Nala Baby
Because we love our baby soo much I decided to make a slide show dedicated just to her. Be sure to watch to the end...the last pic is the best one!
Purses!
This post is just to show off my mom's purses. For those of you who don't know, my mom makes purses. If you are interested in any of them or would like one custom made let me know. Also, you can check out her website floresdesignstudios.com (it's still in the beginning stages). Enjoy!
(p.s. Thanks a TON, Allyson!!)

Our House
Allyson has requested that I put up some pictures of our house, I thought it wasn't a bad idea so here you go...
Our Fire Place, in the front room. It won't look like that for too much longer, hopefully. We are planning on covering it with sheet rock, the brick isn't as nice as it looks.
The Front Door and one of my favorite things about the house, a bay window. I've always loved them and now I have one! Just a side note, when we first moved in we made this room "The Lighthouse Room" because it went with the ocean theme and my mom and Mandy made some cute pillows with lighthouse's on them. I loved it at first...now i'm thinking the whicker furniture idea wasn't a great one and after we do the fire place it won't be the lighthouse room anymore.
The Dining Room, which contains my favorite piece of furniture...
The Table, this is my favorite piece of furniture not only because it is beautiful but because it only cost $25. It used to look awful and have a leg broken off, we picked it up at Savers and Jakes dad was so nice to take the time to fix it up for us. He did an amazing job and later we got the chairs as a gift from Jake's parents.
Half of the kitchen....
Other half of the kitchen...yes, we need a new stove...ok, Jake needs a new stove.
Dolphin Haven...AKA the Living Room. This room was hard to photograph so there are lots of pics of this room.
The cumfy couch, we sold Jake's old sectional because this fit the room more and it's so cumfy. P.S. the painting is an Alyssa Original.
Jake's Shelves. Jake designed and built these really cool shelves. I love them.
Jake's Table. Jake took a plain old, falling apart end table and turned it into this. I love it. The box in the top has sand and sea shells and lights up. So cool!
The Master Bedroom. Pretty self explanitory.
Well, that's it. I didn't take any pics of the laundry room or either of the bathrooms but I will eventually. The batteries in my camera died. Hopefully soon I'll have the "after" pics of the front room, living room, and kitchen. We're planning on re-doing all of them.

Cry For Help!!!
This is a cry for help! I thought I was pretty smart when it comes to computers and stuff but for some reason I can't make it work! A lot of you have things on your bloggs that show pictures in a slide show. I thought I knew how to do this but for some reason it won't work. Maybe I picked the wrong program. Please Help! Thanks.
Six Random Things About Me
So, I guess I'm really bad at reading other people's bloggs on a regular basis (oops) and Emily Mason tagged me to say six random things about me. Here goes:
1) I love the show House but I can only watch half of it.
And I don't mean I watch 15 min and then turn it off, I mean half of it is really good and the other half is all blood and guts and needles which make me queasy. I have to watch it with Jake so he can tell me when to open my eyes after all the blood and gore. And the other weird thing is that the show is sooo predictable. We can't look at the clock anymore when watching it or we know exactly what will happen. I don't usually like predictable shows cuz it's like what's the point? and yet, I'm obsessed. Crazy I know.
2)I'm mad at the Library.
Some of you have already heard this story and for those of you that haven't here it is: I checked out a book from the library (duh) and I loved it. It was one of those books where you feel every emotion, happy, sad, scared, ect. After I finished it I realized that it was a series of 4 books. So I went back and got the next two. Read them, loved them. Went back for the last book and....it was no where to be found. No, it wasn't checked out. No, it wasn't in the wrong place. No, it was damaged or lost or anything else. THE LIBRARY DOESN'T EVEN OWN A COPY!!! What I would like to know is how the person who orders the books thinks its ok to order 3 books out of a series of 4???? I talked to one of the librarians who had me fill out a request paper. 6 months (give or take) later still no book, and i've asked about it every time i've gone in. I'm guessing you might have read the Twilight series? (I haven't but eventually I will) How would you feel if no one had a copy of the last book? wouldn't it just drive you NUTS!! Well, that's how I feel.
3) My new obsession is books by Madeleine L'Engle.
I never read any of her books in school and never planned on reading them. Then Jennifer convinced me to check out "A Ring of Endless Light" and I reluctantly started reading it...and found out it was amazing! Then I read "The Small Rain" also pretty good. So I went back to library and checked out 5 more books by her. She is an amazing author and makes me want to be a writer. I wrote down a list of all her books and I am checking them off as I go...I have a lot more to read but I plan on reading them all. If you haven't read anything by her you should. Good books.
4) I'm a little OCD.
I know most of you already know this but i'm running out of random facts about me. The biggest thing effected by my OCD is my closet. ALL the hangers HAVE to be white. Not metal, wood, colored, WHITE! And all of my clothes are organized by color. Its fun to watch Jake do laundry and have to figure out what goes where in my closet, he's getting a lot better at it though. And no, I don't make his closet be in color order.....it would drive me crazy because I know he wouldn't keep it that way. I'm OCD with a lot of other things too but that is the biggest one. The weirdest is probably....the spice rack. All spices are in ABC order.
5) I love music.
Ok, not very random but I've found that for some reason people are shocked by the kind of music I listen to. (not that its like really bad music) I guess they just don't know me very well and don't think it fits my personality. Crazy but I've actually been told that a lot. I like to rock out and concerts...rock, alternative, some techno, a little hip hop, NO country!!! And the louder the better!! I think if music were a form of drug I would be addicted. I do everything while listening to music (yeah, it's on right now) I even read while listening to music.
6) Dream job.
I have a dream jobs that I doubt I will ever do. I want to be a wedding planner. I love to plan and I love weddings. I help my mom run her wedding flower business. I would have to move to another state to actually be a wedding planner because Utah is so "self-reliant" that they don't' need a wedding planner, or they just couldn't afford one. And there aren't really any wedding planning classes I can take here or a wedding planning business I could work for, unless I went to SLC maybe. However, I do know a lot about weddings and have a lot of wedding planning stuff so if you know someone getting married that needs help I am totally willing to help, for free.

Happy Halloween!
This wasn't our first Halloween together but it sure seemed like it because last year neither of us had the night off. This year we went all out. I decorated the porch and we both had fun dressing up. I was a purple spider witch and Jake was a scary skeleton guy. He wished we would have had more trick or treaters to scare but I guess we don't have very many kids in our neighborhood. It was still a lot of fun, I hope we continue to have halloween night off every year. Now that we know how much fun it is, it would be really sad to miss it.
