I played with your heart. Got lost in the game.

So for the 4th of july I asked for the day off and the 5th. Its was fantastic. Barbara came over and then we went to pocatello to see Kimberly and Zach. We took a little trip to the shopko there.. which wasn't as good as idaho fall's store, and then had burgers at a little family reunion party of zachs. Then we came back to idaho falls and walked from firework stand to firework stand to find some sparklers and pop its. My two favorite things on fourth of jully. We went to see the famous idaho falls fireworks and found a perfect spot and then they never started an old lady came over to us and told us some one was lost in the river so they were waiting. Barbara had to get some good old byui homework turn in online before midnight and it was getting late so we left. Right when we left they started.......

But yeah. It was a fuuun day. 

And i posted stuff on craigslist and i've already sold 5 things. Some one else is deciding on my little gold dipped desk. Which im hoping they don't get yet.. im not quite ready to use the computer on the floor for the rest of the month : (

Its our party we can do what we want.

.....well...

We sold blacky! This is all that is left. I wanted to get a picture with it before they came and took it... but didn't.  

This is darcy sleeping in the sun.

And i've been starting to take pictures of our stuff to sell. Its on this blog which i started for our last move. http://parrforsaleblog.blogspot.com/ Also... i've packed one small box of things! : ) We went through the craft room stuff and was quite proud of myself for being able to get rid of so much. 

Have a heart.

So i know i just posted about how we haven't done anything in a long time. And well... we went outside today for a little reading time. It was super pretty until chad had me follow him down some rocks to the water where there was a snake waiting to eat me up.......it was scary. Well. heres some little pictures.

Also.. we've been watching a lot of chopped episodes lately so i decided it was time to cook something. I made some super yummy cooked apples. 

I'm not excited. But should i be.

I haven't posted for a long time because we haven't done anything for a long time. Lots of work. Lots of 5am shifts : ( but i did get a .15 cent raise... so cool. cool.

Kitty gets really hot these days so she lays on her back a lot. 

Chad operated on his dying shoes. 

The final product. 

I have a new favorite shirt. : )

And we made a purple cake.. 

Return to the wild.

For memorial day we went to the zoo with our buddys kim and zack. Here are a bunch of pictures! 

You torched a saab like a pile of leaves

This is a post for sunday. Sunday was a good day. It was about 86 degrees so i really wanted to get outside somewhere. We went to our old favorite park that we went to back in october its was much nicer this time since it wasn't so cold. I wanted to pack a picnic but we didn't really have picnic food so i made a pot of noodles and we brought that and some cookies. It was lots of fun we are looking forward to going back and instead of sitting by the lake we might hike up to the top of some very large hills. : )

We had to pass the windmills of course. Which i love! We found a dirt road that drove right up to one. They are so big its scary. And majestic. 

Heres chad right next to one looking tiny. 

A pruis picture. 

Here is a close up sand/rock and lake picture. 

Sunny and warm : )

 Our yummy noodles. 

hungry chad

 And we also planted some cat grass i got from the parrs for my birthday and this is what it looked like after taking it out of the dark place it was in for a couple days. We put it in the sun and now its nice a green and normal looking. 

Every thing is fine when you're standing in the eye of the hurricane.

I had the weekend off and we actually ended up doing quite a lot of things! 

Firstly here are some late birthday pictures from my birthday package from chads family that i llooved! They got me tons of things from HomeSense one of my favorite stores in the world. My favorite gift was a set of rustic decorative keys. I've always wanted some : )

Heres me creepily ready to open my presents. 

Even the inside of the box was pretty. 

So to start the weekend i woke up super early to get ready to go to the white place flea market!! I've gone to the past 3 and this was going to be my last chance to go before we move. I did not buy anything which i didn't plan to because its quite heart breaking thinking about everything i already have that im going to have to get rid of when we move. But i loved looking around. Alsooo.. i won a door prize! We walked in and they said... you won! I got a candle and a spoon bracelet.

After the flea market we picked up barbara and went to di (of course) and some other little places with her before coming back to idaho falls. At the flea market i got super excited for crafts and saw some gold mason jars with glitter on the bottom. I've seen them on pinterest before but seeing them in person made them even cooler. So i went to di and bought some ultra cheap mason jars. And then some really pretty gold spray paint. (which finding a nice matte gold spray paint is a lot harder then you'd think. Mostly they just have ultra metallic gold)

It turned out to be one of the crafts you think will be easy and then nothing quite goes the way it should. 

Here they are outside right after spray painting.. they were beautiful. I loved them. 

Then i brought them inside to put tape around the bottom to make an even line for the gold glitter. But when i pulled the tape off the paint came right off too. It was so ruined i just pulled all the paint off. As you can see below. Real dumb. So i got creative and put a layer of modge podge on them hoping that would make it stronger.. which it did but then it looked super streaky and gave it an ugly color. So i spray painted again over the modge podge layer and called it good. 

They turned out pretty and not as scratchable but still not reliable enough to try glittering the bottom : (

And now my desk! I love love how it turned out. I found out glass is horrible to paint but furniture is still nice to me. I taped it up and spray painted and everything went smoothly and happily. I also gave the whole desk another coat of its original color. 

Shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet.

Well here is my Birthday Post!!! Chad tempted me into opening my presents the night before my birthday but he had everything decorated and presents wrapped so it was hard to resist. : ) He bought me some super duper cute things including a new cat book and perfume. 

Here are some pictures! 

 im not a big cake fan so chad got me some pecan pie. It was delish.

Here's some decorations.. lots of confetti 

 Balloons hung from the ceiling...
