Our Cute Girl

Paige used to be afraid of these oven mitts whenever I pulled them out. Now she loves to wear them around.

Don't worry- I ate like 75% of this ice cream bar.

Watch out for the giant fork. Yikes!

Neutral Nursery Themes

My friend, Brooke is looking for a nursery theme that works for a boy and a girl. So I did some searching and found pretty cute ideas!

This is from Target. I love the hanging lanterns and the dots on the wall.


This is Pottery Barn. Love it. Its so peaceful. That crib is pretty amazing. Just take out a small loan and refinance your house and you've got it!

This is also Pottery Barn. Its Dr. Suess. I think its kinda fun.

This is from Target. I like the soft colors.

These last 2 are both from Babies 'R Us.


Now if I could just have a baby...

Last minute travel?

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a flight at the last minute, and not pay a million bucks? Is there even such a thing as last minute deals on flights? I want to fly to Las Vegas on Monday or Tuesday, but its like $400. Crap!

We're back in the game!

...the game of employment. Is that a game? Nate got his job back with Pfizer! So it looks like we won't have to move, and everything is great. Yay! If you're suffering from high blood pressure, nicotine addiction, or sexual dysfunction... Nate is your friendly, neighborhood drug-dealer.

Paige Lately

This is Paige and her friend, Emily. Paige says, "Em-ee, Em-ee" all day long.

Another update

Nate's interview went well and he has a second interview on Wednesday! Yay! I will keep you updated.

This is an old pic, but I think its cute.

Job Update

Today is kind of a big day for us. Nate has an interview for a position here in Spokane with his old boss. This doesn't make much sense, but Pfizer laid off a bunch of people, reorganized the district, and are now hiring again for a few positions. Anyway, Nate thinks he has a good shot, but there is just no way of knowing what will happen.

So... if he doesn't get this position here in Spokane, we will start applying in Seattle and Tacoma. If that doesn't work out after a few weeks, then we will start looking elsewhere.

We would love to live in the Seattle area, but it is SO MUCH more expensive than Spokane and the traffic is pretty bad. But we both love the scenery there, and there is a lot to do, and its just home to us.

Gig Harbor, Washington (where I grew up)

Kirkland, Washington (where Nate grew up)

But we also love it here. Plus, we just moved into our home, which we love. And we have a great ward, and a great neighborhood, and Nate has family close by.

So we would be happy with either option. I will let you know what happens. This is a crazy time for us. Everything is up in the air. Luckily, Nate is still getting paid. If it wasn't for that, I might be freaking out.

For a little girl's room...

I like the tree on the wall.

Aren't these cute ideas? I want to make the hanging bouquets. It looks pretty easy, but I'm not sure where I would find little flowers that cute. These are all from Pottery Barn.

Check this out

I've just discovered this artist named Kate Birch. She's from Salt Lake City. I saw one of her paintings at World Market, and now I want to buy all of her stuff.

Have I mentioned...

that I LOVE green? I want some huge plants now because of this photo. I love this room.

Barf

I'm just gonna say that Jason is so fake, and so cheesy. And SO BORING!!! As I said before.

This should help

I bought this at Target today. I'm hoping it will change my life. Shopping with Paige is traumatic for me every single time. I dread it.

When I pulled the monkey out of the box, Paige started giving it kisses and saying, "Muh-kee! Muh-kee!"

Little does she know, this innocent little monkey is actually a restraining device. :)

P.S. I have been warned that I can expect stares and rude comments from strangers because of the whole "leash" thing. Well... I'm not gonna stand for it. I'm going to respond to every rude comment or glare I see, and it may not be pleasant.
