Faces in Places

I was just taking a much needed browsing break from the 'Multi-State Claims Program Booklet' I've been working on and found this really fun website called Faces in Places. People submit pictures of things they've seen that look like faces. Well, I got a kick out of it.

I am an etsy fiend

I have been obsessed with etsy lately and I want to share the addiction. If any of you guys haven't been to this site yet, you are totally missing out. Here's just a sampling of my recent purchases:


from pressureless



from sugarloop


from the littlest flower


from dangsworld

The best thing about this site is how reasonable everything is. Everything you see above is less than $20! My friend Liz even started a etsy shop, so check hers out too by going here.

Sorry Locks of Love

So Eric has been saying [threatening] to grow his hair out until Christmas. Normally I wouldn't mind, I usually never say anything about his appearance. Like when he showed up to a work party that's $80 /head business casual in jeans and a t-shirt...but he has really nice hair. When I have okay curly hair and I come to find that after a few months of his resistance to the razor that he has gorgeous curly hair, it gets a little annoying. So after a few little snide stabs throughout the past couple months he finally surprises me with this:



Doesn't he look cute? I took this picture of him at the Combined Youth BBQ last night and it took me a minute to find him because he looks so dang young now! He blended in with all the young men. He can't go wrong, first he has better hair than me and now that he cuts it all off he looks younger than me? Maybe I'll just have to accept the fact that I married up.

and speaking of chairs...

Isn't this chair gorgeous? Through my endless searching, I finally found a rocking chair I didn't despise. We just got it yesterday and I just have to say, I'm in love.

It's Finally Here!

Back in February Eric and I though it would be nice to buy a little chair for our living room. After seven months and many false alarms, it has finally arrived. Seven months is a long time to wait for a chair you say? I tend to agree. Let's review all that has been accomplished since February:




1. Utah has gone through all four seasons...



2. We grew a whole lawn in our backyard...



3. We've basically refinished our whole basement...



4. We've almost gone through a whole presidential election...



5. UDOT switched out every major bridge on I-80...



6. All athletes from across the whole world competed in every major summertime event...



7. My neighborhood got all newly paved streets...



8. We've gone from hurricane Arthur all the way to Josephine...



9. Oh and Eric and I pretty much created a whole new human being, minus a couple months.

So I ask, why would it take so long for a little chair?
