february in photos.

I'll be real with ya, I really did not feel like blogging in February. but today IS The last day so I feel like i need to document something. We are headed away for the weekend and lemme tell ya. after a week like the past couple ones, we need a little get away. Everything has been so busy. I feel like I am grateful if I get to spend more than 30 minutes with Nate before we go to bed most nights.  peace out Feb.

We went to malad on a Friday night in the semi.how classy.I bought my first lotto ticket!

I read somewhere the long sleeve tied around the waist is making a comeback. HAHA I'm gonna milk that one for all that I possibly can.

It was such a pretty night. Until we got stuck in the mud. In a semi. for 6 hours. not so pretty.

I've perfected the green smoothie! hallelujah. now if only i could get Nate to try.

We went to Sc heel's for Nate's birthday. HE was in HEAVEN. Don't tell him but I was, too.

this jeep is really old. and extremely dirty. and very noisy. but oh, it is fun.

Love this birthday boy of mine.

our ward is learning the waltz. it is painfully awkward to watch. What's more awkward is when a priest from the other ward asked me to dance with him  not realizing I'm a leader. not sure if i should be offended or flattered.

I was matching with the skunks. That's normal.. right?

We kinda like eachother

Planx for dayzzz

new leggings always make for a brighter day.

We have been loving this WARM weather! Taking long walks on dirt roads is my fav.

embark on new adventures

I am so glad it's FRIDAY! send praises. And better than that. Today marks the last day of dreaded January!! eek I really hate that month, at least we made it. So I am really looking forward to our weekend plans! Sometimes the weekdays are hard because Nate gets home around 7 and then I have to be at school from 8-10:30. Safe to say we are both feeling a little deprived of eachothers time and I'm excited to spend tonight with just HIM.

I love our cozy apartment lately

We went bowling for this darling 7 year olds B-day.



they act so much alike i think



My only goal in bowling is to get to the 100 point mark.



Love these fun girls



Shopping for mamas birthday with my favorites

a few hidden gems.

Today I was searching for ONE specific photo that I can NOT find anywhere. ugh. I hate losing stuff. But in the process I did find some photos that I had completely forgotten about! I love that about photos.
 and that is why I will continue to take a million for the rest of my life. I love that you can snap a photo so quick and not think twice about it. And then a few months or even years later you go back and look at that photo and it means a  whole lot more.
