i love this holiday

I love the 4th of July! (these pictures are from 2 years ago)

I love the swimming, the sun, the colors, the fireworks, and the BBQ's! I just love this holiday!

Tommorow were headed out to ABERDEEN to go Boating with Justin's cousins for the next 3 days!

I'm so excited and cannot wait! I love boating!

Time is flying by, this semester has gone by the fastest.

3 more weeks of school.

4 more weeks till Lindsay's wedding.

5 more weeks till i go home to Texas.

6 more weeks till our one year at Disneyland!

project almost complete.

So I started a project to fix up our bedroom with a little more color. I've always wanted to have an upholstered headboard. And I have been tempted to try to make one, but didn't know if I could do it. So, it all started with this sign that I bought from my friend who is moving. This sign then made for a few projects...a headboard, painting, some pillows....yadda yadda, some fun shopping.Everything isn't done yet, I still have to hang the picture frame and move a few things around, but here is the headboard! It was so easy and I am a little bit obsessed with it!

The texture of the fabric is awesome. I also bought these blue pillows that matched and even have a little bit of damask on themThen I saw this at TJ MAX for like $6! I had to get it!

I still have a few more touches to add, but I love it so far! Thanks to my friend Liz who helped me pick everything out, shes amazing at decorating!
I think it turned out great! I'm so happy with it!

10 month date.

Today marks 10 months of marriage for the MARSHALLS!

So Justin and I took advantage of our day off and the beautiful weather and made a memory!

We Went to the ZOO!I love the zoo, probably because I never went much as a kid. It was so fun!

Zebra! My fave animal, and they had a baby that was only 4 days old! Precious!

We felt like kids! Justin and I can't wait to take our kids to the zoo!
We then tried a new place for dinner called Snake Bite! It was soooo dang good.

We did some shopping.

Got some materials for the headboard i'm making.

And came home to snuggle up to a movie.

It was a great day!

These last 10 months have been amazing.
I have an amazing patient husband,

and a very blessed life.

XOXOX, MRS. M

get me out of the office and into the sun.

So this past week, I started a new job because my job at the middle school ended because school is out for summer. I was really sad because I loved my boss, loved my hours, loved the kids, and loved getting paid to play dodge ball and go bowling. It was a dream. Finding a job for two months right away in Rexburg is almost impossible. But Justin's boss knows a lot of people and hooked me up with a secretary job for a landscaping company. I am so blessed to have a job right away. The job deff isn't easy, and sometimes I feel way over my head, and don't know if I can make it for 2 months, even though that is nothing....but we really need the money and I am grateful to have this job for a short time.
But Friday, since I was locked up in the office inside all day, right when 4:30 hit, Justin and I headed for the park for a date! We bought a Styrofoam airplane, because Justin grew up playing with them....
Well it was a complete flop and would go up in the air for 2 seconds and head straight to the ground. But it was still fun!
By about 20 minutes later, the plane was done. But...we found two little kids and gave them our plane to play with. They were on cloud nine!

It was just fun being at the park with my man. We then went to dinner and rented a redbox-Tangled. It was Justin's first time seeing it and he loved it....Tangled led us to decide where we are going on our one year anniversary trip...=) more details later.

XoXoXoX.
