Our Second Anniversary...& We're Moving!!

Happy Tuesday!

As you may have read, we just celebrated our second wedding anniversary! It's crazy how fast time has gone by since we got married. Life has been extremely busy lately so we sort of made last minute plans, including small gifts to each other not wrapped at all, and no cards (we both love giving/receiving nice cards for special occasions). We joked that this year was just going to be our "ghetto anniversary", though it was nowhere near that, just not as planned or prepared for as our first.


I got Tay a little sheet of coupons for date nights, getting the car cleaned out by his lovely wife (it's a mess), and a couple's massage (he's been wanting to get a professional massage forever so he got a coupon for us to go get one after we walk at graduation because we're poor right now haha)

Tay got me a cute earring set and some combat boots. I've been wanting boots like this forever but could never bring myself to spend the money, but he was able to find some of a different brand that were a really good price. Totally surprised me!
             

Taylor won the husband of the year award by taking us to get PEDICURES together as one of our activities. He knew I would appreciate one but didn't want to send me alone, and his feet were in need of some TLC (to no one's surprise he's never had a pedicure before). I'm not sure this will ever happen again, but it was surprisingly really fun to go together! He was a good sport :).

A little skeptical..

We went to dinner at PF Chang's (and ate way too much), and then spent the evening at home watching a movie an eating yummy Samoa's (the girl scout cookie) ice cream. We've been trying to hunt down the girl scouts so that was as good as we could get for the moment.

                    

Oh, and most importantly we have some news!! We are moving.....to TEXAS!!!! Yes that's right, we finally decided! It has been a long few months of stress, paperwork, waiting, paying for flights/hotels/rental cars, etc. and we are so excited to know where we're going!! Texas was never number 1 on our list (in fact Tay was going to cancel his interview there because he really liked a Tennessee school, but his hotel reservation was non-refundable--what a blessing!)...but we both feel really good about it and are excited and nervous for our new adventure! Right now we're BYU Cougars and next we'll be University of Houston Cougars, but wearing red! Thank you for all of the love, support, and advice as we've been on this journey!

Oh, the places you'll go

Life has been a little nuts around here lately. I start work next week so I've had quite a break (which I've kind of loved) while Tay works his bum off at school, work, and now getting ready for our next adventure...optometry school! I've mentioned it in several posts, but now things are gettin' REAL up here. So far Taylor has been invited to interviews (remember how you can't get accepted without going to an interview first?) at 3 out of the 5 schools he applied to. I'm pretty dang proud of him! What that means is that he meets their academic requirements and now they just want to get to know him and see if he's a good fit for their school. Unfortunately we have to take the bill on all of his interviews, so let's just say we've been cutting down on our extracurricular activities and going out. But it will all be worth it! I'm excited but nervous to find out where we'll be moving! We've been looking up the housing that they suggest at each school and looking into the areas we might be living in. We thought we had a top choice of school but after looking into the ones he's been invited to, we just don't know! If any of you know anything about or have lived in these places, fill me in! So the only places he hasn't heard back from yet are Pacific University in Oregon and Ohio State (in Ohio :)), but I put them on the map just for fun to look at where we might go!

In other news I've just been working on my shops and sewing my little heart out! Here's some fun things I've been up to:

I made this skirt for my little sister and I kind of love it because it has a bow AND pockets. So I may or may not have made myself one....ok fine two.

I have been having so much fun designing for my INKH Designs shop. Here are some fun new things I've created that I'm planning to print for myself as well!
