Our Date Night Jar

I have always wanted a date night jar. I didn't get one at a bridal shower or for a gift at our wedding, so I decided to make our own! While making this simple craft, I thought that it was actually better that we made it together instead of having other people make it for us. Coming up with ideas were fun because it was US and we know what we like to do. I'm not saying friend-made date jars are not any good because they are! I wish I had one made for me, but making our own was a lot of fun too. :)

Paint the ends of the tongue depressors so that when you are done with the date, you can turn it over and keep doing new ones!

Hi there!

There is so much to tell you!

I have been back and forth with maybe switching blogs, but in the end it was easier and better to just stick with this one and add some new changes. I'm so excited to apply what I learned in my "creating online media" class.

I'm still not stuck on the name, even though everything is fine ("all is well"), I might change my blog title to "anna" or something creative like that. Coming up with blog names are the worst.

I have been trying to be a little more social at church now that we are not in nursery anymore, so I went to a relief society activity. That night I learned more about interior design. The very first step before anything is to clean. So I jumped right in and spent my entire Saturday (and Sunday) cleaning our apartment, getting rid of old clothing and moving on! It's really just what I needed and I can feel happier in our home now. I'm holding on to less and breathing easier. I even re-arranged and made it look like all our "storage" is "hidden".

It's behind the bigger couch.
I'm getting rid of the fabric thing in the right hand corner and all those frames (maybe).

love your life

This baby girl got married this weekend! It was so beautiful and wonderful that we were able to attend and be there for them. I'm so excited for their life together. Yay for a big brother now (by 6 months)!

I have been thinking a lot about life lately. I need to love mine more and just appreciate what I've been given and the blessings I receive every. single. day. There is so much time to be grateful for and to love your life. 

An assignment and an enjoyable video.

Kenter was my model for my After Effects project. He did a great job fighting nothing with our ice scraper!
