My life lately

So as I promised, I am going to get back on the blog wagon! Since there is sooo much that I haven't shared, here's a few photos about what I have been up to!

Snowboarding at Park City

Officially became a nurse!

Sister-in-law got married and she looks AMAZING!!!

I went snowshoeing for the first time...

...and fell going downhill. Scott thought this was hilarious

We went to SD for Christmas this year and the weather was BEAUTIFUL! We had so much fun hanging out, going on hikes, going to the beach, beach break cafe... the usuals

Hiking in Torrey Pines

My good friend Lauren got married

Scott became a redneck... he found these old camo overalls and his parents bought a 4-wheeler and Polaris RZR

I surprised Scott with our anniversary at Red Lobster! Not a typical 1 year anniversary place, but Scott has always wanted to try it. He thought I got reservations at a fancy restaurant, but when I parked the car, he was SOOO surprised I picked Red Lobster. I think that was our last time going tho... Still not a fan!

We went to my first Mariners game. I have always been a Padres fan, but I guess I can root for the Mariners too.

Team Ichiro

Sorry I'm the world's worst blogger... but I plan on making a comeback when I take the biggest test of my life! Once I pass, I will officially be Jenna Hyde, RN!!! yesssss! I can't wait!

Silhouette Nick

I've been having fun in my computer applications and I wanted to share my latest project. I had to turn a photo I have taken into an abstract picture. It's pretty fun!

Some things I have been loving lately...

For some reason I woke up this morning with so much gratitude in my heart. Some of the small things that have been making me so happy are:

1. My Scott helping me become a better person each day

2. Scattered rainstorms.

3. Adobe illustrator (the possibilities are endless!)

4. Soel. I'm so lucky to be able to go to work and have a smile on my face.

5. Preparing for the NCLEX... this means I'm almost a nurse!

6. Exercising on a more regular basis

7. Friends coming back to Provo

8. Pandora, Lykke Li station

9. 100% for 100 days. Everyday I feel my testimony growing

This list can go on and on. Let's remind ourselves of the little things that make us happy! Gratitude is contagious!

recipe cards!

I'm really excited because I always wanted to organize my recipe box so that all the cards were the same, but that would have cost a fortune! Then I realized that I could make my own... so this is what I came up with. I'm excited to run to kinkos and get these printed off right away!

dilemma solved!

So I've always been pretty anti bathing suit online shopping, but I found this ADORABLE dkny swimsuit on ruelala (http://www.ruelala.com/invite/jhyde18) and decided I had to by it. I wanted something fun but with coverage. You can't really tell, but the stomach has a part that wraps around and ties. Plus it was a good price! I feel like I made a good choice... do you?

DIY

I can finally have some privacy when I shower! Before, we were just using the plastic liner as our main shower curtain. I am so picky when it comes to shower curtains so I decided to just make my own. I still need to iron it, but I was just too excited to put it up!

Strawberry Days Rodeo

On friday, Scott and I went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo in Pleasant Grove... We had sooo much fun. I couldn't believe it! When we pulled up, Scott said it wasn't going to be worth it, and I asked him "why". He said because "it didn't smell like manure enough". He was so excited that he even dressed up in his version of a cowboy. So cute!

This was our favorite event... they were teams of 2 and they had to milk a wild cow. You can't tell from this picture, but guys were getting dragged all over the rink and trampled on. I'm sure there were some bad injuries, but I was laughing so hard!

I had to get a picture of this because they were making such a big deal about this cowgirl (who kinda looked like a dominatrix cowgirl). All she could do was get buffalo to stand on her trailor... Maybe I just haven't been around buffalo enough to know how cool it is.

It doesn't hurt to dream.

Can I have all of these swimsuits? Anthro has such an amazing selection of one pieces this season, but the problem... they all cost between $150-$275! yikes! Does anyone know of a cute place to buy one pieces that don't cost almost my whole paycheck :)
