that one time I got off my tooshie and made something.

In a sad, pathetic attempt to document my "25 while 25" 7 months later I bring to you.....this planter box I made with my own two hands. And I might add with little to no supervision/help from Tyler. 

Sorry to get you all excited for this. If you want me to build you one, I would be glad to. Contact my agent for availability.

get ready to see a whole lot of me.

what's new in the MOORE household.

 Well...we got married. Last Saturday...and it was perfect. We also adopted a new dog a few months ago. Her name is Princess and she's a good girl. That is her smiling above.

We (meaning mostly Tyler) rebuilt our deck. I helped screw some things down (that's what she said) and so I'm claiming some credit to helping build this beaut. 

 My nephew and all of my other family came into town for our wedding. This is a picture of the moment we were first reunuited. "Oh Aunt Jamie...I missed you!!" That boy sure knows how to melt my heart. And drain my pocketbook. "Oh you want 2 sno cones and some ice cream at the Bee's game? Sure here you go!" He's totally worth it.

 We met 311!! By far one of the coolest things I've ever done. I will write more in another post with the pictures we got taken with them.

 Daisy has a new Be-Fri (best friend in Jamie speak) and they like to eyeball me while eating dinner. On the couch. Don't judge. 

 I got to cross off another thing off my 25 while 25. I changed my own oil!! By myself! Take that!! I watched Tyler do it once and then while he was at work I decided to take the car by the horns and change my oil before our honeymoon. Well, I got it done and it only took 4 phone calls to Tyler to make sure I wasn't loosening (is that a word?) a bolt that would cause the engine to crash on my pretty (ha!) face.  So approximately 2 hours and 3 beers later...my oil was changed! If you couldn't tell by the number of exclamation marks I'm pretty damn proud of myself. 

This is a half assed attempt in proving I changed my own oil. Yes I wore those toilet cleaning gloved but in my defense they were brand new and I had to keep my nails pretty.

cuteness overload.

engaged!

Love him!!

The boys again.

Tyler and I had the opportunity to see our favorite band 311 twice! We saw them in SLC and then road tripped to San Diego to see them again. We spent the night in Vegas on our way there and had a blast. These are memories that I will never forget.

Things I currently love:

#1: Mio

I drink a lot of water. I mean a lot. I like it. But sometimes I want a little pizzaz with my beverage. My sister introduced this little gem to me during my last visit. I can't get enough. It's sugar free but doesn't taste like it! SWEET!

#2 OPI Shatter

I have the black shatter. And I LOVE it. It looks really cool if you put it on correctly. You have to have a gentle hand and what nots. Believe me, I've painted many a nail trying to get it down. It now comes in silver, white, and red. I really would like them all but it is currently a hot item meaning big dollars.

#3 Etsy

This is really becoming a problem. I find so many cute vintage things on here for dirt cheap. I found this bitchin owl necklace a while back and I really love it. I really like turquoise at the moment.

#4 SNL's the best of Will Ferrell vol. 1

I laugh out loud every time I watch this. I like this sketch in particular and the "WINK!" catchphrase. (Is it a catchphrase? I'm no good with words.)

#5: This smile

It melts my heart every time. I LOVE this kid. Being an Aunt is great. (This picture is horrible. I stole it off my facebook and for some reason it is super small. Will replace later.)

Welp....this concludes this little things I currently love. Tune in next time...when I can come up with another five random things.
