New place...

Our new place is charming. It's a small old house (that still has a grandma scent, especially when you open the cupboards)
We have a few apple trees that we take advantage of. We are only half way through September, but we've already made apple pie twice! Hmmmm! So good.
We had a lawn put in by the landlord, and in a week it should be ready to play on!
Our porch is lovely. It is in the shade of our possibly dying chestnut tree, and our whole street is shaded with trees. Our neighbors and nice and love sharing their extra produce from their gardens.
Shane likes to play his guitar out there while we sit and listen.

Our vacations posts aren't over, but I wanted to share these pictures before seasons changed too much.

We have a lot of decorating to do, but that always takes a few months. 

We are comfortable here.

White Wall Woes are over!

Thanks to my friend Katie, my woes are over! She sent me THIS link.
I'm already mulling over color ideas, and patterns to do this. Maybe just one wall in a few rooms, behind the counter like the girl on the blog did. This is going to be a really cool experiment!
Also Jaime and I are going to make a party of it! Do it at both of our houses haha. Anyways, just wanted to  update onto this good news!
Tell me what you think about this!
bye!

House house house, i love this house...

House hunting is possibly one of my favorite pastimes. I have come to know KSL.com fairly well from the past few months of searching pointlessly. But NOW, it is not pointless searching! School starts in 5 weeks, and we need to get a move on! (haha get it?)
So today I spent many hours searching through KSL and I have come down to 5 top favorites!
Let me show you :D

1. TIPPY Top Fav.
This one is a LONG shot haha. It was originally $700 a month... ouchy. BUT they have lowered it $15! So hopefully within a week they can lower it to 550 a month including utilities... haha!
Anyways... we emailed them and gave them that offer... we figured we might as well shoot for it! Its been on the market for FOREVER! So here are some pictures!

 Its cute huh! Anyways... This home has:
Off-the-street parking
Two bedrooms
Large Bathroom
Living Room
Parlor / Den / Office
Spacious Laundry room with W/D hookups
New Oven/Range & Refrigerator
New carpet throughout
New flooring in kitchen and bathNew two tone Paint

So NICEEEEE!Still... a LONG shot.

2. Next favorito!
For $550 a month!
The home features large windows, tall ceilings, a fireplace, new laminate flooring and fresh paint.
Cute house! Good yard!

 AWESOME room! If we can fit our bed in here... we're stealing this room. What are your thoughts? Is it a little scary to have a baby in a room with a door and so many windows?

 Nice bath.

 Weirdo kitchen... haha. It looks HUGE and... all one color. But thats fine! I like the rest of it! :D

Sigh... what a dream.

3. Favorito numero tres.
Going for $425 a month! An adorbs yellow house!

 I LOVE THIS ONE! Sigh... only one problem.... its only a one bedroom. But.... it says it has a really big closet. HAHA! Maybe its big enough to make into a baby bedroom. Hahaha! We are funny!
Nothing real special except for how adorbs it is.

4. Number 4
Going for $560 a month, AND this one has 2 bedrooms!
This house is RIGHT across the street from the temple! :D. It is newly remodeled and we only have to pay for electricity which is a real dream! Not to mention it actually has air conditioning (central air no less!) which most houses in Logan do NOT have.

This is the only picture there is... haha! So hopefully the other rooms are cute too!

and last but... kinda least is
5.
I really like this one... BUT its $600 a month and... the outside makes me wanna barf.
Great looking apartment. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 Bath, an on-site laundry, and large windows with plenty of light and off street parking.

This Apartment has:
Off-the-street parking
Two bedrooms
Large Bathroom
Living Room
Shared coin operated laundry
K woof. That is the outside.

 Nice potty room :)

 Cute kitchen and nice floors!

 And good looking bedrooms! Plus new carpet!

Sigh... if only I could demolish the outside... oh well! Its really actually cute :) I do like it more then I let on.


Anyways! Thank you for enduring my love for looking at homes! We are going up to Logan Friday and Saturday to (hopefully) complete the house hunt!
Feel free to leave comments about the house you like most and anything else you'd like to express!

Future rock star!

Shane got a new toy today! A brand new bass guitar. I told him he has to play for me... because I've never heard him play. So he is playing for me right now :) how nice.

Black Ibenez... its shiny!

meep meep meep....

That is the sound of a truck. The kind of truck that does construction!
Our blog is under construction currently. We are not planning on having a huge picture of me as the main thing, it is part of an IDEA I have, but we need to take more pictures for the idea to be complete. Therefore! Look out for changes! :)
meep meep meep...

Fausett Family Reunion

This past weekend we went up to Huntington Canyon where we have the Fausett Reunion every summer. I love going there! It is so relaxing and pretty and there is always good food!
I got a few pictures from it, not many good ones though. I wish we could get one of everyone together! Maybe next year :)

Also! I am sitting on my couch right now, rather than being at work because..... dun dun dun dun! I have shingles! I'm not sure if this is really something you should announce. But I think only my family reads my blog anyways haha! So its okay!
I got back from camping with a rash and bumps on my back. They started LOOKING better but started hurting really bad! So last night we went to the InstaCare, and found out I have shingles. Normally you get them when you are older, like 50+, which makes me feel nice. Haha. Anyways, I will return to work on Tuesday, they gave me time for.... if you have a strong imagination and weak tummy dont read this... for my blisters to pop and start scabbing. Woof!!! Hopefully they are less painful by that time!
Well until next time, google nasty pictures of Shingles, and have a nice day!
p.s. its not contagious unless you are exposed to a broken blister... and most dont pop AND they are under my clothes. I'm quite harmless really! The doctor said so :)

What the summer!

Hey all!
I have not posted anything for a LONG time!... and the last post was a recipe.. so that should not even count. Sorry!
Let me tell you a bit about our summer!
Shane is working at Camp Williams, working with plants and soils and such.
I am working at Sandy Rec Center running a day camp (3 hours? is that considered a day camp?) for 3-5 year olds. Have you ever been inside a raquetball court with 15, 3-5 year olds?... ya.

We have been doing lots of things it seems like!
1. Trying to keep our house clean, I'm not very good at this.
2. Went to summer fest in Orem.
3. Gone camping, a lot.
4. Went fishing for 8 hours, didnt catch anything. Its fine. haha
5. Been with family :)
Much more.
One of our trips included bear lake! It was really fun!
I'm not going to try and make a cool collage out of all these pictures, so its just going to be a long post. K cool!
Bear(d) Lake!

 Matt Baugh

 Shane said I could post this if I censored it.

 JEDI BRAID!!!! WOO!

 If you are ever at Bear Lake, go to The Bear Cave. Hmmm... so yummy!
We had lots of fun there! We went and hung out with Matt Baugh and his family, Shane, Karl, and I slept in tents on their front lawn haha! it was cool.

When we are home, Shane LOVES to play with Tom.

Today we made Elk roast, mashed potatoes, rolls, and happiness. Karl, Matt and Sarah came over and devoured it with us! Then after slurping down 2 Creamies (:D) we played a nice game of WACKEE 6! If you don't have it, get it!

 My nutella plants (from forever ago) have blossomed... although I dont know if they grew properly :) but thats fine!

 I finished these 2 pillows I also started making months ago.

 This is often how my front room is used. I like it :)

 Also, I inherited an awesome ottoman from my grandpa! It was me taking it, or to the DI so naturally I took it! I used to sit on this, when me, Janae, and Danica would get pushed off the couches by the older cousins. Haha. We've been long time friends.

Now, we are substitute home-owners while Shane's parents go out to Wisconsin to help Ashley when she has her baby! :D I can't wait to get a picture of the lovely child!
Speaking of babies! I never posted a picture of Jaime and Peter's adorable babies!

ADORBS!

I also have a new way of taking care of my hair! Thanks to my cousin Zoey's blog post about Curly Girl's techniques. I don't shampoo my hair! I just condition it and rub it really well into my scalp with my finger tips, then rinse and put a leave in conditioner. Then I dry it with a t-shirt. Its really nice! It keeps my real curls without making it frizzy and frustrating! So... thats nice!

This coming week is the ......... oh wait... there are 2 things this weekend....
1. Harry Potter part 2 comes out!!!!!!! WOO!!!!!!!!!!! YES MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!!!!
2. Fausett Family reunion!!! WOO!!!!!
Now, dont get me wrong. But.... uh... WHO in the WORLD plans a family reunion over the LAST Harry Potter Movie??? Ya... I dunno. Whoever it was, there may be some consequences. (Hopefully my mom wasn't the culprit.)
Anyways, we'll be going do ter Price to see it the next day it comes out. Do you think they will have it in the Price movie theater? Do people in Price like Harry Potter?? I dunno! I guess we'll find out!
But I really am so excited for my reunion! :D I look forward to it ever year!

At the beginning of August we can start looking for houses/apartments/duplexes in Logan! We're trying to find a more homey comfy place that we can stay for the remainder of our school time in Logan. Why you may ask? Because moving is STINKY! That is why!
I am very excited. I've been looking for housing all summer... for no reason. Because all the places I look at will be taken by the time we get there. Haha. Its kinda an addiction.

I think next time I will fill you in on my future dreams for a home! :D Bye all!

...

this is all.

Birfday weekend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHANE!... yesterday!
He is now 23 years old. How cute!
To celebrate we first went to Lava Hot Springs and met up with my parents and Janae. It was so fun! We went and ate at the Chuckwagon, ate cake, Shane opened present, went to the hot pools, and watched some X-files, and actually much more than that.
When we got back to Logan, my dear friend Sarah was here! So Shane, Me, Sarah and Megan went to Baby Animal Day! and.... (drumroll please!) I HELD A BIRD!!!! Pictures to come!
Besides holding a bird (one of my greatest fears) we saw tiny turtles, pigs, ponies, chicks and more! The best part is that we left with a little bunny! Yes, you read me right! Sarah bought a bunny for her mom!
The rest of the day consisted of crepe eating, X-Files watching, and playing with bunny.
When Sunday came we went to church, naturally, and then we went over to Jaime and Peter's house! Shane's parents came up for his birthday! We had a delicious dinner of Beef Stew, salad, and Rhodes rolls (the best in town).
We are more cake and opened more presents.
It was just nice to see so much of our family and our friends :).

This is my hawk cake I made, please ignore the gimp wing haha!

And here are some pictures from our adventures of the weekend! :)

Have a great week!
Make the best of the rain!
Bye!
