Funny/Embarrassing Story


So I just have a quick funny story. I was wearing this cute flowy skirt today.  There is a tall skinny model wearing the same skirt in the picture to the right.  When I wear the same skirt, it DOES NOT  look the same, haha. It comes almost to my ankles.  Anyway, it was really rainy and gross outside today.  Jacob came to pick me up from work when I got off 7:00.  So I get in the car and shut about HALF of my skirt outside the car door.  You can probably imagine the outcome: I get out of the car and find that my skirt has been dragging in the gross rain water the whole way home!! Haha it was pretty funny.  I think only I am capable of something so clumsy.  And I was thinking, I'll bet it looked pretty funny to have this huge amount of material hanging out of our car door the whole way home.  But good news: The skirt was not ruined.  It was just a little wet and dirty so I put it through the wash and it came clean. :)

Springtime!! (Finally)

So it's finally been warming up here in Rexburg! After the crazy blizzard we got last week that resulted in 6 inches of snow, I think the weather has finally decided to cooperate and stay warm.  The spring semester starts tomorrow.  This semester I'm going to be working a lot and taking a few easy classes and Jacob's going to be working very little and taking a lot of hard classes, since I'm ahead of him in school. So it should be interesting, but I'm excited. I love the spring semester up here.  


Lately, I've done a couple spring crafts to keep myself busy:


I got this cute little "Color your own pot" kit from the craft store for only a dollar haha I thought it was cute.


I made a cute little spring wreath to hang on our door. I made the flowers out of felt and then put buttons and pom poms on them and hot glued them to a wire wreath frame.

Close up view of my wreath. (Please note Jacob creepily peering through the window in this one haha)

Sugar cookies I made for a cookie contest at work. Olivia gave me the recipe and they were super easy to make.  They didn't win...but they were definitely the cutest cookies there! :)
