Our Disneyland "Spring Break"

Well I finally have gotten around to importing these pictures from our "Spring Break." Justin and I made up our own spring break because BYU-I doesn't have one. We went to Disneyland from Wednesday to Saturday with my family. Justin and I love Disneyland, it may be one of our most favorite places on earth. We were so glad to be there!

Just before the teacups... we were nervous...

Oh... I love my sister so much.... she loves me too... I promise;)

Justin and his best buddy, he and Gracie love each other so much!

We love toon town.... although I'm not sure if this picture is supposed to make him look strong or weak...... hmm...

I think we were going for a missionary type picture? Maybe? (But it was in Mickey Mouse's house)

So excited to go on Space mountain!!! (waiting in a 50 minute line....)

Were in the back... yay splash mountain!

Goofy and Justin.... I'm sure there are many jokes I could make here..... but I will refrain:)

My Comm 130 homework

Looks real doesn't it?:)

I have a new passion....

and it's called Adobe CS3 (and probably CS4 that just came out, I haven't used it yet.) Right now I only have photoshop elements on my computer, and this is what I have come up with. I found out how EASY it is to make wedding/graduation/baby announcements that would otherwise cost big bucks.... who knew?!

So right now I am spending way too much time on the computer at home and at school and I am loving every minute of it. It also helps that I have such beautiful pictures to work with... yay for having a gorgeous sister:) Here's the spoils:)





And last but not least, not only am I loving photoshop... I am loving a program called illustrator.... here is a cute little thing I designed (which still needs a little work, I know!) if I ever actually start a wedding planning business. designed by jackie- your day. your way. catchy huh? Hooray for dreams....:)

Soon I'm going to start a fund called "help the poor students by Adobe programs" if anyone feels like donating I'd be happy to accept it;)

Saturday's Spring Cleaning

Saturday, Justin and I took on the huge task of cleaning our guest/storage room. We needed to get all of our boxes cleaned out and everything ready for the packing process.... it looked like a big task but only ended up taking us two hours, including a trip to DI. It was a successful Saturday:)

Before

After (all of those boxes are ready to move! Hooray!)

I had no idea before we got married......

I love the things that you learn about your husband after you get married. Tonight at the grocery store, he picked up some beef hot dogs and proceeded to tell me that he learned how to fry them on his mission... yeah... YUCK! So when we got home he showed me his wonderful cooking abilities, and I about died when he pulled my Italian olive oil out of the cupboard. (yes, I made him put it back and use canola oil;)) Here are a few quotes and pictures of the evening.

"See? Its just like frying bacon." "I think I may have put too much ketchup and mustard on and distorted the fried beef flavor." "I have enough of these to enjoy one a day for a whole WEEK! Unless.... I decide to eat six in one day." "Something's different, I think I need to burn them a little bit more on the bottom."

OH the excitement!

Yes, fried hot dogs... (but they have to be BEEF)

And look how much he enjoys it:)

Justin's boo-boo

No, he's not going to like that I'm calling it a boo-boo, but he doesn't blog, so I get to call his owies whatever I want:) This is the result of him slipping on the black ice of our very poorly shoveled apartment sidewalks and parking lot. This is two days later after it has healed a little bit.... sad huh?

And this is my very sad husband.... he has to keep band-aids on the most of the time.

21st Birthday!

Well, I had a wonderful birthday weekend:) Justin took me out for dinner at Olive Garden, we went to a movie and then out for ice cream on Saturday night. Sunday on my actual birthday we went over to the Skinners' house and had ice cream cake:)

All of the candles lit!

Me and the Hubster with the cake


I got all 21 of them:)

My party people:) Hooray for new cousins who I love so very much!

The hubby and I playing with my new birthday camera! I love it! It has been so fun to play with!
