The rest of the new stuff in the house pictures.

Lamo cell phone pictures, but I wanted to show the new red stuff.

Kitchen

Towel, not for using :) We've done pretty good so far.

Canisters--not new. But the red thingy under them is.


Canisters and my fruit bowl :) I like it, Trevor doesn't.

Sign above my stove--not new, but I like the red and green contrast.

The rug. Too bad it already has dirty kitchen stuff on it.

Close up of the curtain. I love the top!

The sewing job Robyn did for me :) I need my own sewing machine; I always forget how to load the thread since I use them so rarely.

New shot of the table with the red placemats. Woot! I think they're my favorite part.

Um, another angle because I like it.

Fuzzy closeup of the plate deal.

Close up of the centerpiece.

These are the squash inside. I'll be sad when it's not fall anymore and I have to find something more season appropriate.

Ribbon and straw stuff. What's it called?

And randomly, my living room curtain rod and curtain color. I'm in love with it so I thought I'd share it with you. (Besides, if I put it on my blog, it will stay forever and I'll never lose the picture...my excuse for not scrapbooking .)

Sweet Heaven ...

Home Improvement

So since our anniversary, we've been working on keeping our house cleaner. I know, for some of you, it's like, "What?! Your house isn't clean?" But, like 90% of the world's homes, no it's not. Maybe one day.

We did some improvements that really are helping us WANT to keep it spick and span all the time. We rearranged the living room so it feels more open. Not to mention Trevor got a sweet new big screen (57") from his work for $150! Since the living room is more open, and we brought our desk back out of the second bedroom, it worked out to finally pull our dinign room table out from the wall and move the computer to the desk. It feels so nice to actually have a dining room be used for what it's supposed to! I put out my table decor, and got new red placemats that balance out all the green and brown.

Last Saturday while I was at Target shopping for yet another wedding, I decided it was my turn to get something cool for our house. So, along with the red placemats, I got new red curtains, towels, and a rug for the kitchen! It looks so great in there now! Before it was mostly white with random colors in some places. But now it has a theme. Robyn helped me trim up the curtains with her handy sewing machine so they weren't so incredibly long. I could say nothing better to explain how I'm feeling but this:

:)

These pictures are sort of in the middle stage of our improvements. They are before the big screen and before the red additions to the dining room and kitchen. Why am I no good at getting up-to-date pictures? Who knows.

Trevor

1. Where did you meet: A combination of choir and seminary.
2. How long did you date before you were married? Two years and 10 days.
3. How long have you been married? 2 years and 16 days.
4. What does he do that surprises you? Turns off all the lights and makes scarey noises :)
5. What is your favorite feature of his? His shoulders and back.
6. What is your favorite quality of his? His strong values and determination to stand up for what he believes in.
7. Does he have a nickname for you? Gol, which one?! Poo Leg seems to be the most common. I like Honey Bunches of Oats better.
8. What is his favorite color? Uh... I don't think he really has one. Maybe black, but I wouldn't say he likes it that much more than all the others. It just depends on what the color is being used for.
9. What is his favorite food? Apparently it's lasagna still.
10. What is his favorite sport? Teatherball. Haha!
11. When and where was your first kiss? On my mom's couch 2 weeks after we started dating. He pulled the old switcharoo on me and told me he'd wait until I was ready. Tricky tricky.
12. Favorite thing to do as a couple? Depends on the day. Watch movies, go see things like the zoo, go out to eat. Have living room picnic/movie nights
13. Do you have any children? Not yet.
14. Does he have a hidden talent? His vocal abilities and desires are quite hidden from many of his family and friends--we hope more people will be able to share in his talents some day.
15. How old is he? 21 years, 5 months, and six days. Do you count time in the womb?
16. Who said I love you first? I think it was Trevor. Neither of us can really remember. We remember the event--it was in a car when I was dropping him off at home.
17. What is his favorite type of music? Black metal/hardcore/death metal all all combinations thereof. There's probably some other kinds I didn't mention.
18. What do you admire most about him? He's committed to me even though he could be out having a fun life being 21. he admits he loves me and is okay with what that means :) He knows what he wants and believes in and stands for it. He doesn't let other people looking down on him stop him from fulfilling his dreams. He's smart but not nerdy. He freaks out about things like Iron Man and Between the Buried and Me coming to Salt Lake. He likes kid stuff and birthday cake. He can design freaking unique and awesome art in photoshop (I don't admire that he won't make me a new blog background though, even though he can). I admire the times he calls for pizza on his own.
19. Do you think he will read this? Probably not, he doesn't get on the internet very much anymore. Which is okay, in case I got one of the questions wrong :)

Pumpkin Carving!

Wednesday night we decided spontaneously to carve pumpkins with Trevor's brother Travis and his wife Robyn. They live right next door so it wasn't too difficult to coordinate :) This is probably more pictures of pumpkin carving that you ever wanted to see, but I like taking pictures, so you can just enjoy.



This one's mine. I like it.
Mine has a curly cue.
Travis' in progress...

Trevor's

We made hot cocoa, and it was perfect! We started the water boiling in Travis and Robyn's tea pot and it was whistling quietly pretty much the whole time. It sounded like someone moaning...totally set the mood for Halloween.
The gunk from inside.

How come everyone had to make their pumpkins look so much better than mine?

Travis and Robyn's on their porch, pre-candles.

Becky and Trevor's on our porch, pre-candles.
Trevor's, an official jack-o-lantern. I like how the flame is in the eye...spooky.
Ours, together.




Travis and Robyn's together. Robyn named hers Mike Wizowzky.

Travis'.
Robyn's.
Ours again...
Again, but it's okay because it's from a slightly different angle.



The stalk of Trevors. I like how it looks like there's lava or fire just waiting to burst out.

Trevor's. I liked his without the top on because it looks like his head has fire coming out.

The only picture of me :) My hair looked like crap that day.

Wha??

Trevor cut his freaking hair!

I have to admit, I was scared before. I really liked his long hair.

But everything turned out okay :)

So, here's the Trevor you all know (at least, the one you've known for 2 years). He's hot.

Here's a big reason why he wanted to cut it so bad. For his new job he has to wear it in a pony tail :( Way to ruin the awesomeness. He doesn't like the pony tail look.
And here's the new Trevor (at least, right after they cut his hair and styled it not quite as perfectly as he can).

I'll pro'lly get some better pictures eventually as time goes on. But I think he looks pretty hot still :)
