crafty?

im not really that good at it, or that creative when it comes to being crafty, but i LOVE to make crafts. i could spend a lot of money at porters buying supplies to make cute things for my house but i have no money. i was looking at this blog lyndseyscraftspot.blogspot.com and saw she had made these cute wooden easter eggs covered in scrapbook paper, and i thought we have wood jared got for free and i have lots of scrapbook paper so i thought i'd try it out! we used jared's dad's wood cutting tools to cut out the egg shape and then i decorated them.

don't judge I'm still learning!


i want to find (or make) a cute sign that says happy easter on it or something like that... we'll see what i can come up with. so...to be continued... hopefully.

if you have any cute/easy/cheap easter craft ideas, let me know, i wanna craft some more, and it keeps me away from homework :)

spring?

Some of you might not think the picture below is very pretty, but to me, it's the prettiest thing ive seen outside in a long time!

I love that the snow is almost all the way melted outside our apartment and we can see the GRASS. i love summers in rexburg and im anxious for it to grace us with its presence once again.

we havent really been up to too much (surprise surprise). jared's grandpa passed away last sunday and we had the funeral last Wednesday. jared's extended family is HUGE. there's a total of 101 grandkids and great grandkids. its crazy! his brother and sister-in-law from washington came down and we had a fun week playing games with his family in idaho falls.

we're both registered for classes for next semester... kind of... im on a waiting list to get into a class i HAVE to have in order to student teach, so im a little stressed, i know they'll add me, but until then...

jared really likes working at jimmy johns. he's made about 80 dollars in tips in the last 2 weeks that he brings home and puts in a little tin jar... i always tease him we're saving it up for a crib :) i havent minded the sandwiches he brings home either they sure are tasty! my personal favorite is the country club loaded with ham, turkey cheese lettuce and tomatoes and mayo. its making me drool just thinking about it.... maybe ill run over to jimmy johns for lunch today?

im looking forward the the semester ending in a few weeks cause then we get to go to utah (real exciting i know) for my sisters wedding and im SO excited to see my family!
