LOVE (with two "O"s)

My Husband. There are many reasons why but today it is because of these...
My new bedroom curtains that I LOVE. I have been looking for new curtains for our bedroom for a while. But unfortunately I felt like I "painted" myself into a corner as far as the curtain options because we painted our bedroom a light shade of blue before we moved in. **TIP: It is EXTREMELY difficult to get the perfect shade of blue. After about 3-4 blue samples were painted on our walls I finally settled with the current blue in our room. Which I am not in love with...it's too blue and not enough grey. But it was crunch time and I had to just go for it. Maybe one of these days when I am feeling ambitous I will repaint it.** I LOVE red but I have NO red in my house, until now. I found the perfect pair of curtains with all of the colors that I love that still matched my blue walls at a store called Cost Plus World Market in California. So I brought them home and was going to wait to put them up until I found the perfect comforter to match. I thought it was going to take a long time to find the perfect one or that I would have to end up making one (I don't even know if you can make a comforter but I was going to try), BUT a few days later I found one at Target and bonus it was on SALE! So I got home that night around 10:00 and wasn't expecting to put the room together that night because Jason had had a headache all day. BUT he knows me so well and knows that when I get something new or start a project I have to finish it. And he was awesome enough to offer to put up these curtains at 10:00 at night even though he didn't feel good. THAT is why I love my husband today.
Even though he might not completely understand why our room (which pretty much WE only see) needs to look good, he knows that it makes me happy to have beautiful surroundings. I am very grateful that when I come home with a new decoration or think of a new home improvement project, he is right there beside me (actually usually he is on a ladder) with a screwdriver ready to work! And now I feel like we have a somewhat "grown-up" bedroom with some things that match instead of a hodge podge of accessories.

I LOVE this guy.
I love his round bald head.(brother- Gavin, Me, and PJ PJ Puddin Pie)
What do you think? Me in a few years? Maybe... Hopefully!

Another thing I LOVE is that my cousin Tiawni (prounounced tee-ahn-ee) is home from her mission. (Disclaimer- this is not the best picture but I didn't have another one of us handy so I did it small so you can't see it very well.)
We have been really close since we were little. She recently got home from a mission in Houston, Texas. She also recently moved to North Ogden and began working for a dentist. SO we have been able to hang out a few times since she has been home and I LOVE it! She makes me laugh so hard. When we were little I would get the WORST headaches when we would hang out cuz I would constantly be laughing. Also- Jason and I have been racking our brains to find some nice young man to set her up with but we just can't think of anyone. So if you have any suggestions leave me a comment! I know I am shameless!

Well, Nicole I must say that I was extremely flattered when you said you read my blog.....AND when you said my posts are "entertaining." My husband rolled his eyes when I let him know that I have a solid fan-base. Anyway, I read your blog all the time, seeing as Jason and I grew up together. BUT since you're the blog author I feel like I know you now too, and I also find your writings very entertaining and genuine. Thanks for letting me read your life, and thanks for reading ours! P.S. I liked the image I had of Jason running away from you in the store.....and then I imagined him hiding in the circular close racks like my two year old does....anywho, nice to meet you.:)
