my husband the track star

Lance had a great track season this year, breaking his
personal record twice! I was very excited to go with him
and his dad, Scott, to Eugene Oregon for track Regionals.
BYU was very well represented with over 30 team
members who qualified. It was a lot of fun to watch
our athletes compete against some of the nation's best

athletes. I am so proud of Lance and all his hard work
and dedication this year.
I love you honey!

While almost all of Lance's meets were in other states,
we really enjoyed when Lance had a home meet at BYU.
It's always a blast getting together with friends and family
and enjoying the sunshine and good company. Plus,
Lance consistently takes top 3 which makes for very exciting races.


I would upload more photos but my camera has gone
dead and it's my bed time :) More photos later!

life never slows down

Oh my goodness! It has been quite awhile since I've signed on and posted. And, I dont have time to post a real post now either. I just wanted to say that Lance & I are still alive and breathing.... and very very busy! But when I get a spare moment I will post again. Many posts and pictures to come. In the meantime, here is a picture I took the other day of my adorable niece Kenna.

She is just too cute!

al's bridal shower

Alisa Kathleen is getting married! She is the bestest
friend a girl could ask for. It was so much
fun to go to St. George to help throw her a bridal
shower and celebrate this huge event in her life.
And also to spend time with my 3 best
friends who all live in St. George.



When Alisa was over showing me her engagements,
I stole a few and decided to do the shower invite over
the top of one. Surprise :) Good thing she loved them!

Chrissy, Jennica, Alisa & Whitney


The entire group of us.


I got a new recipe for mint truffles from a friend at school.
Seriously, so good! And very easy too.


I made these cream puffs from scratch from a Lion
House recipe. These are very yummy too :)



The somewhat embarrassed bride-to-be

Her new clock- time was the theme of the shower.
I'm so happy for you Al!

favorites

Since school has been so busy, I have not had much time to
let my creative side express itself. I feel like ideas are
screaming inside of me, just waiting to come to life! I have
our entire guest room planned out from handmade
velvet charcol bed skirts and curtains to wall-hangings
and dozens of ideas for new wood projects- not to
mention the orders I haven't had a second to work
on! So today, i decided i needed a little creative
escape to blog. Too bad homework! So here are
a few favorites as of late:

1. Regina Spektor's begin to hope: she is so great
& her music inspiring. plus, she's gorgeous!



2. Deseret Industries: the best $9.75 ive spent
in a long time



you cant tell too well from the pic but the gray fabric is
fabulous! i cant wait to make a skirt or pillow sham.
seriously. i love people that give to di! i love giving to
di myself- prob why i dont feel guilty at all for getting
really great stuff for almost nothing :) i will be a
regular there until i find some good niightstands
to redo for Lance & I.

3. My Lion House cook book: the recipies should
be all from scratch and take hours, right? not so.
I am loving to pull it out when we are in a time
crunch and making something fabulous. The latest:
parmesan ranch chicken with noodles & red sauce.
Mmmm. And took about 30 minutes.


4. Green Tea HP: my current favorite for energy
in jam-packed long days.




if you haven't heard, Lance & I opened a kiosk selling
this in the st. george mall. If you have not heard about
it or tried it, you are missing out! seriously, this stuff
is great. Not only have i lost a couple pounds, it gives
you a great even energy for hours and hours. I can
tell a big difference especially in classes. Not to mention
all the health benefits of its jam-packed antioxidant
power. Wondering if this is against the word of wisdom?
Its not. The creaters wanted all the health benefits
without all the bad stuff. Tanic acid and almost all
caffiene are gone. Whats left is 50 cups worth of
antioxidants in one bottle and a surprisingly great taste.
