arkansas or bust

Sunday we leave for Arkansas to see the fam for a whole week! We are totally stoked since we haven't seen them since our wedding. We love you, Patty's -- see you soon!

one last touch

freshening up the place one little step at a time. here's the new door decor i made.

not-so-extreme makeover

We have decided to stay in this apartment for another school year -- so something needed to be done to spice it up a little bit! The house has great architectural style, but someone drown it out by painting everything white! Seeking to give the house it's full potential, I begged the landlords to let us paint! Since it isn't our own, the neutral 'tan' was decided upon. We just started with the living room/family room/office/dining room (which is all one room...you'll see!) Here's some photos before and after.

Aren't the 'sixties style' baseboards and trim around the windows cute? You couldn't even see them before. It adds so much warmth to our little place, and makes it feel a little more like a home. We love it! (and it doesn't look so yellow in person!) I want to do it in the small bedroom too, but the bed would have to be taken apart to reach the walls -- since it fits in so snug! We'll see.

not welcome

Dear Box Elder Bugs:

You are officially UNwelcome in our home. We have already killed many of your brothers and sisters, and are not afraid to do it again. For your sake, stay out of our house completely. You belong in a better, more natural environment -- outside! There is nothing you need within our walls. We write this as a warning and a plea.

Thank you.

jaci and zach

ready, set, camp!

Zach spent all his birthday money on camping stuff! We got new backpacking packs and a tent! We are ready to go! On his day off, Zach decided to check out the fishing spots up here in Cache Valley.

zach is 24!

My guy turned 24 today! Happy Birthday, to you!

bored

I am really bored with my background template. I really love it, but everyone changes theirs to be cute and different all the time. My fear, however, is that everything will get messed up. Any tips or helps? Is my template boring, or should I just leave it?
