penguin suit

I just have to share this photo on my blog (I hope you don't mind JanaRae), because it made my day! So my 5 year old nephew is obsessed with penguins! Seriously, when I was at his house we colored pictures of penguins and he told me all these facts about them. He loves them so much that for his birthday (which was on Tuesday), all he wanted was a penguin party and a penguin suit. So my amazing sister in law sewed him a penguin suit.

How awesome is this? I love it!

Swimsuit giveaway!

So... remember those swimsuits I just posted? Well, good news! Lime Ricki is doing a giveaway for a free swimsuit! Yay! You just have to go to their blog & leave a comment telling them which suit of theirs you like the best. I just entered and since I am such an awesome friend, I am telling you about it too :). I realize this creates more competition for me, but I don't care. I would love to win a free swimsuit, but I would also love one of my friends to win a free swimsuit. So... if you liked the swimsuits you saw, go and enter their giveaway here.

p.s. I start working today. First city I get to find cool things about is San Diego!

Swim Time!

Lately this semi-warm weather has got me thinking about summer! And that got me thinking about swimming... and then i thought about getting a new swimsuit! Honestly, I don't really need a new swimsuit, but every summer I always want a new one :). I think they're fun to shop for. I usually go to Shade (that's where I got mine last summer). But then I looked at their new swim line and I wasn't too excited. So I started searching, found this other site that sells modest swimwear called Lime Ricki and I love their swimsuits (well... most of them)! They have sooo many cute ones! They are also cheaper than Shade, which is fabulous! I thought I'd share this site with all of you, in case you too are wanting a new swimsuit.

Another reason I want a new swimsuit is because I have been planning our trip to Disneyland in May. I'm sure we'll either swim at the beach or at least at the hotel.

Here are the ones I liked the best... I'm not sure which one I would want, so I'm asking you to vote! Then I can see which one everyone likes the best :). Plus I love polls, they are so fun. Please vote on the right- thanks!



Hmmm.... I must like pink :) Cute, right? I think they're so fun! Now good look at them for yourself... here.

And in other good news... I have been looking for a job for a long time. I feel like I have sent my resume to every job in Utah County! Ok... not quite that much, but I have applied to a lot of places. I even had a lot of interviews, but most of the time once I went to the interview, I didn't really want the job (ok maybe I was being a little picky). Anyway, I graduated 3 months ago and I was getting so sick of looking! Then... at Dan's work, they landed this huge client, that needs tons of help on his website. So Dan was telling me how they need to hire 2 new people, just to work on the site of this client. Well... Dan talked to his boss to see if maybe I could work for them. And he said yes! Hooray! However, they think it would be best if I work from home (husband/wife at work... may be weird for some people?) Anyway... how sweet is that? So basically I get to write content for this guys' web page. It's a site about things to do in different cities across the U.S. He pretty much wants pages about EVERY city in the U.S. So it's quite the task and I get to help write all of them. I'm pretty excited because I love looking up stuff like that and I'm pretty sure I'm going to find tons of places I want to go on vacation. I'm really excited to start working in the comfort of my own home :). And thanks to my husband for always being super awesome!

Other good news... I just put up my Easter decorations.

Last bit of good news... My parents come home in 3 months! Woo hoo!

Things are definitely starting to look up :)

Headboard= complete

We finished the headboard! If you saw my post 2 spots down, then you know I've been wanting to making a headboard I saw on DIY. Well we did it, and here it is...

I think it definitely makes a difference in the room. If you go to my craft blog you can see before and after shots. I love it and it only cost us around $20 to make. Plus it was very easy- I didn't like the sanding part, but other than that, it was great!

Guess What???

Dan and I have a new website! I'm really excited about it b/c I think it's looking pretty great! We decided to create a restaurant review website b/c we go out quite a bit. Plus it's something fun for us to do together.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

It's mostly for Utah Valley restaurants, but a lot of them can be found other places. So even if you don't live down here, I'm sure some of it may still be helpful. Plus we've got a page of deals at different places all over. Link to us on your blog, check back often, we're always going to new places, so it'll be updated frequently!

Hope you like it!
