married life

it's official.  i am an old married woman.

i used to get excited by weekend parties, shopping with girlfriends, concerts, GNO's,
or date nights out to fancy restaurants with dawson

now let me tell you what gets me excited these days.

like so excited that i couldn't fall asleep because i couldn't stop thinking about it.

i was going to organize the pantry!!!

once i got the idea into my head, it's all i could think about.

i googled "how to organize a pantry" and oh the possibilities.

i spent more time than i care to share looking at pictures of other people's pantries.

who would have thought that other people got as excited about organizing as me?

i decided that our date night should be to ikea, since i know they have cheap storage ideas.

dawson didn't know i had a hidden agenda, but since we both love ikea he wanted to go.

we made a great night out of it, spending hours inside ikea and then nourishing ourselves at in-n-out.

i won't get into all the details of my pantry makeover

but it was quite a bit of work so you have to at least appreciate it.

before:

during:

after:

so there you have it.

my extremely exciting, thrilling, action-packed life!

we've also done extreme bathroom, bedroom closet, and kitchen makeover,

but i won't get your adrenaline going too high with pictures of those.

i'm so happy that i love where i live.

but even more importantly, i love who i share my home with.

and i wouldn't change my dull, pantry organizing life for anything in the world.

utah vs. CAL

score: 49-27

yayayayayayay!!!

we won we won we won!

i forgot how great it feels to win.

we could actually enjoy the game and the people around us,

instead of being stressed out and me having another nervous breakdown.

i was especially glad because we ate a ton of food at the tailgate before,

and i probably would have puked it all up if we were losing. 

dash almost had to babysit taedon and monroe, 

so andrew and jen could come to the game!

(luckily they did find an actual babysitter, but i still think dash could have handled it)

they may or may not be the utes good luck charms.

jason started again this week. #53.

he looks extra buff in the black unis, doesn't he?!

and then of course, the highlight of the game...

cowboy corndog.

dawson has been wanting one of these all season,

however all of the games have been too close for us to go up to the concessions.

i'm glad we finally were winning enough that he could go get one,

especially because now i won't have to hear about how bad he wants one anymore

(because it turns out, they aren't that good).
