24 before 24

24 things I want to do before I turn 24.... 
(I meant to start this in August, just after my birthday, but it's a few months late.  Oh well, better late than never, right?)

  1. Organize and clean our 2nd bedroom... aka the "storage" room
  2. Learn to sew  (i know this is a life-long pursuit, but I now have a sewing machine and have successful made some cute stuff!)
  3. Make new curtains
  4. Read one book a month (that's a little ambitious with school, but I can do it!)
  5. Learn to cook a roast
  6. Exercise 3 days a week
  7. Read the Book of Mormon again
  8. Begin making things for my classroom (especially my ABC's project)
  9. Make a dress with the green silk fabric I have from my wedding
  10. Finish our wedding album
  11. Lose 10 pounds
  12. Create file folder games 
  13. Learn to crochet the flowers from Pinterest
  14. Hike the Y
  15. Attend a session at the Salt Lake Temple
  16. Buy a new pair of heels (and wear them)
  17. Learn to make candles
  18. Wear more jewelery
  19. Create a menu for one month, with something different to eat each night
  20. Take another cake decorating class (maybe the fondant one!)
  21. See a play (that will take a lot of convincing to get my husband to go with me)
  22. Paint our dresser and desk (although I don't know what color)
  23. Knit a blanket
  24. Write in my journal everyday for a month (I used to be really good at this, but I stopped when we got married, so I am going to start again.)

My favorite season!

I have been a slacker, but I have a lot of pictures and updates.  Here it goes :) 


 For a date one weekend, Jeff and I went in the canyon to check out the leaves.  We wanted to go on the ski lift in Sundance, but it was closed by the time we got there.  Oh well, it was beautiful.  


 At my cousins wedding!  The picture above, with my siblings, was not posed!  We just ended up sitting together.  Haha... also, when we noticed it I said we were the "originals"... opps.  I'm going to eat my words someday when Kyra realizes  what I said. 

 Halloween!  Jeff and I were eggs, I was a deviled egg and he was a hard-boiled egg.  Cute!



  I threw Jeff a surprise birthday party!  It was Vegas themed, because I thought it was a cute theme.  He was totally surprised, had no idea!  Also, he said it was the first surprise party he has ever had!  I felt accomplished!   
We are doing well, just busy with school and work!  I have been making a lot of crafts, but I will have to dedicate a whole blog to that... someday soon!
