Domesticated

This summer I set a goal to become domestic.

Nicole and I took a cake decorating class.
This lead to my obsession with making cupcakes.
I learned how to make bread from scratch. Feeling ambitious, I made cinnamon rolls, cinnamon swirl bread, and a braided bread loaf. Final verdict: Delicious, but too much work. Buy it.
A sweet couple at Bed, Bath, and Beyond showed me how to tie a pretty bow. If you get married, there is a very good chance you'll receive this wrapping.
In true Utah fashion, I used a Cricut to cut out an awesome quote and make a magnetic board. I can't wait to hang it in my new room!
To brush up on my sewing skills, I sewed 10 bean bags for my class. I severely underestimated how long this project would take but I was pleased with the results.
I started this quilt in November and finally finished it with the help of a friend from work and my mom. Confession, I HATED quilting and don't intend to do it ever again.
My painting skills left something to be desired but I spent a couple hours working on a Paint By Numbers masterpiece. My next project is learning how to crochet.

Oh Oh Oh I Wanna Go Crazy

Becca and I had the privilege of seeing Tim McGraw in concert.
Not only is he insanely talented,
but he is absolutely gorgeous.

Good Times

Vanessa left on a mission.
I'm so sad to see her go!
Stephanie and I went to lunch. Our chats make me happy!
I cut off 7-8 inches of hair and only four people noticed. Clearly I spend too much time concerned with my appearance.
