merry, merry

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I hope your New Year's is awesome too. I have today and tomorrow off from work and I couldn't be more pleased. I have great plans to organize, exercise, spend my gift certificates, etc. Even if I don't get everything done, it feels nice to have some choice in what I'm doing.
Christmas was very fun this year - did it seem to just fly by for anyone else? I was more ready than ever, but it still seemed to just whoosh by. The week after Christmas is always weird to me - you don't want to work, you shouldn't play, it's just kind of uhh *shrugging shoulders*. I am happy it is kind of slower though, that feels nice.
For Christmas we were spoiled (as per usual). We got our favorite cereals, a really neat picture of our last name - like the ones shown here...but taken by our Shawn, IKEA giftcard, Joann's giftcard, TJMAXX giftcard, Amazon and Itunes giftcards, sushi giftcard, a new sewing machine, cute socks, new clothes, Robin Hood (the one with the foxes), cute little magnet bottles, and my list could go on. We just had a great time. It was fun to get, even more fun to give. Oh yeah, Thomas also made me an incredible rolling island for my kitchen. It is amazing. He's learned how to weld, so there is no stopping us now. 

Here she is. If you want one (and I know you do, just go here: www.kingbirddesign.com) (yes, i just did a plug for our business, don't judge)

Welded corners and casters! I can roll her anywhere.

Like the tile? It matches our kitchen perfectly...but guess what? When we move to a new place, we can take the tile out and replace it with whatever surface we want. Tom's a genius, just sayin'. Looks like I need to use that potato, it's gettin' a little saggy.

I've had two weddings this month, which is unusual for December, but they were fun. Here are some pictures.

I'm not usually a fan of the Christmas colors, but the roses and hydrangeas made me a happy camper.

These are the same bouquets, just lying on the sidewalk.

Do you like the feathers? Actually, I don't care if you do or not, they are so awesome.

The groom's boutonniere. Star of Bethlehem (the weird green thing), is probably one of my new favorites. My cute friend from www.rubybloomflowers.com helped me with these. She's the best, I wish we worked together all the time.

Oh yeah, and I did this one in October. Kind of fun.
Anyway, this season has been great. I love all the hustle and bustle of December, the parties, the food, the presents, the sparkle. And more importantly, I also love the service, the family, the friends, and my Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope to take a little bit of what I felt this December with me throughout the year.
Tom and I sent out a digital card for Christmas this year and I'm afraid we missed some people, so I'm posting it here too (hope you can see it). We hope you had a happy Christmas too!

Post 110

I thought it was kind of neat that this is going to be my 110th post. I'm kind of sad that I didn't notice my 100th. I would have made it a bigger deal. Maybe thrown some confetti at my computer...or something. 

Anyway, I just wanted to show you what I've been working on lately. My cousin-in-laws asked me to help them make a website for their new business. It's called My Everyday Key and it's pretty darn cute. I hope they do really well and make lots of money! It's a very good idea. You should buy one.

Dear Blogger Pages,
Love you!

Dear Psych,
It's possible that I've watched you at least twice now, and you are still so hilariously funny.

Dear Homemade, Hand-dipped Chocolates,
You are delicious and surprisingly easy to make. I love your creamy centers and thanks to you, I have neighbor Christmas gifts checked off of my list.

Dear People Who Aren't My Neighbors,
I'm sorry, you won't be getting homemade, hand-dipped chocolates for Christmas. You should move though, cause they are that good.

Dear Thanksgiving,
Thanks for being one of the best holidays. I love seeing my family, remembering what I'm grateful for, and eating pie.

Powell Family Reunion

Over Labor Day weekend, my family had a reunion at Strawberry Reservoir. We had a great time and I hope the tradition keeps going. We fished, we washer-gamed, we camp-fired, we laughed. A good time was had by all. Here are some pictures.

 The first day we woke up to this beautiful sight.

 Our boat, former owners called it the 'Lady Jane', however the 'J' fell off and it will now be known to all as the 'Lady Ane'

 Probably my favorite picture ever.

 Captain Bill

 My mom - did you know she's caught two fish with one hook?

 Twin cousins! We have the same cheeks, you can be the judge of which set.

 Lexy and I love riding on the front of the boat - you get the best view.

 Sunshine!

 I have like 50 other pictures just like this one - but I'll spare you.

 Artsy thistle shot.

 This picture needs no caption.

Dear AutoCad,
I wish we could be friends. I can draw a line with you, but that's about it. Maybe we should just stay acquaintances?

Dear Logan (the City),
Thanks for having Angie's, fly-fishing, $3 movies, and beautiful skies. I miss you. So does Tom.

Dear Hunger Games,
You are kind of scary, but really fun to read. I'm reading Mocking Jay right now and I'd rather be doing that than working.

Dear Fall,
I smelled you the other day. You smell delicious, like spices. I hope you stick around long enough for me to see lots of coral leaves, drink up some apple cider, bake a couple pies, and buy some unnecessary school supplies. 

Love,
Megs
