Weekend Goodies
Several goodies came to us this weekend.
First goody . . . these books.
It comes in a whole set of 10, but I didn't have $100+ to spend, so I chose 3 of my favorites. I got the idea to buy these from this blog.
Confession: I bought these 3 for the color of the covers. I've never read "Cranford." Have you? Is it bedside table-worthy?
Second goody . . . these pillows for our couch.
On sale at Pottery Barn. I spent a whole week contemplating whether I should buy them or not. Finally, I sat at the computer to purchase them . . . and they were all sold out! Of course. I called the store in Salt Lake and had them set some aside for this fickle-minded girl!
Third goody . . . heaven.
This was my birthday cake! 3-layers of the most delicious chocolate cake on the planet. Brian had my sister pick it up from Magleby's Fresh in Provo. Yum!

(Formerly) Miss Independent
I used to pride myself on my independence. I opened all my jar lids, managed all my car repairs, did my taxes (I guess my dad helped a little there), carried heavy items from my apartment to my car, opened my own doors, killed spiders without so much as a gasp . . . and then I got married.
Brian went to St. George for the weekend. And I am realizing how un-independent (i.e. dependent) I've become! Tonight as I looked deep into one of our cupboards, I saw this:
(If you can't tell, it's a large spider- about 1 inch big!) My heart stopped beating. I think my breathing even paused. I thought, "I need Brian!" Suddenly, I realized that I've been killing spiders for years. I reproached myself for being such a pansy and went to grab some toilet paper because I was going to smash that thing and, so doing, regain my independence!
I slowly crept my hand closer and closer, anticipating an attack at any moment. I pounced on it and smashed. As I pulled my catch out of the dark cupboard, I soon realized what my spider really was. . .
Yes, a toy spider ring. I am so lucky it didn't attack!! So, with my newfound independence, I would like to offer to come kill any plastic pests that might be haunting you.
P.S. I swear the top picture doesn't do it justice- it looked much more realistic in real life!

2 Weeks
Yesterday, Brian turned 27! (happy bday again, honey!) We had a wonderful day full of all the things Brian loves- rock climbing, good food, friends, xbox, buying new movies, and spending time with his favorite person (me!). It was a lot of fun!
With the passing of Brian's birthday, I have entered my favorite 2 weeks of the year (just so you know, I'm known to use the term "favorite" quite loosely). For two weeks, I get to be 2 years younger than my husband! Brian turned 27, yet I'm still the ripe, young age of 25! Exactly 2 weeks from his big day, I will be turning 26 and we'll go back to the 1-year apart thing. But in the meantime, I have 14 days to enjoy feeling younger than usual! Wahoo!
