day. She got married in the Logan, Utah temple. None of my pictures are very good but it has my parents names on it and their marriage date in the top right corner. 


I made this artwork by putting decals onto canvas and spray painting it. After I first sprayed it was an epic fail! The decal wasn't tight enough and the paint was all underneath it so then I used it as a border and hand painted all the white and the black again to make it more defined.



This little beauty I got on craigslist for free! It was a great find and I am almost done with the revamping of this baby!
