happy christmas world
We decided to open our stocking on christmas eve, because I was excited to give my little stocking stuffer gifts to Jeff and I couldn't wait another day. lol
A cute little old lady made these stockings for us as wedding gifts, and they are beautiful!!
Every year for as long as I can remember my parents always let us open one gift on christmas eve night, and it was always sleepers. So Jeff and I have decied to carry on the traditon to our family!
My favorite colors!

thanksgiving weekend.
That night Jeff and I (and when I say Jeff and I, I mean I) decided it would be fun to go do some black friday shopping. I had never really been before, at least not that I ever remember so I was really excited. We drove up to Jordan landing and I waited out side old navy for an hour in the FREEZING cold, while Jeff went to the gas station to get me some hot cocoa and then to walmart to buy me a cheap blanket because I forgot mine and was dying!!! After he brought me my stuff he headed over to wait in line at Aeropostal.
There was at least 500 other people waiting in line with me at Old Navy! It was CRAZY!!! I was only there to buy Jeff and I some p.j. pants for christmas eve.
(growing up we always got to open one gift on christmas eve before we went to bed.. and it was always p.j.'s. I loved this and so Jeff and I decided to carry on the trdition)
The pants went like crazy! I couldn't even believe how many people were smashed in that store!! After I found the pants I wanted I ended up waiting in line for at least a good hour!! While in line I made some friends, a cute couple from logan. They kept me company until the store people let Jeff into the store. (they had reached the max. amount of how many people they could have in the store at once!)
After that long wait we headed over to walmart but it was so crazy we decided it was not worth the one 4 dollar game we wanted. So at three in the morning we decided to grab some food. We went to Ranchero's my favorite place to eat in salt lake!! After that we headed over to staples but they didn't open until 6 so we spent some time walking around the south town mall and found some really good deals!
Then at 5 we headed over to staples and I ended up standing in line again (alone) while Jeff when over to bed, bath and beyond to buy something for our t.v. but it turns out they didn't have it. When staples opened Jeff got really into the whole black friday shopping and when running through the store to find what we needed. It was a reallly funny thing to see.
After that we were both extremly tired and so we decided to head home and call it good. we got home around 7:30 and both passed out. All I can say is that I had a BLAST with my hubby and am SO glad that all our christmas shopping is done for this year!!
The next day we got to go up to provo and hang out with my little sister noel :) we got pizza for lunch and then went to the mall together. it's always fun to see her, i'm so glad she's in utah again!!
On sunday Jeff and I headed back to good old Cedar city, the weather was CRAZY BAD!! It took us about 5 and 1/2 hours. most of our extra time was spend just sitting in some really bad traffic. But while we were sitting there I got to take a picture of me standing in the middle of i-15!! How many people actally have a picture like that???
These pictures don't even show you how Bad it actaully was!!
There was five cars that had slid of in the same area!!

pound the pavement.
She has some really good friends that live next to her.
They have been trying to have kids for a while now, but just found out that without getting a Vitro Fertilization they have a slim to zero chance of ever having there own baby.
This is a wonderful chance for them, but it comes at a high cost of 12,000 Dollars.
Along with Sarah I am very excited to announce for this family that there will be a 5K run/walk, Pound The Pavement For Parenthood, it will be held November 13th, to help raise money for this wonderful family!!!
Pre registering will end Saturday, November 10th and is only 15 Dollars.
Same day registering will only be 20 Dollars.
The run/walk will end in saratoga springs and there will be a live band, raffle for gifts, service from local vendors, and a wonderful homemade bake sale!
So put on your walkin' shoes and pound the pavement to help out this family, because you know they would do the same for you!!!

i love brown.
Elissa and I became friends one night when our hubbies were playing some halo and we started talking about quilting :) ever since that night we are always doing one craft or another! and this is one of our crafts that we made last week to help fallalize our homes :) enjoy!
I went for more of a fall look so I can leave mine up longer.
But Elissa went for Halloween, which I totally love!!

redo.
It was a beautiful solid black table, but it had been used as a outside/backyard table for the past few years so it had some pretty bad sun/water/everything weather damage to it.
I loved it black and had planned on just sanding off the old pealing paint and then repainting it black again but as I was searching for websites on how to redo tables I came across this super cute blog!! (<--- click there to go check out the super cute blog!)
While I was reading pretty much every post she had written I came across this table she had redone and I fell IN LOVE with it!!! Seriously.
Well trying to be adventerous, I decided to take a chance and try to paint my table just like the table I saw on this blog!!
I started out with buying all the supplies I needed, ended up spending about 27 dollars on the paint for the chairs, and 31 dollars for the paint for the table. But some of the stuff I bought can be used again for my future products.
