3 Things to Love

1. Water Marble Nail Art

So a guy at work told me to Google "water marble nails" and watch a video.

He said it would blow my mind and it did!

Look at these beauties...

You should watch a video too...

So I haven't actually tried doing this yet but I showed my sister and she did it and said it was awesome.

2. Ten Minute Trainer DVDs

These babies usually cost around $90 and come with resistance bands and meal plans and crap like that but I found the workout DVDs only used on Amazon for $4! Winning!

Tony Horton is the P90X guy and these DVDs rock because there are five workouts that are 10 minutes each and you can do as many or little as you have time or endurance for.

3. Huckleberry Shakes!

This is how you completely ruin #2.

I love huckleberry ice cream more than anything but the only stuff I could find is Tillamook Mountain Huckleberry which is really just vanilla with huckleberry swirled through it. I was disappointed in the flavor at first but then I realized it just needed to be blended up into a shake! Delicious!

And what is even better is Arctic Circle now has huckleberry shakes and I received a $1 off coupon today! Woot Woot! Now if you will excuse me I have to run on over to Arctic Circle...

This time last year...

Around this time last year I was having tons of fun with my dear friend and neighbor Kristi. We did cool stuff like drove to Sun Valley, caught Garth Brooks in concert and took crappy cell phone pictures of him leaving the arena, drove through horror-movie-type-middle-of-nowhere land and scared ourselves  half to death, and we saw the Backstreet Boys in concert with 70,000 of our closest friends. Wow. That was the longest sentence EVER!

Me and Kristi at the Boise Music Festival 2010

Sadly, Kristi has some issue with not wanting to do such activities this year. Something about how she would be "extremely pregnant" or "have a newborn" this year. Whatever Kristi!

I will however be braving the festival again this Saturday with my other lovely friend and co-worker Misty as well as the Katy Perry concert in the evening. Can't wait. I will miss you though Kristi!

Four Years

The Loveland Family turned four years old yesterday!

Boy time sure does fly, but for every complaint I have about Jared I think I have a hundred warm fuzzy feelings for him.

Here are a few:

He hasn't stopped opening my door for me since we met.

He aways accommodates my Diet Coke addiction but running to the store when I have withdrawals.

He tells me I am beautiful every day..

He chases me.

He compliments my mothering skills.

He supports my decisions.

He works and strives for a better life for his family.

He never lets JR down.

He massages my back and feet WHENEVER I ask (seriously, it's true!)

He keeps my crazy in control.

He brings me to reality.

He knows me inside and out in every way possible and is my best friend in the world.

I love you Jared. Can't wait for the next four years!

Gosh, you will be really old by then, but I won't be quite 30! Just kidding Babe!

Don't be jealous....

Don't be jealous of me because I have these two as my brother and husband...

HELLO JULY!

Can anyone else believe that 2011 is HALF over?
And S U M M E R weather is just getting here? Crazy.

Well anyway, Jared and I are trying to be better people basically and we really really want to get back to church. Someone mentioned on a blog I came across that they were doing a challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 31 days. I thought this sounded like a really good idea and 8-ish chapters a day really isn't so much so I decided to accept! Here is the schedule if anyone wants to do it with me!
