Where is Spring?!

Today it is snowing! WHAT!!!! On Saturday it was beautiful and warm outside. It felt like Spring! You think that I would get used to the whole tease with great weather and then the whole snow storm. I happens EVERY year! Last week Ryan took pictures of flowers that started coming up in our yard. It makes me even more excited for Spring! I think I have mentioned that I love flowers. I love these pictures! Ryan did such a great job!





Two weeks ago I took Friday off just to relax and be with Ryan. I caught up on sleep and we had fun just being with each other! He got me a surprise! He got me bands to go on each side of my wedding ring!

Just my wedding ring

With the bands

I love how different it looks! I love it by itself, but if I want something completely different I love it with the bands! Thanks honey!

I also dyed my hair really dark. It has actually faded a lot since I dyed it. I have enjoyed the change. I also cut bangs. So completely different, but fun! I have been so busy with work the camera has not been out much. However, I went to the Scrapbook expo this last weekend with my mom, cousin, and aunt. We got some really great deals! Yay for good deals! I took pictures because I wanted to show Ryan what goes on INSIDE the expo. So I finally got a picture of me with my new hair.

A booth at the expo. All fragrances inspired by Twilight.

Me showing Ryan that it is not just me that loves scrapbooking.

My hair used to be one to two shades darker. It actually is starting to look kind of red. I did not even put a hint of red in it!

Blogging Slacker

I keep thinking I will do better with the whole blogging thing. I have been working so so so much. Even when I am home I think about work. It has consumed my life. Good thing I love what I do or else that would make life awful. (However, it would be nice to have a break from work and my thoughts of work.) Ryan has been busy doing different projects. Here is what has been going on since my last post.

We went snow shoeing with Michelle, Kerry, Kerry's brother and mom, and my dad. It was a lot of fun. I would do it again for sure. I do not get to see Michelle that much so any chance I get is a wonderful treat! Love ya Miss!
The whole gang

Michelle and I

Valentines Day was great. Ryan sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and sent them to me on Friday at work. I love flowers so this just made my day. On Valentines Day we went to the Open House of the Draper Temple. It is a very pretty temple. It is pretty small. That was a lot of fun. I forgot a camera so that made me pretty mad. While we were down in Draper we went to Ikea to pick up some cabinets that we are putting in our living room. (Ryan's current project, pictures coming) Then we came home and decided to build a fire and have takeout by the fire. We had Chinese by a fire that my wonderful husband built for me. Then we had fondue. It was so yummy! I am a chocolate lover! I took pictures of us, but I did not like ANY of them. So you get pictures without us in them.

The flowers Ryan sent to me

Having fondue by the fire!

As you can see the fireplace is being framed around. Ryan is redoing the fireplace. He has his own company doing cultured stone so we are putting his rock on it and putting the TV above it and storage behind it. I am really excited because all of the cords and everything are going to be hidden and we are going to have a nice fireplace. Here are some pictures of the progress. I will put up a picture after it is done.

Since Valentines day we have just been working really hard. Ryan's company is keeping him busy and I have being working over 40 hours since before Christmas. It has been crazy busy at my work and it just does not slow down. So Ryan and I love the time we can have with each other.

Shoes

It has always been sort of a dream to own my own shoe store. It was a dream that I never even thought to go towards, but my husband is not like that. He thinks that if you have an idea/dream you should try it. (No we did not open a shoe store) However, we have started buying wholesale shoes and selling them here and there. I do not have a ton, but we are going to sale one shoe at a time and work towards one day possibly opening a shoe store. I have pictures of the shoes I already purchased. I am working on getting a couple more. If you are interested in any just let me know. They are priced really low. I feel that is what we need in today's world. I am going to be sending out brochure type things as soon as I get a couple more shoes.

I love this one!
