picture this.

When Lissa offered to take some pictures of me and the hubberz, I was thrilled! I had been following her adorable blog for awhile and was probably more excited to meet her then have our pictures taken :) Lucky me she dragged her husband and sweet little baby with her to the shoot and I was tickled to meet the little one in person.

It is funny, I have never met anyone that I know from the blog world in real life before, and it was pretty fun to put a real face to the blog version of someone :)

Love him :)

Lissa had a challenge with me and Trevor that I should have probably warned her about.... Trevor taking pictures can be an awkward event, haha. At one point even she couldn't help burst out a laugh with how uncomfortable the poor guy is in front of a camera! haha She was amazing with us! She really made us comfortable and on top of that, is pretty dang entertaining. The end result is just adorable. I love them :)

So check her stuff out, you wont be disappointed!

glasses blues.

So remember this post about how I am an old lady and can't see anymore? Well I went with the tortoise pair if you were wondering, and when I got them in the mail... they were even prettier in real life. I put them on my face... held my breath... and.... no. sad moment. I know the bigger framed, dare I say "nerdy" glasses are in right now... but these were NOT flattering. I knew I had a very small and petite face, but I didn't realize just how small. These things were pretty funny, and I had got their smallest pair. If you don't believe me you can check out the skype chat I had with my mama to get her opinion....

I have always had a beautiful pair of Coach glasses that I love. But wanted to try something new that had spunk. The second I took the Ray Bans off I tried on my Coach ones and fell in love all over again. They just suit my face so much better, and something I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear in front of a bunch of young students in the classroom haha. So it looks like I am keeping it simple and classic ladies and gents.... I guess I shouldn't be surprised, that really seems to sum up my style anyhow.

But on a happier shopping note...

I wanted to share with you a site that was sent to me called  Zestii At first I thought this sounded too good to be true, but guess what? It is just that good. I have already bought items through it and I am loving it. Are you ready for this? First and foremost, it is totally FREE to sign up. Then select stores, which they have a great collection of them by the way, you can actually earn a percentage back from what you spend. Does that make sense? Here is the breakdown... 1. SHOP Click through their partners for the store, brand or product you are looking for and earn $ based on how much you spend. Each store has a different percentage you can earn. 2. REDEEM Check back a few days after your order has shipped and redeem $ for cash, products and gift cards. I usually just use mine to pay me back through pay pal. Some of these stores I shop online at all the time, so why not get a few dollars off every time I do? It adds up!

I bought two pairs of shoes at LuLus and got $10 back! I like the sound of that. I always think if you have found something great, share it, so here you guys go :) Oh and when you sign up, you instantly get a $5 credit, so they are basically paying you to sign up, a win win :)

The Best Day

Someday Trevor and I will have children, and I know when that day comes, our wedding day will take second seat to the best day in our lives. But we will never forget the day that started it all, and was the beginning of our family and life together. It really was the best day, and one that I know we both will never forget.

One beautiful Tuesday morning in August...


The Celebration...

Law School Roller Coaster!

Let me just start by saying, this whole law school thing has been one crazy adventure! The stress of the LSAT, applying and waiting to hear back from schools is not very "exciting." Well  actually I guess it is exciting, but not when you are waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Trevor studied his buns off for the LSAT and was feeling super confident with his practice tests. Then he got nervous. I have never seen him so nervous ever in my life. He didn't sleep a wink the night before. He ended up scoring about nine points lower then he was averaging on his practice tests. Nine points might not seem like a lot, but in the LSAT world.... it is huge. He was pretty bummed out, but I tried telling him he should still be proud of himself.

He obviously didn't suck as bad as he thought, since he got into all 7 of the law schools he applied to, as well as some scholarship offers! At one point we thought we were for sure going to the University of Utah, then to ASU, and the finally we decided BYU would be the better fit for us (as well as it being Trevor's top pick!)

I just want to say I AM SO PROUD OF YOU TREVOR! 

&even though we wont be moving far, I am excited for this new adventure in our life. LOVE YOU.

So that rights people, we are going to BYU LAW SCHOOL!  

AND don't think for one second that this means I am a BYU fan now. I will be a die hard UTES fan for LIFE! &if I ever have any BYU apparel, it will clearly say LAW on it and the BYU part can be in the tiny  little hard to read letters, haha.
