"I don't know about you, but I'm feelin' 22!"

BIRTHDAY YO!

Guess who had a birthday!? This girl! And it was fun fun! As I get older, I realize that all I
really want on my birthday is to spend time with the people I love, you know? And eat good food haha!

So my birthday fell on a Sunday this year (June 14th), so the husband took me for birthday festivities the day before on Saturday :). We went to the temple, which is ALWAYS amazing :). Then we went to Dave & Busters for the first time. It was fun, but I'm not sure if we'll do it again haha! Then he took me to Red Lobster (because I love sea food). Then he took me to the movies to see Tomorrowland! All was wonderful and I had a blast! 

Then the next day was the birthday :). ON SUNDAY! And for those who don't know, Sunday is pretty much my favorite day of the week!!! So, we went to church and that was wonderful!

And then I went to see my older sister! She made me a birthday cake and a card :). 

                                   

Then I went to my grandparent's house for Indian Tacos! AND I even got to FaceTime/talk to one of my FAVORITE families! THE JOLLEY'S!!! They are just amazing! It was fun to hear them sing to me and hear about all their adventures going on! I miss them.

Over all, amazing birthday :). Can't wait to see what 22 has for me!! 

The Organizer in Me!

Okay, so for those of you who don't know, I'm a bit of neat freak. I thought my husband would be annoyed of it, but he tells me he likes it, because everything is always so neat and clean. I love that he's okay with my obsession :). Anyway, so one of my jobs, besides nannying two cute little boys, I work for my grandparents too. Which requires doing a lot things that they might not have the energy or capability to do anymore. Which includes taking care of their three foster kids (more nannying) haha :). So the other day I went over to my grandparent's house and no one was home. I was wondering where everyone was and what was I supposed to do while I waited for them? I looked over and saw this mess from one of the kids...

I tried to ignore it at first. Then I thought, maybe I can just put it in a pile or something so it's not so spread out. Then I thought that maybe I could just organize it into a few categorized piles. Anywho, long story short... I ended up washing all the clothes, getting out the label maker, getting organizer containers and putting everything in a correct place. Haha!

Maybe I have a problem, I don't know. But oh well, he loved his new area :).

What's Happening?

Okay, I know I've been away for a while, but things have been busy! I started a new job! I'm nannying two little boys! They are so cute and energetic! It's such a blast riding bikes and running around outside and playing hide-and-seek! I'm so glad that I've been able to find a job! James is already working TWO jobs, because he's amazing! And now I'm working. So we don't get to see each other very much :/, but it's only going to be like this for a couple months. We're staying positive and making sure that we talk whenever we can :).

And it's finally starting to feel like 

SUMMER!!!

I love the heat and the sun! It's my favorite :). Oh! And this past Saturday we had the Elder missionaries over for dinner and that was a blast! I just love missionaries! Haha! maybe I'm biased because I once was one, but hey, oh well! 

Other than that, nothing really new. Just working, get ready for the big move to Utah, and enjoying this beautiful summer and my hectic happy :).

Let's Bake!

So you know all the food pins that you've pinned on Pinterest? How many of them have you ACTUALLY done? I can answer that. None. Until my cousins 10 birthday party. Now, I've never really been a huge baker... I like to eat baked goods! But I'm not very good at creating it haha!

So my cute cousin, Chloe, LOVES zebra print and I remembered a pin that I pinned on Pinterest of a zebra cake on the INSIDE! Check it out >>> HERE!


It totally worked! It's not as cool as the one from the website, but hey, this was my first time. Here are pics of MY baking experience.
