marriage

Today Chase & I have been married 5 months!
WOOOOOOO!

I have learned & grown a whole lot since i've been a married lady.

I have learned that ...

• going to bed at 8:30-9ish isn't so bad
• matching up 2 student/working schedules is pretty impossible
• having just 1 car is completely doable
• laundry really is relaxing
• when you pay for things yourself,  you appreciate them a lot more

I could go on all day with this list...

but most important thing i have learned is....

{the Simplicity of life brings me the most joy}

waking up to Chase, the love of my life is the best feeling ever.

Working a long shift & knowing that I get to come home to Chase.

Counting down the hours until Chase gets home from school/work, just so I can give him a hug.  

Doing fun, little sweet things for my wonderful husband, & the joy that comes with it. 

Family is crucial, and everything in this life. 

Each day i fall more and more in love with Chase Nathan Adams.  I learn more and more about him each day, more things to love! He is truly the most gracious, patient, kind hearted, Christ-like, loyal man I have ever met.  I am so glad He decided to marry me... 

ME? i'm not sure how I got so lucky, but i am sure glad that i did! 

Being married is the greatest thing in this world!  I want all my single friends to get married, so they can truly know how amazing it is! 

ah, he's such a sweet boy! 

{christmas delights...}

Christmas is RIGHT around the corner! I am getting oh so excited for it too, just ask Chase! ha ha 


My top 10 favorite things about this time of the year are:


1. The music of the holidays- i love the timeless, classic tunes & also GLEE! 


Michael Buble's new christmas album get 5 stars from me, I highly suggest it! 

Listen for yourselves & get an insight to the wonderful album...


2. Baking 
  I love to bake-- baking is very fun & soothing for me.  I enjoy especially cookies & cupcakes due to the decorating & making them look perfect for the occasion.  I truly do love trying new things as well.  I made some sugar cookies today with a whipped cream cheese frosting & used my little scooper to frost them to give them a unique look.  I love the way they turned out! 

3. Zoey


Zoey has thee cutest santa baby dress & i just found thee perfect santa slippers to keep her paws warm! she isn't sure about them yet, however she will love them soon.. i just know it!! Zoey is the sweetest, cuddle bug there ever was.  She is like a little baby who never grows or cries! love her!

4. The wonderful Christ-like attributes of people.
I wish it were Christmas every day of the year due to how kind people become.  I don't understand why they can't be optimistic & cheerful & giving all year long!  The world would be a much better place, however I enjoy the 2-3 months we get of it anyway.  I love all the smiles that stretch from ear to ear, & all the generosity to those in need.  You can feel the love spread in the air. 


5. Hazelnut Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows
Nothing gets better than this.  Drinking that delicious drink & feeling it literally warm your soul as it goes in your mouth.  BEST invention ever! 


6. Christmas Decor-  
I love the garland, the trees, wreaths, bows, lights, snow men, ornaments, welcome mats, candles... need i go on?? 
I LOVE it all!  I love walking into my parents house, seeing the lit up railing with pine & white lights.  Seeing the multiple trees.  To me Christmas trees are mesmerizing.. GORGEOUS, beautiful & gracious. Seeing a tree lit with white lights & amazing precious ornaments is outstanding, i love it! I wish all trees looked like my mommies! 


7. Fall/Winter Coats & Trends
I love the cute clothing & layering for the cold seasons.  I love the look of a cute dress over tights/leggings & boots with a cute jacket on top!  I really want this cute coat off Glee... Unfortunately they don't sell it, it's a one of a kind.  Maybe i'll get my mom to make one... ;) 

8. Temple-
Something about the Temple surrounded by the pure snow... 
It is so peaceful & quite the sight.  It makes it more pure in my mind, i love it!
I love the Temple any day of the year, however it becomes very special with the snow covered mountains in the background.  I sure do love it!

9. Family
The Holidays are time for Families to get together even more!! 
I love being with all of my Families, reminiscing on all the good times, all the funny things you did as children. laughing, loving, & growing closer together... it's GREAT!


10. I love CHASE!
This will be our very first Christmas married!! ya hooo! ha ha Which means I get to decorate our cute little apartment with Chase, my best friend! I can't wait til i can say "Remember our very first Christmas together?" Ah i love that man so much! He is the best thing in my life! :)
