Big Fan of Free.

Nov 26- Let the Christmas season begin! 
P and I haven't done a Christmas card... this may just convince me to do one. 
You can't get better than freebie, right?


Shutterfly is doing a 50 free card promo for bloggy blog bloggers. (Like me! Like you!)


All you have to do is click on the link at the end of this post. 
Write a blog post about it...
Post it on FB/Twitter...


Show off some of your favs:
(I'm digging green + joy. The hard part for me would be the picture choosing... )
Lots of options people: 

I'm also considering this for a Christmas present... my sister-in-law Camie does every year and it's awesome. Plus, since I'm across the country- I could at least be w/ my fam in pictures on a calendar. 


 If you would ALSO like 50 free cards this year , check out this link: and the referral is Clever girls 1000.

(Hooray for freebie!)

Since I couldn't video chat with you.

Since our internet is being sketchy tonight- here are some things I would've talked about with my family about had our video chat worked.

This is how I feel about the end of the Colts/Pats game. We were SO CLOSE! I can't take off my jersey yet, because I'm trying to be supportive even when I'm real sad about it.

And this is how the bald spot is doing.
(Is this my bald spots first blog debut? I should probably add some pictures of this beauty. This little incident was the cause). The point of this picture is to show you all the little fuzzies that are growing in. Hooray! I'm not totally a baldy, just kind of a baldy!

And this is the little felted Turkey I made. Mom-I was planning on making you one, but I never did, sorry about that. I will make you something for Christmas, because then I won't have to send it, I can just bring it with me! Yay!


I'm buying a new router tomorrow because this internet is annoying as can be.
:) Now the rest of you get to look at the top of my head. Lucky ducks.

2 year anniversary... 4 months late

Did you know that we've been married for more than 2 years?
Lucky us.

(Peace = 2 years).

Here are some pictures of our 2 year anniversary. We spent it in Idaho Falls.

Donna (Paul's momma) was doing some girls camp prep, and so we went up to their stake property. They have this giant metal slide. You sit on a piece of carpet, and go super fast.


Riding the slide produced some hilarious faces- caught on camera.  
 Mostly Miss Marian's funny faces.
Though her momma and sister's were also funny.  
 Then we had some yum "square" ice cream in Swan Valley, ID.  I recommend the plain-ole'-vanilla.
What? You're totally jealous? Don't worry I found you a link, apparently it's one of Idaho's top road-side attractions.

Also- this is a dragonfly I caught for PB back in Provo. Isn't it pretty? Aeshna multicolor is its name. Pretending like it's dead then flying around our kitchen scaring us to death is its game.

For more of Paul's bug photography, including our own pet- Slim Jim. Check out his blog. Seeing those creatures so up-close and personal makes me appreciate them more, and glad to be married to a smarty-pants entomologist.
