No more studying... For now!:)

Tyler took his DAT (test to apply for dental schools) and he did really well!! We were so happy about that because he has been studying non stop for the past 6-7 weeks and we're SO over it!!! YAY for no more studying until he actually starts dental school:) ha but to celebrate we went to a yummy place called lonestar steakhouse and then walked around some stores. It was a good time!..

Last night we went on a date night with our friends out here... We all went to the Raleigh temple for a temple session and then went out to yummy Kilwins for ice cream!! I seriously could live off of that stuff:) the temple here is really pretty but it's super small!!! I think it's the smallest LDS temple. Still beautiful, of course!

We had to run some errands at Walmart after and I decided to check my blood pressure and heart rate on the machine to see how healthy I am!. Ha I think I may live till im 100... NOOO!!!

I haven't been super adventurous with new meals this past week, but I did make yummy tomato basil parmesan soup, which is one of mine and Ty's favorites:) 

Life is perfect right now and we are loving where we are at!! I hope you have a fabulous Sunday!:)

Painting class!!

Last night the Moxie wives did a group painting class at a place here in Raleigh called Artistic Abandon... It was so much fun!! We start out with just a blank white canvas and the teacher teaches us all how to do a painting!

This last picture is my painting, I was so proud of myself!:) ha

Last week my little niece, Navy, got blessed... We weren't able to be there, but we got pics of her and she is too stinking cute!! And then we were able to face time w navy, zoee, and Mindee!! It was so fun to see and talk w them:)

Last weekend we went on a date night with some of our good friends to the yummiest ice cream/fudge/chocolate shop ever!! It's called kilwins and it is seriously amazing:) we also went to five guys and Ty loved it!

And last but not least... I have tried making more yummy meals lately and some of my top faves have been the following: 

Chicken Alfredo Pita Pizza

Cheesy spaghetti squash

Stuffed Zucchini

Life is going great and I love North Carolina:) if anyone wants to visit me I would love the company!! Have a great day!

Fourth of July Excitement!! :)

We had a great day on the Fourth of July celebrating our independence!!:) to start it out, we slept in a little (which for me means sleeping till 730-8 if I'm lucky)! Ha then I went and laid out by the pool for a bit, which is always amazing!..

That afternoon we went to a park with a bunch of friends for a BBQ and played games there like beach volleyball, basketball, etc. And there was even an ice cream van that came during our picnic like the little ice cream trucks that we used to get all excited about as a kid!:) Ty was pretty excited still!!

That night we went to downtown Raleigh for a firework show w some friends and it was so fun! We had glow in the dark glasses too... How neat is that?!:) ha

And the best part of the whole day was face timing as my brother got home from his mission!! He was supposed to get home on the 3rd of July, but his flight was delayed and he didn't get home till the 4th! Of course I would have loved to be there when he got home and I still haven't seen him, but it was awesome that I was at the airport via FaceTime and I have gotten to talk to him on the phone and texting! He is doing so good and looks so great! 

This last pic is the day after he got home and he was eating yummy harper's homemade bread after two years of not havin it! He also loved having milk again:)

Anyways... Life has been great and our 4th of July was wonderful:) I'm excited for this week to have more fun!!! Have a great week...

Girls night out!!

This past week was great! On Tuesday night all of the girls that work in the office at moxie went out to dinner together and it was really fun to be with them all outside of work:) the food was yummy too!! I got a virgin mango margarita, chicken taco salad, and then some of the girls got fried cheesecake!! Yum:)

In 2 weeks we are having a girls night and were going to a painting class and painting a picture! They say its fool proof and that everyone will be able to make their pic look like the one that we chose... I'm excited, it'll be way fun! This is the picture we are going to paint and once I paint mine ill post my very own painting:)

I am still loving North Carolina and don't think I'm gonna ever want to go back to Idaho! The good thing there is my amazing family that I miss lots and lots:) my brother Andy gets home from his mission on Wednesday morning and I won't get to be there, but I'm gonna be face timing as he gets off the plane and everything so I'm excited! I can't believe it's been two years... Time sure does fly! Anyways I hope you enjoy you Sunday:)

Mini golf and yummy food!:)

Last night we went out on a date night with a bunch of our friends to a place called Frankie's. It was a lot of fun. There was a lot to do there like go carting, mini golf, small roller coaster things, arcade games, laser tag, etc. We did mini golfing and it was a blast!! Here are some pics from last night....

Also.... My new friend out here is The Recipe Critic, Alyssa, and she has motivated me to start making yummy meals because she is always making way yummy things! So I have started to try to cook different things than what I am used to and so far most of it has been a success! 

Quinoa Pilaf Salad

Parmesan Chicken Manicotti

And I also made chicken cordon bleu soup the other day and it was SO SO good... I highly recommend it:) but there are a lot more recipes to come that I wanna try out:) so hopefully I will start doing some recipe/how to blogs... We will see though:) ha

I hope you have a great Sunday night and a wonderful week!

My family. Husband, his family, and mine! I could not live without my Tyler, I hate when I don't get to see him for even just one day! He completes me, and I have never loved anyone so much!!

M: Music?

Not country. PLEASE. Husband loves it and I very much don't love it. So it causes fights:)

I do, however, like pretty much all other types of music.

N:  Number of siblings?

Lots. 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 3 step-brothers, 2 step-sisters. 5 brother in laws, 3 sister in laws. Love having a huge family!! It makes everything more fun, and I love all of them so much!

Tough call. If it's plain, oranges. If I get to add caramel or peanut butter, apples.

Snakes. Gross slithery reptiles. I hate them so much and never want to see another one again! If I would have created the world, I would have left snakes out.

Q:  Favorite quote?

*You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world... And there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.

*Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life... Love gives you a fairy tale.

What vegetable don't I love?.. Seriously, veggies are all so yummy! I'd say my favorite is corn on the cob, and peppers.

W:  Worst habit?

It used to be biting my finger nails. Until I broke my front tooth 2 different times doing it. After spending plenty of time and money at the dentist, and embarrassing myself with a broken front tooth, I no longer bite my nails!

X:  Xrays you've had?

Fingers, Toes, Ribs, Teeth. Pretty much have broken all of those things too, except ribs! 

Y: Youth- In what ways are you still a kid at heart?

Roller coasters, amusement parks, go carts, etc. I love it all. And I don't even care if I get hurt, as long as it was worth it on a fun ride. I love that thrill!! Oh and I love cotton candy, and candy in general.

Z:  Zodiac?

Aquarius. Which after reading about means that I am a mysterious and unusual person. That about sums me up. Go zodiac signs!! ha

Have a great night!
