1st Baby Girl Shower!

I seriously have been so excited lately about throwing showers, some say I should do this as a job... maybe one day I'll do that. :) Anyway I have some awesome friends who have been so kind to let me plan and throw showers for them. Well I FINALLY got to host a baby girl shower! Our good friends are having a sweet little girl. When I asked the momma to be if I could throw the shower and what colors she wanted I just knew the theme needed to be "Pretty in Pink." What is a baby girl shower without PINK?! I couldn't have done this without my best friend Ashley she was a life saver. She was kind enough to let me bounce ideas off of her, she designed the shower invites and thank yous. Seriously she is the best! 


The food was amazing, our momma to be went on a baking kick and insisted we allow her to help with the food, we are sure glad we did! :) Most of the decorations were done by Ashley and I, the rest we purchased to save on time. We played some really fun games like Don't say the word baby, guess how many kisses are in a jar, and my favorite Pinterest find the candy bar game.

All in all the shower was ar geat success, a BIG thank you to the mother to be Jenny for allowing me to host your shower, and to Ashley for helping me plan and put this on what a success! Well hopefully this will not be my last shower, I hope to host many more.

Oh HoW i LoVe YoU!

Today would be what people I guess call our engageaversary, 7 years ago today Justin asked me the easiest questions and we've been happy ever since. Now of course I am not saying we are perfect but (warning this is going to be cheesy) we are PERFECT for each other. I found this really cute....I guess we'll call it a quote that seriously means a lot to me.

Seriously for me this sums up how I think Justin and I are. He is my best friend, he is someone I can always count on to listen to me. He may not know what to say (which seriously I dont know many guys who do) but he still tries to make me feel better when I am feeling low. Its hard to think of where I would be without Justin, seriously that is like a nightmare to me. I love this man with all my heart and I am so grateful that he picked me. <3

Can you believe this was us 7 years ago! Look how much we have changed over the years! {CRAZY!}

Look at my stud! He looks so good in them glasses :)

Well I hope you all have a fantastic Valentines Day! Remember to tell those you love how much you love and appreciate them, not just on Valentines day but every chance you get! <3 The Almonds! 

HaPpY nEw YeAr!! 2015

Well and just like that it is now 2015!! I am afraid if I blink I will miss this whole year, seriously like I stated in my last post I can't believe how quickly 2014 turned into 2015. Well when we rang in 2015 we were house/dog sitting for my best friends mom. We got to celebrate with good friends and miss Daisy (puppy). We had dinner, played games, had lots of snacks in between and drank bubbly while the count down began!

2014 A Year In Review

Okay wow where did 2014 go? Seriously, I swear we just rang in the new year for 2014 and then I blinked and now its 2015! So since I am so good at keeping up to date on this blog (wink wink) I decided I am going to do a year in review for 2014.

We had a great year, we started it off by ringing in the new year at our friends Nolan and Kori's house. We played poker, and every hour Kori planned a fun game for us to play mostly trivia for 2014.

A big thing for us this year was when Justin got his first interview for Pharmacy school. I seriously have the smartest husband! We were so excited for the opportunity he received to interview. Unfortunately it is such a competitive program that we were wait listed but I am still so proud of him we made the top 3 of the waiting list and hope for good new this year! 

Isn't he so handsome in his suit?! 

Our 7th handsome nephew was born in April this year, Daxon is such a sweet blessing in our family and we couldn't love him more! 

We celebrated our 6th Anniversary this year! Wow that is so crazy! I know its corny but I seriously love this guy more and more as the years come and go! He is such a sweet guy always making sure he works hard for us and putting my needs before his. I couldn't have asked for a better husband and best friend! 

Justin and I both turned 26 this year, we are starting to feel really old!! But we had a lot of fun celebrating with family and friends!

I somehow didn't get any shots from my birthday but believe me it was still fun!! :)

This is how the guys like to celebrate by playing super smash for Justin's birthday :)

For Halloween my best friend Ashley and her husband Nathan threw a murder mystery party! It was really fun! 

I was a school principal (I was supposed to be loony)                     Justin was a policeman (creepy)                                                          

                                                                                     

Here is the whole group! What a fun night for sure!! 

In November my amazingly talented baby sister got to play Clara in her dance companies production of the Nutcracker! I dont know where all her talent came from but man she trumps my dance career by far! Haha but seriously she is amazing! Her young women leaders and the girls came, our cousin Kristen and my Grandma Harris and Pope came. Also my best friend Ashley and my Aunt Karen drove all the way to Utah to come support her and we even got my brothers to come. LUCKY GIRL!

Seriously blessed to call these 3 my siblings! Love you! 

We also had double thanksgivings this year because we were in Utah for the Nutcracker we ate with my family there and with Justin's on actual thanksgiving! Bummer moment I just realized I totally didn't get any pictures from the second Thanksgiving! I'll try harder to be better at taking pictures this year!

For Christmas this year we did Christmas Eve with Justin's family and then that night due to a snow storm we headed to Utah for Christmas with my family! 

While we were in Utah with my parents we did sibling gifts, went to see "Into the Woods" and shopped for our gifts from mom and dad! 

Seeing "Into the Woods" as a family was fun!! 

All in all it was a great 2014!! Thanks for being a part of a great year! Love the Almonds! <3
