Exciting

Summer is just not coming fast enough... and yet it's coming way too fast! To off set yesterdays bad day post I decided to make a list of things David and I are both excited for this summer. And just and FYI today is going MUCH better than yesterday, mainly because there is almost no way it couldn't.

1. IDAHO!! And not just Idaho, Idaho in the summer time. My favorite season in Idaho. Everyone always complains about Idaho so much but I really love it. It is one of the best places to live.
2. iPhone :) Not that the brand matters any new phone would make me  happy at this point because mine is going on 2 and half years of life. Yes. I really did keep a phone working for that long.
3. Hitting up some new states when we drive out.
4.  A certain special trip :) I will openly blog about it after ;) it will be good trust me
5. Getting married in the temple.
6. Going to Cali to see Shrek the musical!
7. Hanging out with some friends!
8. Warm weather in ANY form
9. Melina's and some other good Mexican food, FINALLY! Haha there is no such thing here in Toledo :(
10. Having a non- hair job. After this last year I'm burnt out.

Here are some pictures from last Saturday's date night. Remember my confessions post about being addicted to Taco Bell? Well I have a new love now it's called Chipotle, it is just so fresh and tasty! Everyone has to have a couple addictions, at least Chipotle is more than one step up from Taco Bell. Saturday afternoon was perfect take a walk with a light jacket on kind of weather, so that's what we did.

We live really close to a metro park and we went throught the neighborhood in hopes of checking it out and we ran into a fence.

This is me showing off the fence, I was pretty bummed but I'm sure we will make it to that park some day soon.

Two rather nasty pictures of myself but hey I'm just being real, no one can wear makeup and look cute all the time, right??

I love this guy right here :) just looking at this picture makes me want to hug him.

Oh and I just rememebered one more thing to be excited for...

11. Idaho Falls distribution Center! Hurray for new underwear!!! (and yes I know you can order them online, but it's just not the same)

Kari and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Some days are good and other days... you wake up, have cake for breakfast, which you know is a BAD choice but you do it anyway, go on to suffer from a horrible tummy ache and nausea for the rest of the day, have to go to work anyways because you are one of only three people that work there, have absolutely no walk-ins while at work until a little over an hour before you close, you go over on that appointment and they don't tip you, which makes you late closing the salon, you get home and think finally a good thing because you get a $60 refund check in the mail from BYU-I, only to realize that you also got a traffic violation for twice that amount, your first ticket in five years I might add, and all because you didn't stop before turning right on a red light..... Tomorrow better turn out better or I'll just go back to bed.

April General Conference 2011

This general conference I only missed one session because of work, I was so excited! It seemed like all the sessions were extra good this year. I found myself all teary eyed  so many times I can't count, but I loved it. Our internet/ the internet feed was really spotty so for the second session we went to our church, which ended up being much better haha and getting to watch the talks without gaps made them a lot easier to understand :)

Getting ready to into the building and watch the second session.

Did I mention that other than the missionaries we were basically the only people in there? It was great and gettting a seat was a piece of cake!

 

Third times a charm, love you David!

We decided that our new tradition is to go to PF Changs for every conference. It was such a tasty treat especially becuase it's been 6 months since the last time we got to go. I think the biggest down side was the hour and some change wait! Uhhg I have never waited that long to go eat any where! Next conference we will be going BEFORE the second session on Saturday.... or we could just call in a reservation like EVERYONE else who was before us. Minus being a little starved the day was great and so was the food.

Forgive me these pictures are awful. We were supposed to get our waiter to take one of the two of us but it just didn't happen that way.

David!

Obvisouly you can see where my mind was.... yummy!

Doesn't everyone just love conference??? No need to answer, I already know you do!

More Dancing Sheep

Our dancing sheep nights have begun to grow. About two weeks ago Dannielle and I got to go with David and Tyler to their home teaching family and we got to play a 6 player game of settlers! I can't say it was super fun, at least for me, it was one of those games where I could do basically nothing because I didn't have enough supplies. For those of you who don't know what that means it's the equivalent to having no money in Monopoly. Anyways it was still a good night and it was good to meet our hubby's home teaching family.

Then this last Friday we all got together at our with our friends Lindsay and Branden. I had to leave in the middle to do my visiting teaching, and I might add I did mine for the month yay!! I should just say that we all had lots of fun and it was great to hang out with everyone all together.

Lindsay and I

Everybody. There's nothing like a game of settler's with two med students and a lawyer. Haha, it is so funny to hear Tyler try to strike up "contracts" with everyone. And kudos to my David for winning his first game of settler's. Even with a TOTAL embargo on all his goods and other players literally giving each other things to help keep him from winning he still dominated, you go boy.

Say cheese!!

The ladies

and the gentlemen

Haha, oh these three are so funny.

If you haven't ever played settler's I would say it is a must, we all obviously love it. Not only that but it has furthered my pre-exsisting opinion that board/ card games are great ways to have fun with people and not ever turn on a TV. It is so awesome to see how competitive people are and you can still talk with them, which is NOT something you can do while watching a movie. Last but not least I can't begin to say how thankful and lucky David and I are for being able to find such great friends, it has made our life here in Ohio so much more rewarding.

Fake "O" Natural

As you all know I have decided to grow my hair out to it's natural color. Recently I have decide that I am no longer going to even to dye my hair with a demi permanent anymore. At first I was having a pretty difficult time with the new color change because I LOVE my blonde hair :( even if it isn't natural. The last week or so I have decided that I think I will be able to live with the natural color... for a while. So without anymore further chit chat,  my new "fake natural" color.

I actually really like this one

I think that is about as close as I am going to get to my natural with a bottle of dye, now for the waiting

Feel free to compliment me and tell me it looks good, haha I need all the convincing I can get!!
