I don't know if it's the sunburn talking but I forgot to mention a couple of things that happened during the past week. James worked four days this past week because he took the week beforehand off. Our friends, Emily and Ryan, got married and we didn't want to miss it. It was really nice to have James home a whole week. Commuting like that sucks. During our travels of last week we made some stops on the way to Midvale. Our first stop was to Kaysville to say hi to my parents and to admire the new paint in the entry way. I'm not going to lie, I didn't notice the new paint because it's so close to the former color. I did notice the trim paint though. Our other stop was in Salt Lake to pick up this beauty:
Behold! Our wedding album!
It's massive and shiny and it looks so great.
I am really, really, REALLY happy with how it all turned out.
Becky Reed at Ravenberg photography was responsible. If you have an event coming up or you need new family pictures,
contact her. Seriously. She was so great.
James and I also made homemade pasta with his Mom's pasta maker. It was really fun and it might be a Christmas possibility. I figure I can write stuff like that on here because James doesn't read my blog (usually.)
I really like that it's a hand crank design, the "extruder" type sort of creeps me out. I think it's because it reminds me of playdough and the toys associated with it.
Another thing, Pinterest kind of bums me out sometimes. I realize that I won't always be in school and that I will eventually graduate and no longer be a student but MAN it seems to take a long time! (almost as long to read that last sentence.) There are so many fun recipes to try, crafts to make, things to try; it makes me kind of depressed to know that James and I are going to be students for two more semesters. Only TWO. I should hang on to that and stop griping.
Tomorrow will be my 23rd first day of school (not counting spring semesters.) Isn't that kind of disgusting? I've been going to school since I was five and I only missed one fall semester due to my mission. It's kind of mind boggling.
I've finished all of the plates except for the bottom row (minus the one second from the left) and I'm really close to finishing. I wanted to have so much more of the show ready for the time that school started again. This was hampered by the minor renovations in the costume shop and I didn't want to add to the mess by pulling costumes. Anyway. Here are all of the costumes for Proof, but it will probably change because that's what usually happens in theatre. I'm pretty proud of the fact that I've rendered an ENTIRE show. Shoot.
We had just one car at strike so we shoved everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in our car. Good thing we didn't have James' drums in there too!
James and I took a quick trip up to a cute shop in Preston called Suppose. I bought some really cute fabric and I'll post a picture when I finish the project.
This is a really old picture from our last place. James sent me flowers when he went on a field trip with the engineering department. He's really sweet.
This one is random but I shot this last night while we were channel surfing. Can you believe this guy's hair?
This was easy because Shabby Apple dresses are so cute and modest, two things that are for dresses! When I started designing a spring time dress I immediately thought of green. Not only is it my favorite color but it is one thing that I look forward to after a long winter.
If I were to construct this dress I would use a light green cotton with a slight sheen to it, not too shiny and not too plain.
Cotton would be the best fabric to use because it will hold the pleats used in the trim. Cotton is also a classic, just like a shirt dress. I think that the details; piping, pleated trim and covered buttons will dress up an otherwise basic shirt dress.
Yes, it is wedding paper but I added "anniversary" so it's legit. Right?
James and his excited face.
Getting closer...
Tah-dah! 
Anyway, I don't usually go to gigs because of the venue but I'm glad I went this time because...
