Love is... changes

So many things have changed! Some good, some exciting, and some sad.

1. We have a new nephew. His name is Lucas Gary Morrow and he is a stud. I was actually present at his birth which makes him #1 in the running to be my favorite nephew.

2. Not only did this sweet couple get married 2 years ago but... BUT (you CANNOT even imagine the next chapter in their lives) they are going to PERU! To build the LDS temple there. HOLLA! They rock my socks off.

3. We bought a home. A town home but still... a home. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. 2 car garage. Enough cabinet space for all my dishes. Its thrilling. I have never enjoyed looking at paint and flooring choices more in my life. Aren't I lucky that my husband can provide such a life for me?

It's still in the works but here are some pictures. We move in on the 25th of June so feel free to roll up your sleeves and come do some manual labor.

4. This is the sad one. Tylers good friend from high school named Brynn Barton passed away last Tuesday. She was involved in a hit and run while riding her bike. She was such an awesome person!! She always came and supported everyone in everything. She was so funny and her and Malorie were the first female friends of Ty's to really welcome me into their group. We both miss her.

Love is... addicted

Don't worry guys, I am still addicted to Target and Listverse, but! as the every expanding internet broadens its horizons, I must do the same. Ready for some new addictions? Probably not, because you will probably become addicted too....

Whole Foods

Lavender infused honey? Orange blossom cheese? Vegan hummus with oregano pita chips? Vegan peanut butter cookies? Fruit you'd sell your soul for? Where has this been all my life? I spent too much this week (on ALL vegan purchases) at Whole Foods. You should go. It will change your life. And your stomach.

Pinterest

What is this you ask? The best answer is to go here but if you don't have the time, let me explain. It is a place that has massive amounts of beautiful pictures that will "interest" you and therefore you can "pin" them to your board. You can have a board for anything that interests you. This is great because I love lots of things and I am always saving pictures to the laptop. This saves the laptop space, me organizing time, and Tyler an aneurism from looking at all my girly things.

The O.C.

Yes, I am a 22, almost 23, almost mother that is slowly becoming addicted to the OC. It started out innocently enough... I like the music they use in their soundtracks okay? Then I started watching youtube clips and before you know it I have added the first season to our Netflicks que. Needless to say Tyler is going to be thrilled. There's something about teenage angst to good music that captures the soul.

Love is... mothers day

This is what I got for Mothers Day...

This is what Tyler got for Mothers Day... (it's a white hair)

I know I said I was going to blog about our house (townhouse). I lied. I am waiting to take some pictures, you know, when everything becomes officially official.

Love is... royally obsessed

Bet you haven't seen a post about the royal wedding yet!... NOT! But seriously guys, I loved so many things and then I didn't really like some other things. So, since I am Canadian and since Canada was once Britain and our money has the Queens face one it, here is a tribute to the Royal wedding and all of its surprises... even the not so good ones.

The dress... the train... how PERFECT!

The makeup... not so thrilled. For a do it yourself job you will be in front of millions I think she did great... but the eye liner is a little gothic for me.

Pleased audience... not so pleased flower girl.

Cute, appropriate hat Joss Stone

Not appropriate and embarrassing Eugenie and Beatrice... and the names Eugenie and Beatrice

Beautiful sister in a gorgeous gown

Ex girlfriend of Prince Harry... not the cutest.

Perfect couple aside from the bride and groom

Not so perfect, definitely conniving "I look like a horse" step mother and father. I hate them both.

Out of the whole thing, this is my favorite picture. They are totally sharing a face with each other. Tyler and I shared a face... they are sharing a face. I LOVE IT!

Thanks for humoring me you guys. I feel a lot better now that I have my royal wedding picture critique off my chest. You should also know that I stole 100% of these pictures from people.com... hopefully I don't get into legal trouble over that.

Stay tuned... next week I'll probably write about OUR FIRST HOUSE!!!!!!!!

Love is... Dear Tyler

Dear Tyler,

Please do not forget

that even though I joke

I love you

more than Dave Matthews

Please do not think

that Jimmer Fredette is cooler than you

And I hope you haven't assumed

that my likeness for either of these two people

surpasses my love-ness for you

That being said, I feel as though my desire to name our child David Matthew Jimmer Morrow should not be ignored. Please take a quiet moment in your day to think about the AMAZING TALENT our child would only be destined to achieve with namesakes like that.

I am willing to compromise with David Matthew Morrow.

Our second child can be named Nebakanezer if you still desire at that point in time.

Sincerely,

your wife

Love is... total eclipse of the heart

Hypothetically, let's say I know someone... And let us say that this someone has a friend/buddy/employee that he likes to joke around with and have fun with and possibly sing duets in the car with. What song would they sing together?

Love is... a dream is a wish your heart makes

HI! I am excited to be back to the blogging world. I took a hiatus because... well... I was waiting for Kalie DeMann to post her Disneyland pictures so I could turn around and steal them, claim them as my own, and look like a blogger who takes pictures to document her life. I feel like that was a good plan because Kalie took some good pictures. So, without further ado, let me introduce to you...

Top Ten Best Things About Disneyland 2011*

* note the date, because we will be returning for a Disneyland 20...

10. Laguna Beach

Sorry, this one isnt exactly Disneyland but it is SoCal and I did love it because I am obsessed with Laguna Beach and the old MTV series Laguna Beach.

9. The Blue Bayou

Um Hello, not only are you sitting in the midst of everyones favorite ride (Pirates) but the food is also DELIGHT-FULL. Delight because its delicious, full because you come out 20lbs heavier from eating your weight in crab cakes and drinking the salad dressing that may or may not have a touch of brandy in it... don't worry kids, they boil the alcohol out of it.

8. Seeing club 33

Is this lame? For some reason I was so excited when Kalie DeMann showed me the door to club 33 and informed me that all I would have to do to get to the elevator is knock and say Mickey Mouse. SOOO close... yet so far.

7. The Castle. Everyone loves the main street walk up to the Castle. Thats when you really feel the magic.

6. The White Chocolate hot chocolate

Um why can't someone in Utah make this? Maybe they do and I am just behind the times.

5. The Orange Peel

Oh my heart and SOUL the Orange Peel in St. George. I would cut off an arm to have an Orange Peel here. Its bubble tea's and fruit smoothies that change your life with the first sip.

4. The Toy Story ride

This was by far Tylers favorite ride. I think we went on this ride three times.

3. Cinderella!

The last picture is actually me. I actually turned into a little girl again when I met Cinderella. Side note - Cari when you asked me to pretend to be Cinderella to potty train Sophie... probably a top ten best moment of my life.

2. Spending a day Disney style with friends

I love these two people. They are the best and Kalie is the best Disneyland guide. We will be going back.

1. Spending a few days Disney style with each other

Tyler and I needed a break from life. This was the perfect one.

Some low lights but still lights....

Falling in front of everyone at California Adventures and having your husband be so embarrassed by you he takes a step back and says "WHOA!!" instead of helping you up. And then you get a bruise. That is still on your knee.

The rain

No. Kalie and Spencer are not extremely sweaty due to massive amounts of speed walking through both parks...

It rained. And then rained some more. And then it kept raining just in case the people of California didn't have enough drinking water.

Driving in the car for so long that you loose your mind. Even though this drive is probably 2-3 hours shorter than driving to Lethbridge (Canada) it seemed like it was at least 6 hours longer. We started to get stir crazy and during the last hour, kind of hysterical... So, of course the only thing to do at that point is make the same obnoxious noise for 45 minutes... right Ty?

Stay tuned. Next I will be stealing Emma's pics and talking about the AMAZING conference brunch that she made for us.
