Beards

beekeeping

Taylor and I decided when we get married and have our own yard we are going to keep bees, we are pretty stoked about it. there easy to take care of, good for your garden, some states give you tax ride-offs, get to see Tay in that funny bee outfit, and free organic honey!! whooo.

why my diet is not working.

So I am trying to look hot and skinny for my wedding but It is proving harder than expected, probably my insane crack like addiction to sugar has something to do with it. 

So Taylor, please stop being so cute and domestic and baking such delicious cookies. I mean seriously pudding, in a chocolate chip cookie. is this a joke?

...and Cherry Lane Boutique when I come into work please do not offer me a delicious Smart Cookie with cream cheese frosting shaped like an adorable flower, because I WILL eat them all.

... also why is a The Sweet Tooth Fairy located right next to the ring designers shop? damn you cake bites.

... but I did go running this morning that's got to count for something right?

our tree

When Taylor and I first started dating. He carved our initials into a tree, last Sunday after church we went back too our tree to see how it was doing.

This is how it looked when we first carved it

and this is how it looks now, almost 2 years later

Happy St Patrick's Day! Ive been listening to the Clancy Brothers all day to celebrate!

Everything from vintage clothing and sparkly purses to old maps, sewing patterns, brownie cameras and record albums can be found in the comfortably packed double decker. Next time I find myself in Portland, Oregon, im going to hit up Lodekka.

Wedding Inspiration

twisted buns

I found this hairdo over at A Cup Of Joe, then tried it out on myself. it is so so easy and looks a lot fancier than most everything else I do with my hair

also try taking a picture of the back of your head. not easy my friend

so I had my good friend Yuki take one when I got into work you can see it slowly degenerated throughout the day.

P.S. I found this belt at work its going on my wedding dress, im excited.

skirt

another one of my mothers wonderful creations.

Ring Design Attempts

Ive be working on designing my own ring and man is is a pain in the butt. 

Good thing I did not go into jewelry design as a career.

anniversary and what followed

Last night was Taylor and Is two year anniversary we both had work and school all day and weren't feeling too well which was a bummer. but this is what I came home too and it cheered me right up! 

 he got me chalk and a bag and rock climbing harness which are all so cool! and I made him this box filled with all of my favorite memories and things about him which I thought was pretty lame and corny. but he really liked it (he even teared up a little shhhh)

Then he surprised me and took me to the Pie which is were we went on our first real date. (because seeing a pregnant hooker and thinking your going to me murdered doesn't really count)

After the pie we drove up and found the exact place were we drove up after our first date, you could see the whole city. It was so beautiful! Thats were Taylor got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!!

 we made lots of phone calls on the way home and when we got back to Provo we we went to Taylor and Adams to surprised them. Taylor was a ball of excitement of course.

but I think they were more excited to put it on facebook haha

 Adam quote: "let the pandemonium ensue"

So this is my ring but not my permanent ring, because I am designing my own which I am so excited about, though I will always love this ring so simple and elegant, nice work Taylor. 

splurge

I just ordered this table online. I am so beyond excited!

Kate Spade

this makes me very happy.
