Summing up August

We have been so crazy busy! For me, work has been insane.. It's back to school time so everyone is coming in for back to school haircuts! It's been fun being busy though. I've also been on pinterest so much lately looking for inspiration for my home. I'm so sick of all these white walls in my apartment. However, I don't wanna spend my spare money on crafty stuff.. So not much is going on there. But I will get to my pinterest projects in a second..

Aren't they pretty? The 11th of August was Anthany and I's 6th month anniversary. So he surprised me with these flowers when I got home. Which was a big deal cause the last time he got me flowers it was kind of a disaster.. Not sharing that story :] haha We also celebrated by going out to eat at Cracker Barrell and using our two free movie tickets to see the Dark Knight Rises... again. I really don't think Anthany could be any more obsessed with Batman.

First day of school!!! Woohoo!! Anthany finally started school today after months of waiting! He was pretty excited and I was excited to take a classic first day of school picture :] I'm proud of him for working so hard. I'm sure it's not easy to get up at 6 for work... work five hours.. then go to school for a couple more hours... then come home to lots of homework! He is pretty incredible.

My latest pinterest project was I saw a way to clean a microfiber couch.. Our couch is probably 6 or 7 years old.. and survived a household of five kids before becoming ours.. So it was pretty grubby. So I sprayed alcohol on it and scrubbed my little heart out. The pictures don't really do it justice. 

So before....

And after...

Not bad right? I think it is going to take a couple more times of scrubbing it down to take care of the layers of dirt but I'm excited it's looking better! I'm gonna let my arms rest before I work at it anymore! 

My big sister Briana gets married on Friday! So on Thursday, Anthany and I will be making another trip back to Rigby. It should be really fun! I LOVE family time. And with all the planning the wedding is sure to be amazingly beautiful. I'm excited and so happy for Bri and Doug. Bri found a cute idea on Pinterest for a chalkboard with sort of a love timeline. So I was happy to try it out :] I came across this adorable chalkboard at TJMaxx.. well I had a different one first. But when I pulled the sticker with the brand name off, it took off some of the chalkboard paint with it! Grr.. so frustrating! Luckily they exchanged it for this one.. and Anthany took off the sticker so very carefully for me :] Anyways, I think it turned out adorable!

Our neighbor friends that we worked so hard to force them to spend time with us moved away! So all that work for nothing :[ haha we are gonna miss them! I'm trying to stay motivated with blogging, but it's hard when I'm so busy doing pretty much the same thing everyday.. so I will try harder haha I will definitely blog after the wedding!

Eve of Destruction

Last night, Anthany and I got to go to the Eve of Destruction.. for free!! Anthany's work got us free tickets to go and we also got to get free burgers, fries, and drinks while we were there! Such a sweet deal! Anyway, so it was mostly a whole lot of car racing with some destruction at the end! 

It was Anthany's Aunt Lori's birthday so she was wearing a pretty awesome hat :] The little boy next to me in this picture was driving me crazy1 He was basically on my lap the entire time and he just kept touching me. Super annoying. About halfway through the thing it was losing our attention. Luckily that's when the destruction happened :]

These cars were pretty cool.. but I don't understand what the things on the tops of them were for... plus a pickup had  to drive behind them and push them for them to get started.. weird. I don't understand alot of things about racing haha

This was my favorite car! It was called Porky's Revenge :]

They had these two cars hanging way up high and then they dropped them on a van.. it really wasn't exciting as it sounds..

I love fun, free dates! 

They kept blowing stuff up.. then there would be this weird ring of smoke in the air forever. kinda cool!

This catfish car's driver was pretty insane

This is the Porkys car during the boat races! There was like 25 cars all with boats attached to the back of them. The winner was whoever still had their boat attached at the end! It was sweet to watch cars crashing all over the place. So that was a pretty fun night :] This next week I'm covering at work for a girl that is going out of town so I'm picking up lots of hours and I don't get a day off :[ bummer. But it will be good. So that's pretty much all that will be going on this next week! Plus Olympic gymnastic event finals all week. WOOHOO!

Guess You Had to be There....

My favorite thing about Anthany is his ability to make me laugh. I think his sense of humor is the funniest thing in the world..
For example.. Today I come home to an extremely clean apartment. Dishes done... floors vacuumed.. dirty clothes organized... he even wiped down the front door! The whole nine yards... So I said "You are so amazing and perfect.. it makes me feel inadequate..." and turns to me and says "Wait am I in trouble?" Haha I thought it was so funny. I always go to work and share the hilarious things Anthany does and says and receive this awkward silence like people don't understand what was funny. Then I feel like a fool so I usually say "Yeahhh... guess you had to be there." Maybe that's true. Or maybe I'm just super easily entertained haha but I think my husband is the funniest!
I haven't blogged for a long time. I've been busy with work.. but mostly I just don't know what to blog about. Seriously not much is going on lately with us. To prove how chill life has been lately.. let me give you a run down of our "big" events lately...
1. I quit growing out my bangs.. so I have bangs again
2. Soooo much Olympics it's ridiculous. If you are wondering the results of anything.. don't waste your time going online to find out.. just ask us. We could probably give a more detailed description of what happened too.
3. Our friends quit hanging out with us after Anthany accidentally slipped and said "My dad loves his low budget porn movies" instead of "My dad loves his low budget HORROR movies." Oops :]
4. Maverick currently has $1 extra large drinks. We have taken advantage.
5. Anthany finally got his beloved Macbook Pro. So we finally have something new to talk about then when he was gonna get it haha

That's really all that I can think of. It's been nice having a lazy summer.. well lazy besides our jobs haha. Work is going great. I think after my impressive ombre this week and my growing clientele, I'm finally holding my own with the girls. I feel less and less like the new girl every week. When Anthany starts up school in a couple weeks.. I will definitely have more me time which I plan to fill with watching Desperate Housewives, keeping up with my share of the cleaning, and hopefully blogging :] Anyways, I hope you enjoyed a little update.
