New blog design

I would really like a new blog design, but am really not tech savvy. If anyone wants to explain how I would appreciate it!:)

Here are a few wedding pictures that my friend's mom took! We should be getting the rest back shortly..

 Both sets of our parents

 My lovely parents

 Cake that we never got to eat

Slow dancing:) Wasn't a fan of people watching so glad it only happens once, but I loved it!

Going...going....gone...

That is my summer in a nutshell. It will have came and gone all before me and the hubs had a chance to soak it in. I atleast get to see some daylight from my cubicle and am often off work in time to sit in the rays, but the poor mr. is always working. So. I am thinking of a way that we will be able to just take off somewhere warm for a couple days. I am leaning towards vegas. I turn the big 21 in a couple weeks and am just dyin to finally go see thunder down under. Joking. But knowing the opportunity is available to me tickles me. Love it. So vegas????? Shopping... sun... pool....Yes:)

We have been staying up superrrr late because nights seem to be the only time we get to just relax with each other so mornings are becoming that much harder for me. Never will be a morning person. I try but fail 99% of the time. Sooooo... I decided to set some goals that include waking up at least 3 days a week before 8:30.

Goals:
1. Pass my summer classes with good grades (a b+ of better)
2. Cook dinner more than once a week
3. Try a new recipe once a week
4. Keep in touch with all of my girl friends. Seriously. Girls nights are still needed even after marriage.
5. Plan random little things to surprise the hubs and remind him how much I appreciate everything he does
6. Start volunteering somewhere to help others
7. Improve my golf swing (which right now is starting from scratch. Getting the ball in the air would be a more realistic goal)
8. Get more hours at work
9. Go to Seven Peaks at least once
10. Develop a tan instead or repetitive burning
and...... Keep reminding myself how lucky I am to have all of the things I do:)

Wonderful week ahead:)

Garage Saling!

Yep. Not sure its a word, but it just became one. Garage Saling. This summer I will be going out saturday mornings and looking for anything that I could possibly redo into something miraculous. Even if I just start a collection now and do the renovations later... well its a start. For example:





Pillows. I want super cute pillows in our place. I love them! Birthday is just around the corner and they are definately near the top of my list.

Love

Favorite quote of they day. "If I didn't love him. I'd hate him"

Love this because Kris will say something that just drives me through the roof, but then about five minutes later I will look up and see him doing the dishes or he'll grab me and wrap me up in his arms, take me on a drive to nowhere just to be together, grab my hand randomly, or just say I love you out of nowhere. So if I didn't have so many reasons to love the boy, I would probably dislike him. Married life is going great. Keeping busy with school and work and spending any free time I get with the Mr. He has been super busy with work. Another thing to add to the list of reasons why I love him. He is the hardest worker I know. By far. Last week he worked on an infomercial with his friend Russel. He LOVED it. Who knows? Maybe one day my superstar will be doing that for his job. Over the weekend we went camping and needless to say it was very different from my "normal" camping. The rents have always had a camper or a trailer so my camping consists of watching a dvd before bed and popping popcorn. This camping was very much different as we slept on gravel. I did love sleeping next to my love listening to nature and roasting smores. All of the legit camping spots were taken so we improvised and turned a gravel patch with a fire pit into our own:) By far better than the real ones! This week we are both finalizing our fall schedules. We will both be very very busy which is okay. I keep reminding myself all of our hardwork will pay off:) So keep the busy, long, boring, hard days coming!

Apartment.
This is a weekly debate at home. I am having such a hard time not being able to decorate it just how I want and do everything, but I am slowly adapting to Kris's philosophy. It is temporary so there is not point in spending a lot of money on it when we can use it for other things at the time being. So I just have to keep reminding myself that one day I will have my home with painted walls and hanging decorations everywhere, a big big clock, a fancy mirror, and last but not least. A happy laundary room. I feel like launday is an awful but necessary chore. It is worse when you are cramped in a small space and that room is dark and just blah. So when I am doing laundary in the future for my hubs and future kidlits I will be doing it in a large, open, bright, designed laudary room:) I realize that I could fill our empty walls with some things if I get crafty. 1st problem. I am not very crafty. 2nd problem. Every time I get an idea I slowly realize that my time gets taken over with school. 3rd problem. I would so much rather spend what little time me and kris have alone not doing crafts, but just simply being with him. So another in the future goal: put all the craft ideas I find on the internet to real life in my own living space.

Happy Tuesday and I really will try to post pics asap of the honeymoon ! Also, we got our wedding pics back and can't wait to look at them:)

Marriage Update

It has been four days of being married. This is my update:

I smile every time I see the ring on his finger because I know he is all mine and for forever :)
I am always cold and he is the perfect heater
Baths. Best natural stress reliever.
He tears the sheets off the bed. All while he is asleep.
Grocery shopping. He's a sucker for deals and I am a sucker for the brand names.
We sometimes wake up holding hands .
A kiss in the morning from your best friend may be the best way to start the day.
Sitting on the floor when you don't have a couch is actually fun.
I get the butterflies when he refers to me as his wife.
Coming home after work has a whole new meaning.
Cooking is easy because my man is way too sweet to ever complain.

Love
Mrs. Kristoffer Anderson

Family Reunion

We have not seen my sister in over a year. She and her husband live in germany and have had to wait on the government to get an airplane ticket home for the wedding. Well... she got it and will be here in one week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO excited! It will be the first time Kris and her will meet:) We are two weeks away and life just keeps getting busier. A good busy though. I have now decided that I despise picture taking. Some people live for the camera and getting all dolled up. I am not that person. I prefer my jeans and a t shirt and little to no makeup. Definately was not the case for my bridals. Our photographer is amazing, but I just felt like a pageant queen. No bueno. Oh well. My second shower is tonight and am so excited to see old neighbors. The family shower went wonderful and we got a lot of kitchen supplies.... Crock pot, cookies sheets, an iron, a blender, food, gift cards... and much more!:)

Mother nature may or may not be on drugs... just sayin. I don't know anywhere else where it goes from sunny and 70 degrees to storms left and right and snow storm. Oh well. I will embrace the snow and take it as that much longer I can cuddle up by the fire!

*Life*

I am not sure anybody even reads this, but thats okay:) It's a good place to vent. I am starting to get the picture that life never slows down. I keep asking myself when will I have time like I did when I was younger to just go outside and soak in the weather (not currently because utah loves the snow. even when its supposed to be spring), hang out with friends whenever, take random shopping sprees and not worry about bills, plan vacations and just take off, and..... SLEEP IN. I think about summer and think how it's just going to be as busy as the fall or spring. Same routine. School and work. I realize now though that even though I will be on the go and have sleepless  nights and early mornings.. its okay:) I get to be on the go and have sleepless nights and early mornings all with my best friend by my side! Moving on...

Apartment. We finally found our apartment! I don't think I have ever been so excited! It is such a relief to know that we can stay in south jordan by our family and friends. The carpet is teal... eek. I have already decided that our apartment for the first while will be like a rainbow because we will have all sorts of colors throughout, but rainbows always make me smile so if I smile every time I walk in the door I will be A okay with it:) We have been furniture shopping and all of that jazz. I never knew how expensive things were, but luckily we were able to get everything we need. I will post pics of the new place as soon as I can.

Honeymoon.
No words can explain how excited I am for our honeymoon! My sweet sweet husband-to-be gave in and agreed to go to Harry Potter world for a day in orlando! What a gem. I can NOT wait to go be a nerd for a day. At the top I talked about being a kid again and for that whole day I will be going crazy like a kid. I plan on drinking butterbeer, playing quidditch on the ride, and definately purcahsing a wand! Yep. Love it. Love the books even though once the pages hit over a 1000 I gave up and turned to the movies. I blame my generation but oh well. Got the job done nicely:) ALso, we will be going on a cruise to the bahamas. I got very spoiled!



Crafts

I have found a new passion for crafts. Finding the time is a struggle and also the skills. Up to the point in my life I have never been crafts. I loved glue when I was a todler and playing with it, but as far as being productive with it. Never my thing. Now I am finding such cute things on etsy that I love and want to lean how to make ! Flowers are the first thing. So many of my friends make the cutest flowers and these are essential due to the fact that the pillows I want that have these flowers run about 50 bucks. Not happening. So I am dedicating a night each week or two to crafts. It will be nice and relaxing and something fun for me to do! My last little project didn't quite work out (look like the picture) so unfortunately I will be trying that one again. With some time and practice I will be cruisin.

Have a happy weekend! I will try to post some pics next time:)
