What makes this girl smile?...

I love Randy.

Cute Candy Jar!

I got the idea for this CUTE Candy Jar from Bunch of Craft and her red Christmas jar.  She got the idea from A Pumpkin and a Princess with her black Halloween one.  I really loved both!  I decided that all the jar needed was some colorful candy and a cute ribbon to make it holiday looking - so I decided to make a black one and a white one and just change the ribbon and candy to match whatever holiday it is.  I decided to use my white one for Easter.  I LOVE IT!  This candy jar was so cheap and easy to make!  For directions, visit A Pumpkin and a Princess for her run down of it.  Make sure you follow both blogs for some awesome craft ideas!

NEW Katy Perry E.T. Video!

This video just came out today, and I LOVE IT.  I've had this song stuck in my head for a while and it gives me chills.  I'm hoping to attend her concert on July 25th. AHHHH I love this girl.

Lashes for your car? Who woulda thought!

This is no joke, and you better believe I invested in them.  CarLashes is in Park City, UT, and after I saw them on facebook I HAD to have them.    I've had them sitting on my counter for a while waiting for the weather to warm up so I could put them on.  FINALLY the weather decided to be my friend!!

Here are some pictures of the finished product on SUNKISD.

Good advertisement?  Thats my excuse.

I also added a car decal so people would be a little more understanding. ;)

HONK IF YOU SEE ME!

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna!

This weekend, Randy and I went to the Color Festival!  We went last year for the first time, and Randy absolutely LOVES it.  It's kinda cute how he gets so into it.  This time we got some Indian food and walked inside and around the temple to get a better feel for it.  The food looked really gross, but it was surprisingly very good!

I did get a huge chunk of eyelashes ripped out in the mosh pit.  A guy was crowd surfing, and me being my short little self didn't see him coming and I got kicked right in the eye.  I don't do well in mosh pits because of my shortness; I suffocate, cant see anything, and my nose is right at armpit level with everyone.  I decided moshing is not meant for a little person like me, and I probably wont ever do it again.  

 We also were right in the middle of the moshpit when they did the color throw, it was amazing!  The colors totally blocked out the sun and all you could see was a big cloud of purplish/brown.  Then we had to put our shirts over our nose cause you couldn't breathe!  It was pretty intense.  All in all it was very fun!  I'm sure this is going to be a yearly tradition for us. It was definitely a better year than last!  We loved it!

Shedding

We knew it was going to happen, but we didn't know it was going to be this much!  Randy and I brushed Kaia for an hour or two the other day and got a lot of her undercoat out, but she's still shedding like a mad woman.

 

We could've made a fur coat out of it!

"Patience is a V... acation!!!"

Most of the time I would consider my impatient-ness a very bad flaw... but there is some good that comes from it! (If you can believe that.)  I get very impatient when I know a good vacation is coming up soon, and because of this - I always plan ahead.   

When Randy and I got engaged, the very first thing I planned was our honeymoon; and I did ask Randy here and there what he wanted to do, but I definitely only allowed myself to plan it.  Vacations are GREAT.  I love that I can get away for a little while, escape reality, and be able to experience a whole different world.  There is nothing that I prepare for more than vacations.  When I plan vacations, I usually plan big.  I figure you might as well go all out or its just not worth it! ;) (I still like little simple, spontaneous weekend getaways.)  I love to travel, and I feel like its really important to get away every 3 or so months and take a break from everyday life.  Randy loves to travel as well, so it works out perfectly!

 

We decided to wait on having kids for a few years so we can travel together and spend as much time as a married couple as possible.  I decided this year is going to be one of our GO ALL OUT years.  I am going to keep posted on my blog of all the fun adventures we have coming up this year!

A new tradition I inherited from marrying into the Jepperson family is Easter Camping!  I went last year, and it was definitely a vacation that wont be soon forgotten.  That tradition holds a special place in my heart because Randy proposed to me there in front of his whole family.  I have been looking forward to this trip for months, and now I'm only a month away!!  To prepare a little for this trip, we purchased some guns.  Randy got an old WW2 Russian gun and I got a pink Red Ryder BB gun.  I am so excited to take it out there!

 

I know Randy and I will be spending a lot of time in Provo Canyon this summer, and I would definitely consider it a summer long vacation.  We'll be doing a lot of longboarding and tubing down the river.  Now if only this weather would warm up a little more we could get started!!

Randy's best friend Cale and I have our birthdays one day apart - July 12th and July 13th.  Since I'm turning 21, I thought it would only be appropriate to spend it in Vegas!  Cale and I decided we would have a combined birthday there on the weekend of our birthdays - July 15-17.  I'm DEFINITELY excited for that little weekend getaway!

I already booked another cruise for our Anniversary at the end of August, as if our honeymoon cruise just wasn't enough!  We knew we had to do that again.  To prepare for this trip, me and Randy have been religiously working out everyday and trying to eat fairly healthy.  So far we've loved it and feel so great, and we aren't going to give up!  Its hard not to gain a couple-few pounds on a cruise, so we're trying to prepare for that.  This time around we are going to MEXICO!  It's a 7 day cruise, and stops at Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas.  We want to rent ATV's and go snorkeling for excursions.  I cannot even contain myself, I'm so excited!!

 

Last year, Randy and I went on a VERY fun trip to Lake Powell during his birthday with his work.  We spent the week on a houseboat, played around on jetski's and boats, canoed and fished.  It was a great relaxing week and we knew that we were for sure going to add that to our list of yearly getaways.  I haven't heard anything about it for this year, so hopefully they do it again and we wont hesitate to be there!  That's another one I'm very much looking forward to in the fall, so I'm crossing my fingers it happens again! :)

I'm so excited and IMPATIENT for whats in store for us this year.  And I'm excited to be able to blog about all of our adventures!
