Finally,

Some wedding photos (posted by aaron)....

Of course our close friend Jessica Peterson was our photographer. Thanks Jess!

thank goodness - -

- - it's friday.

food for thought.

"It is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us--even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- - Joseph B Wirthlin

welp.

i may have stolen this from bethany's blog, but after watching the elections last night, i just couldnt help myself.

communication problems.

i have problems.

i have finally come to publicly admit that i have communications problems.

i, more importantly, want to apologize to all of those who have been affected by my negligent communication skills, primarily those who i love. please know that however long we may go without talking, i still do love you and think about you daily. * a very special thanks to my best friends in the whole world, rachel and breanne for always understanding and picking up right where we left off the last time.

i never wanted this weakness of mine to affect my husband, but i think this morning i let my problem get the best of me.

i am so sorry boo.

couch potatoe

dont get me wrong, i love our little zebra couch. how rad is this though.

a big high five--

--to my fantastic husband.

this weekend the offer that he made, with his buyer clients, got accepted. the paperwork is in the works and i could not be happier for him. he has worked so hard this past year and i am so pleased that he is seeing the fruits of his labors.

Happy Halloween!

We had a party....

Thanks to John and Lauren for the music and goodies (above, left) and Brock and Lindsey for helping us throw the party! (above, right) You guys rock!

--on these bad boys.

my weakness

= carbs.
ya, i am a sucker for bread what can i say. so obviously my night with mom oldham teaching me how to make home made wheat bread was a highlight, to say the least.

wish me luck this weekend trying things on my own.

does anyone else,

have a husband that is as talented as mine? probly not.

here he is singing for his album 'organ for jonah'. thanks to kev we have this fabulous picture.

hats off

to mothers. although it may not be mother's day a mother's worth does not depreciate. i found this little article, 'the price of a mom: $138,095' on my friend christin's blog and i could not be more impressed.

so hats off to all the cleaned up messes, the long nights without sleep, the patience with tempers, the carpool to school and practice, the creative strategies and ideas and more importantly the love for your children and husband. hats off to the mothers in the world and more importantly the mothers in my life.

happy belated

birthday to husband.
husband who teaches me new things everyday. like how to appreciate the small things, how to love unconditionally, how to laugh without reason, how to persevere in hard times, how to work on my talents and how to listen with open ears and mind.

husband, i love you.

one day -

- we won't live in a basement apartment.
- we will have a deck that looks out into the forest or beach.
- we will be able to put holes in our walls.
- we won't have to worry about spiders under our pillows.
- we will have bright natural light beaming in from huge windows.
- we can have a white couch.


for now i love our little place; a space, however small, that aaron and i can call our own.

gimme some:

peace. i have noticed, be it the upcoming election, the current war that we are in, or the up and coming 60's/70's revival, the peace sign is every where. i think i could sport this subtle suggestion.peace, love and harmony, ya baby.

im finding,

that etsy has quite a bit to offer my selfish feminine desires.

i love this ring; reminds me of a bracelet that my papa made my mom that i now have and love.
i am a fan of this darling little design, and for 8 bucks, this might just be a steal.
i'm not going to lie, this just makes me smile.

my development

has recently been 'arrested development'. who knew a family could be more messed up than mine; kinda refreshing.Michael: Since when are you against leather?

Maeby: Yeah, you're not even a vegetarian.
Lindsay: Well, I'm not against the insides. I mean, people need meat to survive.
Michael: You are aware they don't remove it surgically, right?

-thanks kris and bethany. you have forever changed my life.

im into

little rows of pretty things.

plan around--

--this sweet design from chistiaan postma. this kinda reminds me of those people that decorate with pictures from their old inspirational calenders, but cooler. a lot cooler.

red slippers

i have never been the biggest fan of red, but i think i could live in this little shop by hayon studio forever.

lovers chair

from italian designer nacho carbonell. his purpose seems abstract, but i love the creativity of his whole line.

word

aaron found this rockin site. i am all about finders keepers, but i am fine sharing this little diddy with you.

oct 11th

marks the first snow in provo utah.

bring it on winter.

best husband award goes to . . .

. . . aaron oldham for . . . bringing me bright orange flowers after work, whisking me off to d.i., then dinner and a movie. what a friday night, am i right?
