Our bedroom, ps. Kyle made our head board, curtains, amazing I know.
Well as the snow has started to fall Kyle & I have tried to become in the spirit with our house- Our house isn't exactly "us" but now that the Christmas season has started to come it's beginning to feel like "our" home... I absolutely love our tree wall of vinyl that Kyle made for us a couple months ago which was originally was a stolen idea from my cousin Celine. (oops)  Anyways these are pictures of most of the rooms in our house. 
On to other topics things here are great, as usual- still madly in love, and hating my job... so that's neither of those are new news. hahaha I'm now going to take a moment to list things i miss. 
I've been missing my family a lot lately, it's been a different experience joining another family, with new traditions, and trying to build our own. I love it, but i still miss my family. I miss the family sunday dinners that would always end in a wrestling match, water fight, or games. I miss being able to see my nieces & nephews grow up, so to there events and hanging out with them. I miss hanging out with my cousins; today at church they were talking about your children having sleep overs & some people where very against it even with family members, which i just thought was so sad... some of my best memories were sleep overs with my cousins. They were my first friends ever, and i know all of them will always be there for me. I miss my friends in Utah, the late night hangs, the rock climbing, the random events always happening, and their amazing friendships. I miss the garage opener - why, why have i been cursed without one? I miss cafe` rio more & more each day. I miss my Ma Mere always talking about how she had a boyfriend dying doing who knows what. I miss my sister Caryn always being so sweet & loving to everyone around here.  miss my brother Ryan's humor on Christmas day. I miss my sister Tara, i miss being able to be there for her when she needs me. I miss making fun of people with my sister Emily. I miss finding new places to eat with my brother Tyler. Around this time of the year i miss my dad the most, I miss making cookies and dancing around the kitchen singing oldies into wooden spoons, i miss the way he would be such a digger when he would tickle me & i would laugh because of it actually hurting. I miss having a ward where i didn't feel like they were pressuring me to have children (my singles ward, ahahaha) I miss my brother in law Jared's accent and making fun on him for it.  I miss skiing. I'm sure my list could go on for days, but i'm thankful that i know i can one day have most of these things back into my life. I'm grateful for the BEST husband in the world, someone to come home to after work, & just spend our nights cuddling and watching movies(literally almost every night, hahaha) who makes me delicious dinner every night, and continues to make me the happiest girl in the world. <3

  3. Awww, totally got me going to! I know how it feels to be away from family girl! It's rough. Without a doubt every time I left canada or they left where I was for a vacation I balled my eyes out. It never gets easier. The GOOD news is that where you're living right now... your entire family thinks as that as their real home so they will be there often. Hang in there britters. I'll come visit you next time we're in town. Miss you tons!

  4. I miss you too. And yes, I too shed tears. I miss you a lot. But a word of caution; Mom once had a boyfriend who had a blog and he suffered from severe finger cramps and his eyes were burning from staring at the screen which caused a malfunction in his brain and then he died...
