Today is mine and Erics 1 year anniversary! I cant believe its been a year already. I feel like it should only be February not May! I cant say enough how much I Love Eric and how much fun we have together! We are always laughing and joking around. Its been the happiest year of my life. If the first year is supposed to be your hardest then I cant wait to see what the rest are like. This was like a walk in the park :)

For our 1 year anniversary we went to my favorite restraunt. Its called Tepanyaki- its like Benihana's (were they cook the food in front of you) Its fantastic. Eric had never been to this place, but he came home Saturday and said get ready we have reservations, so I hurried and got dressed and when we pulled into the restaurant I was SO excited. He also walked in with some beautiful flowers.

We then had to go home because I had to teach the Relief Society Lesson today (Have i mentioned our church is at 8:30 am?) So we rented a movie and i got ready for my lesson. We both had presents to give to each other but Eric made us wait till today, since our anniversary is actually today.

Finally after church we got to open our presents!! I got eric a Portable Laptop Desk from Brookstone, it has a pillow under it, so when you are laying on the couch you dont have to have your computer on your lap. You can place it on this pillow desk. he LOVED it!



For my presents Eric got my these Yellow shoes at Nordstroms that i have been wanting for about a month now!
So far we have both had a great day and we cant wait to start our next year together!

So once a month my friend Brit has a girls night activity. So this last month i went, and it was on baby gifts. We learned how to make a diaper clutch, how to personalize a onsie, and how to make baby head bands. It was so much fun and the girls that go are amazing! Here are my 3 headbands that i made. (almost sad that i dont have a baby to put them on... almost)





So i have 2 bathrooms in my apartment and i have been struggling with ideas on what to do. But then i found some cute surfer ideas - So these are the canvas' i made for my bathroom through my work. They are each 8x8, I Love them!
So once i did that, I realized i didn't really like my bathroom, so i had to redo it. So now this is what the Master Bathroom looks like.
I also wanted something to go above our headboard, so i borrowed this great picture of downtown Seattle and made that a canvas too! (you will soon realize i LOVE canvas)
Each of these canvas' is 8x20 in. It was a lot of fun to see if this would actually work, and i love it! I have a few more home decor projects in the works, so when i am finished i will be sure to post them.

First and foremost i have to say WE HAVE INTERNET! After 2 weeks or so without internet, we finally have it back and working. So with that I can now post everything that we did in April.
We started off April in St. George with Erics family, which is always fun, and of course my Birthday (April 1st, yes i know its April Fools Day)
So for my birthday Eric got me my own set of golf clubs!! My parents got me a new phone, so now i have a simply everything phone. And Erics parents got me a ring and Vera Wang Princess Perfume! I then got to go out with Eric's Grandpa's new wife VJ who used to be a Golf Pro, and learn how to golf. Eric and his parents said i was really good, they kept laughing cause i actually kept hitting the ball. Apparently beginners cant hit the ball.

After that it was Erics Birthday!



I made the cake the night before, it was HUGE! i couldn't even put my glass dome on top. Eric for his birthday got :
New Scriptures, a phone, a golf pass, and a new scrubby thing for the sink. :)

We then had our friends over to celebrate the last day of classes and Erics birthday. It was so much fun!!

Ok it has been crazy busy for me and Eric with school and work. This semester I am working full time and taking night class. Eric is spending more and more time with his internship as well and still managing to get a 4.0 Yay!! Since I last posted anything, we got a table, and Eric and my brother finally got to meet! Donald came home from his mission in Panama in February so we got to go home and spend family time together! I loved it!

I dont have a picture of all of us with Donald- so this one will have to do.
We also had Erics dad down to visit and so we spent one weekend up in Bountiful, its always fun when family comes into town!
So as many of you know i work for an online scrapbook company... well i needed an idea of what to put above our headboard. I borrowed a friends beautiful picture of Seattle and this is what i got!What i did was took 4 8x20 Canvas' and stretched the picture around the them. Anyways I LOVE it and when I got them at work everyone loved it. There will be more to come because i have found my new love for Digital Scrapbooking.

So I am a visual person, so as I lose weight instead of pictures of me I am going to post pictures of how much weight I lost. Eventually when i think i look cute enough or that i think the weight loss is big enough that someone will notice i will take a picture of that, but for now pictures of the weight is good enough. SO thus far in all about a week i have lost 20 sticks of butter... equals to 5 pounds. Surprising!

Today me and Eric made Frittatas and Caesar Salad. Since we have never made these before it was an adventure.

This year me and Eric spent the holidays with both our families! We are fortunate enough to only live about 45 minutes away. We spent most of the 2 weeks with my family but saw his family on Christmas Eve, the day after Christmas for his dad's birthday and for a few days before New Years.

Over break I learned that Eric is a XBox junkie at heart, my younger brother Andrew and Eric played Call of Duty every day for hours on end. I was totally fine with that, cause that meant the girls got to go shopping!

We had a tons of fun going to Christmas Eve parties, playing in Seattle, Playing Games except for Funglish, it sadly brought out the worst in Eric.

For New Years we spent the day with Eric's family getting ready for their New Years Party, where we had more crab legs than we knew what to do with.

So- its been awhile since I last wrote anything- so lets see if i can fill in whats been happening...

We got a PIANO!!! I have been so excited and I play it the minute i come home from work. I can't wait to go home and get all my piano music back so i really have a lot to play!





And i decorated for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but i only have some of my Christmas pictures.

Eric just finished his last final of the semester yesterday, and is more than excited to have these classes finished, since one of these classes is the hardest class he will have to take for his major.

Now we are just waiting for Tuesday to roll around so we can go HOME to Seattle!!! We would have left after his final, but I have to work till Tuesday morning :( But we are still counting down the days and are so excited its finally the weekend!!

So me and Eric moved from our little one bedroom apartment in Provo to our FABULOUS 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in Orem. We love our new place, there is so much light, and so much more space, and for me there is no mold : ) The only big downfall right now is the fact that we have been both so busy at work and with school and everything, we haven't quite had time to call the cable company. So we haven't been watching any TV, that means no Office, no Grey's Anatomy, no Wizards of Waverly Place, no Jonas Brothers... and sadly No football. Luckily we live like across the street from our friends the Cooks and they have an HD tv with HD channels, so at least for football we have been taken care of. And we were watching The Office and such on the internet, but sadly this week it has decided to go REALLY slow, so nothing will load. But we are actually enjoying no watching TV, we hang out with our friends more, we go on walks, we go window shopping. So instead of coming home and just sitting infront of the TV all night we are spending a lot more time together, which i love.

I just got to see my wedding pictures today and I LOVE them so much!! I cant wait to show everyone but i cant until i get the CD in the mail : ( But let me just tell you how beautiful they are!!

Other than that, this week Haylie came to Utah for EFY and tomorrow we are going to go to my uncles house for a 4th Party, with a blow up slip and slide, and fireworks. I will take pictures, my cousins rented it last year and had a lot of fun, so i cant wait!! Other than that nothing is new with me and Eric, we are just working and more working.

SO I was just checking out my blog and realized how much it sucks... well... at least not up to date. So i will add some pictures that we took in Utah at the end. We are now down to 19 days!!! Its going to go Super fast i think from here because there are so many things we need to do. Like next Monday we get our apartment which will be nice! Sadly the only furniture we have for it right now is air mattress that he can sleep on. But we will be deep cleaning the apartment before we move in because i dont trust other people cleaning. This is the last week of finals for Eric, but my finals start next week so there will be a lot of studying going on. Then May 6th we fly home and then that saturday we get married!! Crazy fast. I believe that is all that is going on in my life right now, Eric found out the other day that because we are getting married in the next couple of weeks and will be gone for so long, he cant work there...SO he will be looking for a job while i am at work. I think once we get back he can go in and talk to him about it, but we will see. Anywho, thats pretty much it! here are some of the pictures and i will do a better job of keeping this updated.
