Best Post YET!!!

OKAY!  So I know I don't have a ton to update on, but I do have a lot of pictures to put up!   Some of these are way over due, but the last month has been pretty chaotic.  

First.  When I was in Texas, I was dying to get my hair done.  But I didn't have my wonderful Jenny to do it for me!  I was also trying to save money, so I went to WalMart.  That's right.  I bought a box!  GASP! When I went to BYU Hawaii, I highlighted my own hair with a box and it turned out amazing!!  

While at WalMart, I met an older woman who was looking at hair color boxes too.  We started talking and she became my reason for completely doing this to my hair.  Brady was coming in town that night to visit for the day and I wanted to look extra cute!

This is my before shot....don't judge.  Seriously.  It's also very dirty.


As you can see...this is nothing a little baby powder could cover.  I needed something SERIOUS!

So after the box dye, my roots were slightly orange.  I cried, but got over it 10 minutes later.  My mom (who hadn't even seen it) convinced me on the phone that it was probably better than my roots.  TRUE.  

This is the after shot.

What are your thoughts?  I'm only wearing that red shirt because I didn't want to get dye on my cute tie dye shirt. HAHA

Ok next on the list of updates.  My last day at SeaWorld was bitter sweet.  I was so excited to get back to Utah to be with my sister, cousins, friends and Brady, but it was a little sad.

I was able to go meet a couple of the Beluga Whales!  I got to do some of the tricks the trainers get to do.  It was so fun!  I officially love these animals.  They really have a mind of their own.



When I got home from Texas I went to DI in search for some bedroom furniture.  You know what?  I love good deals and I love crafts.  That's why I love DI...sometimes.  But this time, it was great!!!  I found a nightstand for $5 and a tall dresser for $8.  Yeah...$13 all together.  Saweet.  My sister emily helped me redo them.  Here are the before and after pics.  I haven't put hardware on them yet, but you can get the idea.








So as you all know, I said yes to my apartment before I even saw it.  I had Amanda go look at it for me and she said yes, so I said YES!  Lauren came with me for the first time to see it and I was insta-in-love.  Cutest neighborhood.  Kids everywhere.  Safe.  And our landlords were out in their garden...precious.  Anyway, our apartment is the bomb.

This is Brady and all of our crap everywhere.  As you can tell by his face, moving is not fun haha.

The first night Brady got home we slept on an air mattress.  Hi--it was like deflated by the time we woke up in the morning.  So that day we went and bought a bed.  This is not our comforter...it's some suede one that Brady has had his whole life and he thinks it's the coolest.  I am not really a fan.  Don't judge.

A couple days ago my grandma's husband was so nice to drive up all of our wedding gifts and some of our furniture.  We FINALLY have gotten everything moved in!!!  There are still some finishing touches, but it feels so good to be in a clean home without any boxes.  Here are some pictures!!


I love our couches!!  We got a great deal for with the Labor Day sale!! :)
We bought our tv on KSL and got a great deal.  Brady loves that he can watch football now!
I still need a lamp shade for the bedside lamp and a few more pillows :)

(Our real bedding...I LOVE IT!)


The bathroom...

This is by far the most intense post I have ever done.  Let me know if you enjoyed it!!  Hope everyone is having a great Saturday and a great 3 day weekend!
