Dont these look like robin's eggs?! Well they are M&M's and I love them. They are chocolate covered almonds. There isn't a better combo around. I swear. Forget carrots when chocolate looks this good :)

Journal, I love you. Even though you are gigantic. And very heavy in my big purse. There is something very satisfying about writing in my journal. Just that feeling of insecurity lifts away and I'm left with raw and pure emotions. I've been keeping a journal since I was in the 2nd grade. Thanks Amelia's Notebook! :) I remember writing in class when I should of been listening to something about how to combine elements? or something? I hated Chem. And I remember people looking at me and wondering what I was doing. Good thing I was one of those girls that "didnt care what people thought" My journals, have every single major event in them. Please dont read them, I would be too embarassed..

If you saw me right now, this is me. I didn't realize how creepy I looked. Good thing i'm not showered or have any makeup on. I'm HOT!

Can I just tell everyone, how much I love Polyvore? Okay, I love it A LOT. How cute would I be at the farmers market? Oh, i just need a pound of zucchini.. thanks :)

what's missing?

My wedding ring. The ring he gave me the day we got married in november of 07. It's usually right there. I rest my coffee mug on it. I think not wearing our rings, has been one of the hardest things. Why? It just didn't seem right. We want to be able to put them on together again. We are going to do it together. We pinky promised. I miss it. My hand looks naked. I feel lost without looking down and be able to think about him. Now when I look down, I think about how I messed up and how distant we really are from each other.. I miss you today baby..

Even though I drank a whole keg..

I still feel pretty good about myself. Okay, I didn't drink a WHOLE keg, but it feels like. I drank all weekend during Megan's wedding and I shared a couple pitchers with Jen and Calvin. Ugh. Good thing I'm up to make goals this month :)

May Madness:

Looking cute before going out on friday

Such a sweet moment. We were watching the office.. I dont know why she isn't laughing!

Maybe it has something to do with it NOT being the funniest episode of ALL time.

Question: Which bear is best?
Fact: Brown bear

bears. beets. battlestar galactica.
Lookin' good Dwight.

this is how we do it

Does this look like anyone else's morning? I try to start my day by making lists. Looking at my calendar and figuring out my schedule for the week. It looks like i'm a busy girl, but dont be alarmed. I'm not. I just like to write down everything! My husband loves it too. There is no surprises when I'm not home for some reason. I make a list of all my To-Do's for the week too. Things that are silly like :

• Clean Bathroom (tub, tile and floor)
• Tanning
• Grocery Shopping (with lists)
• Clean off top of the dryer
• Pack for Olive and I
• Wash, hang, fold ALL laundry .. eek

Monday, we went on a beautiful walk over at Irene Rinehart Park. I love it there. I love it so much, we got married there. Crazy right? It was perfect. But it's our park. I think it will always be.

We taught Olivia how to throw rocks into the water. She loved it.

Of course! I always come prepared! Here is a quick peek at my shoes! My toes deserve a pedi but the shoes were cute anyways!

There really is no point to these photos. Just some eye candy for me! I love my husbands forearms. I could watch him do anything with his hands for hours. Yea.. he's still got it.

I'm gonna go finish off my pot of coffee and nuzzle my sweet girl.

♥ xo!

trying

we are trying.

what does that even mean? It means we are falling back in love with each other? Should that even be in the vocabulary of marriage? Maybe not. But for us, it is. We've both made mistakes. Maybe me more than him. But none that less, we are getting back to where we use to be.

Those butterflies and smile are back. I've never been happier. It's weird. You know that quote? You dont know what you've got til it's gone? That's such a true and honest statement. I almost lost him. He almost lost me. And we yearned to be back where we started. Back to the days of holding hands and making out in the cereal aisle at Fred Meyers. To the day of excitement and passion. We're back.

Maybe we aren't 100% percent, but I think where we are headed looks good to me. That comfy spot in the nape of his neck is mine again. That look, he is giving it to me. I'm in love with my husband. He will be my baby forever. And all because we are trying..
