So although I am not quite ready for swim suit season. It is coming, let's face it Spring in Utah is like a week long and then it's on to summer. And I'm looking out at the sunshine today (finally) and dreaming of boating in 90* weather.

I absolutely love these swimsuits, I got one last year and it was awesome-didn't stretch out, fade and was long which is a must for me.

Check them out at http://www.hapari.com/

I'm hoping to be sporting this one at Lake Powell this year!!! Hopefully won from

http://theprudentpatron.com/ or http://cuckooforcoupondeals.com/ or else it will have to wait for my birthday...

Dear Spring,

I am ready for butterflies, bird cages and pretty pink things.

Please hurry!

Love,

Me

Law School Update

We interrupt my attempts to win throw pillows for an update...

I wanted to wait until we were more for sure on where we were headed, but we're PRETTY sure we will be heading out to Lincoln/Omaha Nebraska. And by that I mean scoping out apartments sure. Flat lands here we come! Our kitchen table is currently buried by all the letters and packets we've received from schools. Nebraska was always one of my top choices. I have heard good things about Omaha and we're hoping my time spent at Farm Bureau will bring us a big payoff in getting us in-state tuition there.

We have been acccepted to the following thrilling and exotic places:

Creighton Unversity- Omaha, Nebraska
University of Idaho- Moscow, Idaho
University of Mississippi- Oxford, Mississippi
Texas Tech University- Lobbock, Texas
University of Nebraska- Lincoln, Nebraska

We have thus far been wait listed at:

University of Kentucky
University of Utah- cross your fingers and everything else you got for us!

And were rejected to:

Brigham Young University :(
Arizona
Baylor

and the only one left to hear from is:
University of Las Vegas
(probably not good news at this point)

I am SO excited about going to law school!!! Ry has been calling each and every school figuring out how to get in-state tuition and where we would live, etc. What would I do without this man! I can tell you exactly what--- fall to pieces. Left up to me I would spend all my time going back & forth between schools and when I finally made up my mind at the last minute we would be left to wing it (and not a fun and carefree wing it-I'm talking a panicked, frustrated, kicking myself in the butt, hopefully Someone will help our lives fall into a good place wing it), yes I will always go with the much more stressful...and procrastinated, unplanned plan. But at least our kids will have half his DNA and a fighting chance at a good "planning, on-the-ball" gene- and while I'm at it I hope they also get the "no stupid phobias gene" I have a list of ridiculous phobias-the phone, worms, telling people they have food in their teeth, killing bugs that might make a crunching sound, and the list goes on. Heaven help them.

More Photo Dumping

Almost forgot these two pretties. Both Sarah Richardson creations. She is good. I decided I have to put turquoise and red together somewhere in my house becuase of how much I loved this. And this is my perfect master bathroom. Clean. Light. White cabinets. Bathroom perfection.

Ok now i'm done.

My latest obsession is interior design blogs. Anytime I have ANY down time at work I am jumping from blog to blog of gorgeous, fun and fancy rooms designed by some awesome designers. So here are some of my faves. Honestly my main purpose in compiling all these is to have inspiration for one day when I have the time and money to decorate my spaces. Because one day I just know I will actually OWN something... First is the bedroom with a stenciled or wallpapered wall. I am imagining a big fancy print like this in gray or silver behind my headboard. And here is my dreamhouse...yep I'm pretty sure I could live happily ever after here.

(Meghan Morrow from When I grow up...) I have decided I have a kindof traditional style I like the clean, natural, cozy look of this room. And I love the bookshelves/cabinets on each side of the fireplace.

(Sara from August Fields)

The thing I like about this kitchen is the circle tile backsplash, the lantern light and the cool wood on the island/bar.

I was super excited when I found this design plan by Emily A Clark because it is the exact colors that I have going on in my living room. Fate.

I absolutely love the striped drapes in this dining room and the tan and red combo. I have a renewed desire to learn to sew and graduate from the pajama pants level I have been stuck at since 9th grade.

And in honor of Kayla, Marissa, Jac and all the other pregos out there...I had to include this cute girly nursery.

This was another great idea from Emily A Clark to frame art work from children's books. Clever.

Well, at least that is out of my system now. Maybe I'll start having some focus in my life again, but probably not.
