Wednesdays are SOO much

I made it through a paper today. And classes. RELIEF!!! I got an A on my Pajama pants and they are cutie. Snow Leopard skirt is next project. 30 Rock is the new Office in our home. Netflix direct to tivo is modern day revelation. Pickles are yummy latley. Spencer helped with the dishes today. I totally nailed the hamburger helper tonight. Delish. I have a funny statue of a couple dancing in my bedroom, my fam thinks it's silly, but my grandpa gave it to me so I LOVE it. I miss my friends not in Utah. I miss my friends that are in Utah. I have an intramural volleyball game tomorrow, cheer for us. I'm playing guitar again. My to do list is getting a little smaller. I'll shut up now.

The Sunday Spill

Today's a good day. I liked it. So SPILL...

-This is what we look like at this exact moment. We're watching Obsessed. It's creepy. We're eating popcorn. It's fun.

-I made cookies tonight. They smell good, but look weird. Then there's the burnt popcorn smell lingering over it...whoops
-I am a wannabe movie buff at the moment, if I had the money I'd be an actual movie buff. So the last 2 movies were on Spencer and my mom's bills. THANKS. I saw FAME and cried and wanted to change my major to music. I saw Whip It and cried and wanted to change my career to roller derbying. So, basically a movie has that big of an effect on me. I LOVE THEM.
-I skype my nieces about twice a week these days and just laugh in awe at how crazy they are. Lindsey is a brave woman.
-I get to watch this boy every week
-Conference was great. This weekend was great. <3GREAT
-I am completely obsessed with Spencer today, as opposed to just normal obsessed every other day.
-Although it's brought the cold, the F A L L brings me WARMTH! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
-This week was a rough one for Spence and I both, but we are both so grateful for our friends and family and loved being with them recently.
-I went to lunch with Sadie B. this week and it was splendid. I love being with that girl. To top it off she fell in a ditch during our goodbye hug and made us both laugh our hearts out. FULL ON FALL....a great visual.
-Shade Clothing had a $5 blow out. I prob hoooked myself up. My two sister's and I now all have the same $10 swimsuit.
-I need to clean the shower.
-I want to read a book.
-I'm going to wear a dress tomorrow---I wish I had a million of them.
-I just ate one of my cookies...yum.
-It was the first time in our year of marriage that we have ever actually baked cookies from the 55 batches of cookie dough that we've made.
-Jillian is my TA in my sewing class. She talks me through my sewing insecurities and then we giggle at everything else.
-I lost my bottom retainer. I can't afford an orthodontist. I think the cleaning people in Vegas vacuumed it up. hmmm...
-My hands smell like burnt popcorn and I keep scratching my nose...eww.
-My back hurts
-I have a test tomorrow and 2 more the rest of the week and papers and BLAH TO SCHOOL!
-Must sleep now

Goodnight Sunday, Goodbye lovely weekend

MY BIG 21!!!

My birthday was ages ago, but since I'm 21...it was a big deal :)
I woke up to Spence telling me that we had to go down to Provo because our storage unit had flooded (we were in SLC at the time). It was not ideal and the first thing I said was something like, "UGHH...gosh". I went upstairs to a delicious breakfast of fruit and my fav cereal from my mother-in-law and then I had to hurry and get dressed no time to get ready so we could solve the flood fiasco. I ranted on our drive about how stupid it was and blah blah blah. When we were driving through Orem I was confused and then, Spence turned into the Mainspring Day Spa parking lot. He tricked me...and I fell for it. Side note-Spence has a hard time ever surprising me, either because he ruins it or I do. So, this was a good one. I had gotten a gift certicficate from Christmas for a massage and facial and never gotten to use it. So he made me and it was a delightful morning.

I had picture of me in my robe with an excited face that I took in the mirror, but I can't find them...I'm sure you can imagine.

Then we drove back up to Salt Lake. I was confused that we didn't hang out or anything, but we had to go run an errand for his mom. We drove dowtown to a the Little America Hotel. I waited in the car while he ran to pick something up...Smooth move Spence, "you're mom needs something" yeah ok. Man I'm a fool...he came back with a room key for us. You see, we had always had this dream of staying at SLC's premiere hotel the Grand America
and this was as close as we could get

It was really cool though, like old and vintagey. The elevator reminded me of Hollywood Tower of TerrorIt had a cool chandelier too

We also have always wanted to go on a vacation where we had no plans and did whatever. Pool, walk down town, you know. oh I rode Trax for the first time...cool. We went to the Gateway and ate and played. There's a Planatarium I've always wanted to go to...so we did...
DreamingI got the whole world in my hands
Me on the Moon
Spence on Mars

They had a Weather Man Station...Spence was a pro


We got room service...we were so excited for this


Another surprise...FIREWORKS...outside our window (awesome view). Compliments of the Salte Lake Bees. Spence has connections I guess :)

Props to Spencer for a thrilling surprise of a birthday. I'm still enjoying it 3 months later!

Continuous Birthday Celebrations

This was the rest of my birthday extravaganza...

Fancy dinner with mine and Spencer's parents at the Blue Boar Inn.



Teppanyaki with the Orr Grandparents--G&GPA got me a salad of cash and Aunt Vickie got me the cash ring....AWESOME


Midway family party with the Wittwer grandparents---SPENCER made me blondies...SPENCER! Delightful!



SO much fun and love. A late thanks to all. Man, I'm just such an adult now...

The Sunday Spill

I believe that over a weeks time, I build up enough randomness to have a "Sunday Spill". Profound, I know. So here goes my first of many....

We lived in the ward we're in now last year, but for some reason few recognize us this year! Sad, I know. So, we've decided that instead of blaming the other people for not being friendly, we should try to step out of our comfort zone for once. So after relief society today I introduced myself to the bishop's wife. Step one complete. Now to try visiting teaching or something. Oh and last year the bishop never said hi to us or knew who we were...our new bishop called me Sister Orr today--it was neat.

I've been on an organizing spree lately. With the new move and the different locations of living over the summer, our stuff is everywhere. Our new apartment is very accommodating for storage, unlike our last one where we had to hide our vacuum by the coat rack and the washer/dryer was next to the fridge. Because of how grateful I am for all the space I'm trying to use it wisely....I've gotten so good had storing things though that I was having a hard time! This weekend I rocked it and am making more progress. When I get started I can't stop so everything we have in storage in Midway was also fingered through. I now have an entire wardrobe to give to D.I. (much of which is from freshman year of high school that for some reason I still have), a box of gadgets and a slew of kitchen stuff. Rachel the rat pack cleaned up and is letting go of all her crap :)

So if you're bored by now...STOP READING. If you care to hear the rest of my spill then here's some more random...

-I like school this semester, a lot actually. I think it might last more than the first month too. I mean, I am all caught up on my readings...when has that EVER happened. I tell you, I do not know. (Even though I'm supposed to be studying right now...)
-I heart skirts right now and I want 1500 so I can wear multiple ones every day.
-I LOVE MY CUTIE MAC...it might be why my life is so much easier this semester...and also why Spence seems to be able to listen to my other complaints.
-We're trying to sell this stuff on Craigslists and...well...we're not. SUCKY. Anyone need a printer or other stuff?
-We made cookie dough this weekend but got real wild and put white chocolate and butterscotch chips....it's all gone now!
-Spence did the dishes the last three times...on his own. Major points
-I miss my nieces-I took a nap today from 5:30-9....awful awful idea. Darn curtains work too well.
-I'm practicing the guitar lately and now my fingers hurt.
-Joshua James has a new CD out and it's awesome. Listen on ITunes...delightful.
-I had food poisoning last weekend...I don't even want to think about it it was so depressing
-This picture is cute
-Um....I think I'm all spilled out.
-I just spilled my water on the floor....coincidence.

Now that I made it this far, for your sake....picture post is next.

Here's to Health

I am a bucket of illness during the fall/winter.
So, I got a flu shot today.
I was scared.
The lady chatted me through it.
I was excited to not be sick for once.
I now have flu injected in my body
AND I FEEL IT.

Sucky flu shots started my first illness thus far...
UGH,,,,so much for prevention.

Cute new apartment
Decent class schedule
Darling baby to watch as a job
Bucket of chicken for dinner
Comfy couch
