23 Adult truths

Okay I'm a sucker for things like this! I'll admit it I LOVE reading these things! they make me laugh because they are usually so true! Take a min and read this I promise you will smile too :)

1 Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. 

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. 

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. 

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font. 

5. How on earth are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? 

6. Was learning cursive really necessary? 

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. 

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. 

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind-of tired. 

10. Bad decisions make good stories. 

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. 

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again. 

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to. 

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. 

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. 

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Light than Kay. 

17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. 

18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. 

19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said? 

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters! 

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. 

22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time. 

23. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

Anthro Inspired

One of my favorite stores is Anthropologie 
No surprise there, if you've ever been to one then you probably love it too
its hard not fall in love :) 

However we are young married college students and cant 
really afford my obsession.... 
SOOOO i use Anthropologie as my inspiration

EXAMPLE #1

This little beauty has been a huge inspiration to me
i LOVE mirrors 
(I blame my mother, if you have ever been to our house we have at least one mirror in every room)
for starters this mirror collage is where I got the inspiration for our reception backdrop (pictures coming soon)
I also wanted it in my our apartment
unfortunately to buy it from Anthropologie would cost me about $700

 so... I did what I do best and made it my self


 I think it turned out pretty awesome! I got all the mirrors from antique stores and they were originally used for our wedding back drop.

So mine is a little smaller (4 mirrors as opposed to 7) but I still believe I saved about $300

Have you ever tried to take pictures of mirrors? its hard!


EXAMPLE #2
This awesome book wreath isn't actually sold at Anthropologie but it does have an Anthro look to it 

I love it! I made a bunch of them this summer for a vintage craft fair My mom and I sold things at and they were a huge hit

They are kind of hard to travel with so I decided to make a new one when we got to Rexburg

Moral of the story:
If something is out of your price range don't be discouraged just find a way to make it for cheaper :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
HALLOWEEN is one of my favorite holidays and i have been secretly waiting for years to be married so we can have cute couple's costumes :)

Dorothy and the Scarecrow :) 

 My mom helped me with my costume (thanks Mom!!!) and I did Brians all by my self... I'm pretty proud of it :) I think they both turned out great! 
 Yes if you were wondering we have straw floating around our house still :(
We had such a fun time at our ward party and I love an excuse to dress up for HALLOWEEN!




We found some other Wizard of Oz friends at our Halloween Party and had to get a picture of the 
whole crew!  

Getting ready to head out to our party!!!!

 When you watched the Wizard of Oz growing up did you realize that Dorothy and 
the Scarecrow were in love :) Well this Dorothy loves this scare crow! 

I hope you all had a wonderful HALLOWEEN and at least ate some yummy candy!
