Office Space















A Little More Feminine and Cooler Tones














More of a Monochromatic Look















Or....Spunky, Warmer Tones


After only having 1 bedroom most of our marriage, we now have a second bedroom that I plan on turning into an office/art studio. Landon plans on using it as a study room but we'll see how long that lasts. I think he'll be too distracted at home, but who knows :). We already purchased the grey desk, white chair, and filing cabinet seen in the design plan (I found out yesterday that the desk is on back order and won't ship until Sept. 30! :S) and hopefully over the next few months we'll be able to get the green desk, Louis ghost chair, drapes, and rug. A little at a time of course. I'm still debating on the rug though! Which of these options do you like the best?

    I like the first rug.... The "cooler tones" one, because the colors are great, and with how many different colors there are it would be easy to change the style of the room with different colored pictures, pillows from season to season... Just a thought... I know I like to mix up my rooms every now and then

    truthfully...I hate them all. But who am I to say, I didn't go to school for interior design. If I had to absolutely pick...I'd go with the warmer tones. Its more colorful and brings some life to the grey desk and drapes.

20 Weeks

I will be 20 weeks with baby #2 in just a couple of days. Baby boy #2 that is! Half way! I'm finally getting around to taking a picture of myself and writing down a little bit about this pregnancy.  It's definitely been different this time around both emotionally and physically.  Of course I have another child to attend to so I can't nap whenever I want, I felt more sick this time around and it lasted longer, and worst of all for me is the teenage acne I've developed.  I don't intend for this to be a sob story, but I've never been the girl that everyone says "You're so pretty" to and I've never been the skinny girl. But I have always had really great skin. To be honest, most of my confidence in my outward appearance is because I have my mom's skinny legs and I have clear skin and a natural tan. Well these days I literally cringe when I look in the mirror. I've NEVER had acne. I've always had the occasional breakout tha...

Another Week, Another Hike

My aunt, mom, and I headed up Holbrook Canyon last Saturday to take in more of Fall's goodness. This canyon is just above the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The last time I hiked it was ages ago, so I forgot about how long of a hike it is. I looked up the mileage online which said 8 miles up and back. Well I don't know if that's accurate or what because after we had gone what I swear was 4-5 miles, we still weren't to the top and had to turn around so we could make it back before dark. A lot of the trail is uphill and it's not a really easy hike, so maybe we were just making slower time and didn't go as far as I thought, but maybe next time we'll actually make it to the top. Even though we didn't make it, it was still worth the beautiful scenery. As we got toward the bottom as the sun was practically gone, the canyon was glowing from all the brilliant colored leaves. It was seriously magical, as cheesy as that sounds. It's a shaded hike, almos...
