How did this happen?

This is my brother. The littlest one! How is he old enough to be going to Prom?!

Love you Ty!

Well, it finally happened. We got the iPad2. It has been a crazy journey to say the least but this was our (and by our I mean my because it was me that was in line and I also mean Chris because its kind of actually his) lucky day. A white bag with an apple on it always makes for a happy husband. Especially when you have a happy one to start with. I have a happy husband:)

A Couple More Californias

My first Sprinkles cupcakes. YUM.

This is the face of a girl who got up early to go to the Apple Store for her Hubs. She loves him.

This is what it looks like when it pours rain our whole trip. Perfect for relaxing inside.

We like sports, ok?

So you probably know already but hubs and I are big sports fans. Like for reals we laugh because its all we have pictures of from since we've lived here! Its winter guys, what else would we do but go to an insane amount of sports games? On that note, I will proceed to update you on about 3 things all of which involve a sport of some kind.

1) A couple of weeks ago we went to a Denver Nuggets game with a couple of people that Chris works with. My first Nuggets game! We had really great seats about 5 rows up.

2) Last weekend our friends Dane and Aimee Swenson came out for one of Dane's dental school interviews and got to stay with us! We had a lot of fun showing them, and our other friends James and Tracy Heiner who also got to come out from Utah, around the area, watching BYU basketball and hitting up the outlets. And, in keeping with the sports theme, we also went to an Avalanche game. They got killed (again) but we saw a couple of fights and enjoyed the company.

3) This past week Chris had a training for work in San Jose, California. What are the odds?! I more than willingly jumped at the chance to tag along and hang out with my G'ma for the week. We had so much fun shopping, talking, eating, baking, hanging out at home and going to a Sharks game! Hooray!

Snow/Love/Work/Laugh/Fun Day

Today Chris worked from home (which I love) so I took a snow day. This is what went down:

• Sleeping in (kinda) with some extended cuddles
• Singing songs to Chris as he worked in the other room
• Organizing the bedroom with stuff in our new dresser (more on this later!)
• Quality time with Hulu
• Trying hard not to talk to Chris as he worked...and failing miserably
• Whipping up some delish salted carmel hot cocoa
• Venturing out to get the mail (-10 with the windchill, people)
• Surfing the good old net
• Yelling "ping" anytime Chris got a message on his Office Communicator (thats the noise it makes)
• Stealing hugs
• Laughing out loud about this priceless and still unfolding Jimmer story
• And its only 8:00...

Online Obsessions

I've been meaning to write this post for awhile so here goes.

I have two new online obsessions. One I've been using for a couple of months and one for a couple of weeks.

1) SpringPad: SpringPad is pretty much a way to bookmark sites easily. I have all kinds of bookmark categories and they read like lists so it's easy to find things that I have saved.

2) Pinterest.com: This website is SO cool. It is a "social catalogue service." On Pinterest you create as many Pinboards as you want with whatever categories you want. I have boards for recipes, places I want to visit, home ideas, project ideas, style inspiration, etc. To pin things you just use a little bookmarklet that you install on your bookmark bar.
Picture a newsfeed all made up of pictures of beautiful things (rooms, clothes, quotes, places). That's what it is! It's just a place to share and grab what you love. Very addictive and a great way to link to new blogs, product sites and find things you might be looking for. If you like something on the board you can repin it to one of your boards. You can also follow other people's boards and they can follow yours. Pretty much, never be bored online again. This is how I spend my time these days haha.
Right now Pinterest is invitation only. I think I have a few to give out as a member and you can also request an invitation on the site. It took me a couple of days to hear back with an invite.

There you have it. Now get Springing and Pinning!
