<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> This smaller one I made today- simple but cute. Double sided with boxed corners. I like it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO76366XdZDDqV51YhF0VJqz6Hft7s7ch6v3bxRaJ998BdFYzARMh01NMQtJHMzITIXJYYV4EZfxhEqUbukltMk9WsUsSSHdyBHbbebufVYWc_IL2Wgl4OUC6GzNYq9me6fALDVzDP4-I/s1600/IMG_6790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO76366XdZDDqV51YhF0VJqz6Hft7s7ch6v3bxRaJ998BdFYzARMh01NMQtJHMzITIXJYYV4EZfxhEqUbukltMk9WsUsSSHdyBHbbebufVYWc_IL2Wgl4OUC6GzNYq9me6fALDVzDP4-I/s320/IMG_6790.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made this one a few weeks ago. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This Union Jack symbol took me forever to make,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">with cutting each individual stripe and sewing it on separately...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Worth it though- it's freaking adorable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAfg1QNMuyL2AgnEsHMT1pb4eGZUzaue0wp6xFx9PpRuHPW5p1lAUP5vzwrB2oF2UNZsMqB56iAlGHjFZDgmO7NX07ljzn-ZdJYZ3zxWjdia8c-jzVQFMU7n0GSM345Szto-unhsrJ47E/s1600/IMG_6711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAfg1QNMuyL2AgnEsHMT1pb4eGZUzaue0wp6xFx9PpRuHPW5p1lAUP5vzwrB2oF2UNZsMqB56iAlGHjFZDgmO7NX07ljzn-ZdJYZ3zxWjdia8c-jzVQFMU7n0GSM345Szto-unhsrJ47E/s320/IMG_6711.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The sewing machine has also been dished out for a few alterations. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Below is the first patch I've ever put on jeans- it was harder than I expected- it's difficult to maneuver skinny jeans around the free arm of a sewing machine... </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidqGpuL4tNzqfZ4lNJof3ccyiBDMOgL5WXjEzpl1CC1uRJ0u8PEn2gwbMvj7kPzIXGvt8j_vbzhBqrZgCn9YNOrqcWczjmatIKTbTWWFLS-y2eFsjU_D9xbRY22Y1MbxzV9WQTIxaJICk/s1600/IMG_6789.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidqGpuL4tNzqfZ4lNJof3ccyiBDMOgL5WXjEzpl1CC1uRJ0u8PEn2gwbMvj7kPzIXGvt8j_vbzhBqrZgCn9YNOrqcWczjmatIKTbTWWFLS-y2eFsjU_D9xbRY22Y1MbxzV9WQTIxaJICk/s320/IMG_6789.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I like the results though. A little rough, but that's ok.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've also turned a pair of bell bottom jeans that were 2 sizes too big for me into really cute skinny jeans that fit me perfectly. There's something to be said about being able to customize your pants directly to your legs. I love them. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I also tried to sew shut a hole in Denver's shorts he tore yesterday... They didn't turn out as well, but he didn't even give me the chance to turn them right side out and look at it before he had them back on, so I guess it'll work.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That's most of my crafting as of late. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm digging into the garden and so excited to get some new plants in the ground!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yay!</div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-56523132094093569362012-02-16T14:36:00.000-08:002012-02-16T14:38:10.553-08:00Throw PillowsWowza, it's been a while again...<br />
Not going to lie- I'm mostly posting this blog so that I can pin my picture from it onto Pinterest. :)<br />
<br />
I just made this pillow today:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1okDu4ZVys9hTB0bEdGOKKAF_CMTktLBP0ItcYL1OJ8ieucxtq73PhWR2dOOof9N3mAEhuce_BnKfIkZkbQg77Ws8iJsf_Domca4_wQTFoyohv4oA5TfTNrbQ2JUMzWfUQr7c3IBomwg/s1600/pillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1okDu4ZVys9hTB0bEdGOKKAF_CMTktLBP0ItcYL1OJ8ieucxtq73PhWR2dOOof9N3mAEhuce_BnKfIkZkbQg77Ws8iJsf_Domca4_wQTFoyohv4oA5TfTNrbQ2JUMzWfUQr7c3IBomwg/s320/pillow.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>It's been in the works for quite some time now- a vision in my head to executed very quickly once I finally got the required tools. I'd gotten the craft idea off pinterest and was wondering what to write when I heard Bob Marley's "Get Up Stand Up" on the radio on my way home from work- it hit me as the perfect quote for it. That is one of my 2 favorite songs growing up, so it wasn't a difficult choice.<br />
<br />
I wrote all of the text myself with a fabric permanent pen and a stencil for the letters.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhulDQ7H9TTrFsvS9Ae4n4F_cWL1dQBPmNjaurx0p1aYx44cnU-LaJBwVolUUMsTjjW9ezEV5JcL-koq2Ywz9RdR23r4o_PegPGqLtR5c5Ajey2kRonzPw2YLnNR7fKcIl4TnQXgG_kI20/s1600/IMG_6534.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhulDQ7H9TTrFsvS9Ae4n4F_cWL1dQBPmNjaurx0p1aYx44cnU-LaJBwVolUUMsTjjW9ezEV5JcL-koq2Ywz9RdR23r4o_PegPGqLtR5c5Ajey2kRonzPw2YLnNR7fKcIl4TnQXgG_kI20/s320/IMG_6534.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>It took quite a while to draw it all on there... And I am ASTONISHED I finished it without skipping a letter or entire word or something. So I'm pretty proud. :)<br />
<br />
This is only the first of many pillows I plan on making. Some others will have a union jack symbol, a patchwork heart, owl or two, and maybe some initials for D & I.<br />
<br />
I'll post more when they're being made. :)Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-22667496371677095392011-12-09T12:56:00.000-08:002011-12-09T12:56:46.491-08:00Christmas 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE3lSVj3cZj88BACeTSR5OU0aHpnVcseTQjBQzqsM5azzxQa-mt_mF1ujHjwI1wx-DgqhlF00yJhPzP2NT9fxMovJltVc9oRihHgGA7zgGnj79t0OAgmtX5n2jGKKvcaSccY9IlpFigXE/s1600/stockings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE3lSVj3cZj88BACeTSR5OU0aHpnVcseTQjBQzqsM5azzxQa-mt_mF1ujHjwI1wx-DgqhlF00yJhPzP2NT9fxMovJltVc9oRihHgGA7zgGnj79t0OAgmtX5n2jGKKvcaSccY9IlpFigXE/s320/stockings.jpg" width="232" /></a></div>So this is the first year since moving out that I've had a mantle above a fireplace to hang stocking on, and I love it.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">It's kinda ghetto, but I'm okay with that. AND it was free.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, almost. I did pay with a little blood.</div><div style="text-align: center;">At one point while trying to bend one of the pieces it slipped and the freshly cut wire sliced pretty deep into my left pointer finger.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But who uses that finger anyways?</div><div style="text-align: center;">WORTH IT.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
How many times am I going to start each post with admitting I suck at posting until I improve and start blogging the way I want to- <a href="http://britneymlae.blogspot.com/">like this chick</a>, or until I just flat out give up? I hope I evolve into the prior. I don't want to give up. I'm just lazy.<br />
<br />
Anywho- we are entering my most favorite time of the year.<br />
FALL.<br />
Some well deserved crisp, refreshing air.<br />
Beautiful colors everywhere.<br />
The instinct to curl up by a fire with Loverboy with a yummy hot beverage under a cozy blanket on the couch with the window cracked just wide enough to offer a reminder as to why you're inside rather than out.<br />
mmm.<br />
Not to mention the freaking clothing...<br />
THE CLOTHING. It's killing me. This is the time of year I always wish I was rich. I want multiple closets devoted solely to jackets and leggings and scarves and hats and boots and gloves and everything fall. I know it's materialistic and I have plenty of these things (according to Loverboy)- but I'm always falling in love with new items. Not even so much the item itself, but the feeling and sensation the image offers. I mean- I look at these and picture myself in them having the coziest (while still sexiest) time of my life. And I want it. Don't you?<br />
<a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265602837726&c=Page&cid=1314948001863&pagename=vsdWrapper">comfy tunic with hot yet cozy leggings</a><br />
<a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265602407249&c=Page&cid=1314947992642&pagename=vsdWrapper">bad ass yet comfy sweater</a><br />
<a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265602449124&c=Page&cid=1314947992642&pagename=vsdWrapper">super hot yet cozy sweater dress thing</a><br />

<a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265602521253&c=Page&cid=1314948166977&pagename=vsdWrapper">and pretty much the one outfit I'd wear out the most if I had it.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Ugh... I daydream a lot, if you can't tell.<br />
ALRIGHTY. Moving on.<br />
It's time for Halloween prep, and if you know me at all, you know I love this holiday.<br />
I was going to throw a party at our place, but it's not the most accommodating, so it's now being thrown at a friend's much cooler pad. (Cooler in that it's cool while still accommodating- my pad's rad- alright? Just not very big...) I'm super stoked for this event. Costume contest, games, drinks, friends, music- it best be epic, cuz I already have some pretty high expectations.<br />
<br />
Next Saturday I'm "running" a 5k with my sis and nephew as zombies. I pretty much paid the cash to dress up as a zombie. It sounded like fun. Anyone who might be interested in the zombie factor as well can just show up at the Utah State Fair Park at 1pm next Saturday, the 15'th, for free. Salt Lake's trying to break the world record of number of zombies in one place- <a href="http://undeadrace.com/guinness%26nbsp%3b">so join in!</a><br />

I should probably post some vaca pics.... I'll contemplate doing that later. For now they're on FB.<br />
<br />
As for life right now- today's the first day of school at SLCC. D has 2 classes on M/W/F and I have 2 classes on T/R. Our schedule's suck, but we gotta get some schooling in.<br />
He'll be going straight from school to work, so we're basically not going to see each other monday-friday...<br />
I was pretty depressed when he left this morning knowing our mornings together are history until end of semester.<br />
Hopefully this will motivate me to do more on the days he's gone, like grocery shop, clean, find recipes n junk. Might as well grow form the alone time. We'll see what happens.<br />
<br />
Till next time,<br />
Much love.Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-57985376580094310992011-06-05T10:29:00.000-07:002011-06-05T10:31:29.145-07:00Yeah, I'm becoming a domestic divaOkay, well I'm trying to at least...<br />
I still need to learn how to cook, but I'm getting there. I drool over recipes in Better Homes and Gardens and while watching Barefoot Contessa everyday, so I think the motivation is coming, slowly but surely.<br />

Moving into a larger space has opened lots of opportunity to decorate. I have so many plans in my head, but they all require too much money to be spent to do it all at once, which is really frustrating me...<br />
Again, I'm getting there...<br />
<br />
So far, a few of my favorite latest investments have been theses chairs and the beach umbrella.<br />

I made some decorative floral junk to put on my kitchen cabinets (with my ma's help picking out the flowers). Does having silk flowers in my home make me old? I feel like it does... I've always felt like silk flowers were a cop out, and now they're in my kitchen... Not sure if I'm loving it or not.. We'll see.<br />

I guess not having a desk job does that to me.<br />
<br />
Serving at Mimi's has definitely been a new change of pace for me. I like to have a plan and know what to expect in almost every aspect of my life- so in turn I do not love not knowing what I'll make in tips one week compared to the next. That's taking some getting used to, but I have to just take the bad days with the good. Everything has a way of balancing out in the end.<br />
<br />
Our lease at our current apartment is up this month, so we're trying to find a home to rent by May 1st. It's a bit of a daunting task. We want something cosy, reliable, and has a backyard for a decent price. Preferably in or close to Murray, as well. If anyone knows of something that may work, let me know!<br />
<br />
April 10th was mine and Denver's three year anniversary. :) It was a great day. We went for a yummy breakfast at Mimi's, then took the mutt to a marsh of a field to play some very muddy fetch. For dinner we went to a brewery called The Bohemian. They have some very unique and tasty dishes, so despite the semi steep prices, it's worth the experience! Check it out. WE had a great time. The next morning we went for coffee at The Greenhouse Effect and played a card game of true/false questions. I guessed nearly all of them right and Denver guessed nearly all of them wrong. He grew quite frustrated very quickly. I've always been a good guesser, though.<br />
<br />
Other than that, all in life is swell. We're getting a decent tax return back, so we're debating on whether to put it towards:<br />
-a deposit on the home we hopefully find for next month<br />
-a down payment on a car for yours truly. My '94 Sentra's not going to last me too much longer..<br />
-save it for my upcoming tuition costs for school next semseter..<br />
<br />
So many possibilities. I just wish my tax return was enough for it all.<br />
<br />
I have quite the container garden on my patio right now consisting of a variety of exotic flowers, radishes, lavender and basil. More to come soon once the farmer's market kicks back into gear. I have 10 potted plants thriving right now with 4 more pots to use and plenty more space for new ones after that. :) I can't wait until I have my own home to garden like crazy in.<br />
<br />
Anywho.<br />
There's a minor summary of life as of late.<br />
I obviously haven't been in too much of a mood to write, lately.<br />
My apologies.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is enjoying Spring as much as I am.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">So, I’m pretty much ridiculous. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Today I had orientation for my new job at Mimi’s. First of all- I was so nervous that I was mentally and physically preparing all morning when it didn’t start until 3pm. I watched a good many episodes of Grey’s Anatomy to distract myself in the meantime (Season 5 finale is a massive tearjerker no matter the number of times you’ve seen it..).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time I anxiously left I wondered if I’d been told 3 or 3:30, and assumed better safe than sorry (twas too embarrassed to just call and ask…). Of course once the manager greeted me she informed me I was 40 minutes early. Typical Carrie.. We eventually went back to a vacant table where she gave me a brief history of the company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This drove me a little crazy seeing as I’d already researched all of this and would have preferred to be able to relay it to her and show off my wit and determination- but oh well. I sat there and pretended I was hearing most of it for the first time, which is typically a very hard thing for me to do. I’m very stubborn, you see. Anywho. Kiera, the manager, continued to go over the employee handbook and expectations and what not. It was all very routine and non-intimidating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You would think I’d be calm and content, having already landed the job and am only familiarizing myself with it now. Nope. My jaw’s ten times worse now than it was before the 40-minute meeting. When I’m crazy stupid nervous my jaw locks up. I don’t know if I clench my teeth or what, but it’s horrible. I don’t understand at all why I was so nervous during this silly meeting. My hands were sweating profusely- my lip started to twitch- and I have this awful urge to tear up when I’m nervous and the only thing I’ve found that helps is drinking water-more of a distraction- in the midst of it. Thank God they’d provided me with a glass of water before we started.. If only it’d been a mimosa or something containing alcohol- maybe I would have come off as less of a freak. I’m extremely curious to know what their impressions were of me..<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sell myself short when it comes to first impressions. I’m always too nervous to possibly make it good..</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I got to meet McKay- my trainer-to-be. (I have no idea if that’s how it’s spelled.) He seems really cool. I’m excited to train with him. He’s a robust and obviously flamboyant character and claims he has more regulars than anyone else there, so I hope I’m in good hands. I made it painfully clear to him that I’ll be more fun to hang around with when I freaking relax the new job nerves. Not sure if that did more harm than good..</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">All in all- I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">really</i> need this job. I need to learn to relax and how to think on my feet. I need to gain more confidence in myself and my abilities. I know they’re profound- exquisite even- yeah- I said exquisite- but I need to learn how to show that off on command- not solely once I’m comfortable in a situation. I think this job is going to teach me a lot- and even though I’m betting that I’ll cry in my first week of serving, I can’t wait for the opportunity to better myself in so many ways that an office job cannot.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Screw Marquette- these people seem awesome and I cannot wait to start.</div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s a good sign when I don’t care that I’ll be working Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.</div><!--EndFragment-->Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-41111546897947127752011-02-27T13:14:00.000-08:002011-03-01T16:04:29.576-08:00New JobElloh Ladies and Gents.<br />
I may have left you in the dark with my last post. I would rather not go into detail, so in short, I was laid off from my last job. It was completely tactless, out of the blue, and unjust, but such is life. All I could do was move on.<br />
I applied for a wide variety of jobs online, but had no success in scheduling an interview.<br />
Finally, I decided I wanted to try my hand at waitressing. It's something I've never done before, and although I think it will difficult for me to get used to, I think it will be a great personal challenge. I need to learn to not take things so personally and to learn to deal with many personality types. I wanted to land a job at Market Street Grill, where my older brother has worked, but I figured I would apply and interview elsewhere first for practice. I decided to walk into Mimi's Cafe in Murray for my first attempt, and was interviewed on the spot. That night they called and scheduled a second interview with the final manager. By the next day, I was officially employed.<br />

What has happened since Christmas Eve…<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Why not start with Christmas? Christmas was oh so lovely. Not so much the scenery, as there wasn’t a single snowflake on the ground, but the feeling in the air was perfect. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Denver and I stayed at his mothers’ house after gorging ourselves in the delicious feast at my parent’s house. We stayed up late playing farkle and watching movies. (I stayed up super late- like 5am-because it was too weird for me to sleep there..) </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">In the morning we opened gifts there and then went home to let the mutt out. We then went to his Dad’s house for more gifts and then to my parents. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">There were so many great gifts this year. I was mostly excited about what I was giving. I got Denver a car stereo for his Passat. It’s a super nice one with a bigger screen for movies and what not. (What I didn’t know was how much it costs to install the dang thing… :/) </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I was also excited for what I got my mom. Her mother was is in the WASPS- the Woman Air Force Service Pilots in WW2- which was an extraordinary feat for women in that day. I found a picture on Etsy of a painting of all the planes the WASPS flew. It is a 46 (if I’m remembering correctly) year old print. The timing couldn’t have been better when I gave it to her. All of my siblings and I had just opened gifts from her consisting of a history book made by my cousin about my grandma in the WASPS along with a pair of my grandma’s wings and a miniature version of her congressional gold medal. My mother was already in tears expressing her gratitude of the knowledge spread about the WASPS and my grandmother specifically just un the last five years and how we know now so much more about my grandmother than she ever did growing up. There couldn’t have been a better moment to give her the picture. It was a beautiful moment. We went to Hobby Lobby last weekend to get a frame for it and I can’t wait to see it up.</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Denver’s gift to me was also very exciting, though not nearly as sentimental. He got me a Kindle, which I have been wanting oh so badly. I can proudly say that I’ve started and completed a novel since my last post on here. (If you haven’t read The Lost Symbol, DO! It’s so good!)</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Then there was New Years. We went to my sister, Kim’s, for New Years and brought our friends, Lindsie and Daniel, along with us. It was a good time filled with games, laughter, and good food. What more can you ask for? I’ve found, at least this year, that I really think of everything I’m grateful for and what the last year has had to offer around New Years instead of Thanksgiving. It’s amazing to look back on all that’s been accomplished and contemplate what the New Year might bring. Here’s wishing everyone a year filled with happiness and confidence.</div><br />
On Saturday I went to take pictures of my friend, Jes Wilson Pettreiss’ adorable 11 week old girl, Avery. I’m nowhere near done with the editing process, but here’s a good handful of some of the finished pictures. Tell me this baby isn’t adorable.<br />

I can’t speak for Rosco….<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0g1OuOK6wnV74xadDFlWiwbz7yzFHUndqVKkJrNltRDvHyT2kZZVQWlSuc8OCkOFQ0QpeQmguJvmK75sNO9gze3k5G3rFpkcmgGwjjNJWZ9Uy01aMBJ4K119xzVF8RLhz_JEYyj1uiiA/s1600/poor+dog.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0g1OuOK6wnV74xadDFlWiwbz7yzFHUndqVKkJrNltRDvHyT2kZZVQWlSuc8OCkOFQ0QpeQmguJvmK75sNO9gze3k5G3rFpkcmgGwjjNJWZ9Uy01aMBJ4K119xzVF8RLhz_JEYyj1uiiA/s320/poor+dog.bmp" width="320" /></a></div>But I’m sure if he could speak he’d tell you he hates me for this. Oh well. He quickly forgets how ridiculous he looks the second we start playing or go for a walk.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It’s Christmas Eve Eve, and I cannot wait for tomorrow.<br />
<br />
I still have a few finishing touches to make to my gifts, but I’m just about there.<br />
<br />
There’s one more thing I need to buy, but I really don’t dare venture into the crazed holiday crowd… We’ll see what happens.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I am sick. A few days ago the same horrible head cold I just got over hit me again. I keep hoping I’ll wake up the next day healthier, but I just keep going downhill. This morning I could barely speak and I could tell by the look on Denver’s face that he was surprised by the worsening condition but didn’t want to say anything. He knows I’ll be crushed if I don’t get better by tomorrow night so I can hold his new and adorable niece. Considering we’re only a day away now, things aren’t looking good for me, but I can still hope for a Christmas miracle.<br />
<br />
This will be the first year that he and I will be spending Christmas morning together. I’m excited. We’re having Christmas Eve dinner with my family for our traditional feast and then we’ll be going to spend the night at his mother’s house with the rest of his family. Come morning, we’ll open gifts there, then go to my sister’s at 10 to open more gifts, and then hit his Dad’s house for more gifts. We’ll be going back to my parent’s for Christmas leftovers, and somewhere in the mix we’ll have to find time to come home and let Rosco stretch his legs. Poor mutt.. If he weren’t so crazy all the time we might be able to bring him, but I don’t see that happening…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anywho.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone’s season is bright and that the weekend is a familial blast all around. <br />

I've been working on painting my own tree ornaments.<br />
I'm making my own advent calendar.<br />
I (with plenty of help from my wonderful mother) made Den and I stockings.<br />
Oh, and Rosco. Of course Rosco gets a stocking.<br />
I've got the patio decorated with lights.<br />
And that's about it so far- but still- a lot more than I can say for last year.<br />
(It's<i> expensive</i> to decorate for Christmas!!)<br />
<br />
Anywho. Here are some pictures to illustrate. :)<br />

<br />
<br />
I literally want to be snowed in. But only if Den and I are both home. It’d suck if it snowed that much while he was working his graveyard shift and was stuck there… So preferably a Sunday night- I want like 6 feet of snow to be dumped all across Salt Lake and prevent anyone from going to work Monday morning. <br />
<br />
Instead, they’ll have to sleep in. Make hot cocoa and watch a movie all cozy on the couch with the striking white covered earth glowing from the window.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
mmm.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Boo Monday mornings.<br />
<br />
I’ll be sure to post a few sneak peeks of Denver’s family photo shoot I did yesterday. They’re not too shabby, I must say.Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-61210829993229627982010-11-05T12:00:00.000-07:002010-11-05T12:00:16.669-07:00"I'm never washing this hand..."You know those crazy 12 year old female hysterical boy band fans? The ones screaming non stop in the front row praying to be one of the lucky girls who grazes fingers with the smokin lead singer high-fiving everyone? And once it happens exclaims, "<strong>I AM NEVER WASHING THIS HAND AGAIN!!!" </strong>? You know what I'm saying? I'm feeling a little like that today, in a nastolgic kinda way.<br />
<br />
If you read my post yesterday about the Anderson Crew blog I feel in love with, this will make more sense.<br />
<br />
After posting that blog I'd emailed the one and only Mama Anderson (aka Emily). <br />
I told her how much I already adored her blog and family and how wickedly awesome her photography is.<br />
I asked a question or two, completely anticipating this email to never even be fully read.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I do that. <br />
<br />
Just to get my thoughts out there.<br />
<br />
And you know what?<br />
<br />
She replied that <em>night. </em>Awesome, right? What would the giddy little girl inside of me say to this...<br />
I'm never washing my <em>eyes? </em>That's just absurd. Whatever. you know what I mean. I was pretty excited to see she responded.<br />
<br />
I did find out she does not get paid to blog. (But that's not entirely true- she has ads on her blog that are helping fund their adoption- so that's neat). Speaking of which, if I have any generous readers out there who feel the desire to make a contribution to their adoption fund, just go to her blog at <a href="http://andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com/">http://andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com/</a> and there's a donation field on the right side. (<strike>I would if my bank account wasn't currently stagnent....)</strike><br />
<br />
So yes. She's a rad, rational, really cool, rormal person. So she says. I still look up to her blog as a goal to strive for.<br />
<br />
So now that I sound like a stalker fan, let's move on.<br />
<br />
It is Friday. HALLELUJAH HOLLA BACK. I'm currently eating a coconut curry tofu lunch from a taco stand outside my work (and it's delish). <br />
<br />
It is a <em>gorgeous </em>day here in Murray, Utah. The suns-a-shinin. The mountains are visible. Leaves are falling all around- and the <strong>last </strong>thing I want to do is sit at my cubicle right now... ugh to the max...<br />
<br />
Tomorrow's going to be a superb day, though, and I plan to take full advantage of that. Alone or not. I'm running a 5k in Sandy in the morning. My pal, Jackie (in earlier posts), was supposed to go with- we registered together and I got our shirts today- but now she's crazy sick. Just talking to her on the phone made me want to sanitize my hands... so we'll see if she miraculously gets better over night. I'll run by myself if needs be. I already dropped the 16 bucks ont he deal and got an awesome "<em>Turkey Trot" </em>shirt out of it, so might as well. I just hope I don't forget my iPod at work... I'll pull that out now to avoid such a tradegy.<br />
<br />
Sunday i'm doing a family photo shoot of Denver's clan. I'm a tad bit nervous, to be frank. I'm not too hot nor experienced with the group photos... I did theirs' last year and I wasn't proud of a single frame... :( I may be pulling myself down right now with those daunting failures lurking in my head... I better study Braeden and Jenni's prego couple shoot to boost my confidence.<br />
<br />
I swear I'll post some of those one day.<br />
They're on my fb, if you want to bother looking there.<br />
<br />
And now I'm going to stop my Friday rambling.<br />
<br />
Is it 5 yet?<br />
<br />
<br />
ugh.<br />
<br />
TGIF. <br />
Take advantage of the last lovely weekend of the year!Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-42874961005282432812010-11-04T11:57:00.000-07:002010-12-10T14:20:43.295-08:00ObsessionSo I have recently discovered a <a href="http://andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com/">blog</a> that has thoroughly swallowed my attention for the last 48 hours.<br />
It's called the Anderson Crew and it's about an adorable family that I now adore.<br />
<br />
There are 4 chillins and 1 adoptee baby girl from Ethiopia on the way. <br />
The papa's asian and mama's white and the 4 children are so cute you want to eat them up.<br />
<br />

I absolutely love the photography style Mama Anderson has, and I wish I could shadow her for a week to see how she does everything she does while making it all look so effortless. <br />
<br />
I think she's one of those lucky <strike>jerks</strike> mothers who get paid to blog. <br />
<br />
I envy her.<br />
<br />
I will find a way to have 4 children, take millions of pictures of them, find time to photoshop them <strong><em>and </em></strong>maintain a fabulous blog and get paid for it one day.<br />
<br />
Only thing is time. ugh.<br />
<br />
Stupid time and money.<br />
They hold me back from so many things in life.<br />
(Sorry I haven't posted lately! If I ever want to get paid for this I better practice, eh?)<br />
<br />
I did a photoshoot of Denver's brother and prego sister-in-law refcently. I'm about halfway through the editing process, and if I ever find the time and patience to upload a few on here, I will do just that.<br />
<br />
IT'S ALMOST FRIDAY!! hip hip, HOORAY!Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-83925474993428121792010-10-12T10:29:00.000-07:002010-10-12T10:29:27.041-07:00Carrie's Crazy Crack-head DreamsSo yesterday morning I didn't sleep worth crap past 4 a.m. between Rosco crying because he was sick and this crazy dream I was having. <br />
<br />
This dream/nightmare kept waking me up because it was just too intense and scary to sleep peacefully. The frustrating thing was that it was one of those dreams that no matter how many times I woke up or how long I stayed awake in each interval, the dang thing picked right back up where it left off as soon as my eyes shut again...<br />
<br />
The dream started at my apartment in the middle of the night. These two ladies were knocking on our door and I was wondering why the heck they would be there at that time. As they were walking away I stepped out onto the porch in my robe to get a better look at them and heard one talking on a phone in a very serious tone saying, "Number six isn't answering but-" and mid-sentence they both stopped and looked back and saw me standing there. They turned around and started coming back towards me. <br />
<br />
At this point Denver's hovering just inside the open door to see what was going on. All of a sudden the women start rudely accusing me of having stolen something of theirs and that they wanted it back. This tone of theirs took a much more white-trash approach however; not at all how the one had sounded on the phone. I began to yell back at them for so boorishly interrupting our sleep for this load of crap they were making up. Denver came out and announced the cops were on their way.<br />
<br />
The two women did not appreciate this one bit, and things began to accelerate quickly.<br />
<br />
All of a sudden I was in a parking garage with all of my direct siblings. I have no idea what happened with the porch situation- but I guess that's how dreams roll- at any point the setting and situation can change entirely.<br />
<br />
The two women had apparently been scouting for me while other similar agents were tracking my siblings down. They had successfully gotten all six of us into this colossal parking garage and there the hunt began.<br />
<br />
This is where I partly blame the new TV show, 'The Event', because this government employed group of agents was hunting my family down because we had powers. We didn't know they knew about our secrets and boy, were they prepared.<br />
<br />
Marcy could make us all invisible, but we had to be within a certain distance from her for it to work.<br />
Chris could break anything shatterable, like glass and mirrors, just by thought. <br />
Kim could change the surrounding structure, like to incorporate a passage way through a wall or floor.<br />
I could create an illusion and make us camouflage or appear as someone else.<br />
I don't recall what powers Randy or Bobby housed, but I do know we could all communicate through our thoughts.<br />
<br />
The agents' goal was to separate us as much as possible and they were doing a decent job. I remember at one point I was camouflaging a sibling and I to blend in with a concrete pillar in the garage, waiting for a particularly creepy female agent to pass. She turned the other way but all of a sudden she turned the mirror on a side of a truck right up towards us and stared into my eyes. They’d discovered my illusions failed when seen through a mirror…<br />
<br />
At this point, Marcy and Chris roamed the parking garage, invisible, as Chris shattered every mirror in the place.<br />
<br />
We tried so many times to escape and overcome the agents, but they were too prepared and knowledgeable of our powers and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
The most frustrating part about the entire dream was that no matter what we did- no matter what powers we used to try and escape, they were one step ahead of us, ready to deter our abilities from saving us.<br />
<br />
We eventually had to call in the parents. We were doing everything we could to handle the situation ourselves and leave them out of harm, but we were all growing tired and our powers were draining with our strength. We knew that if we waited too much longer, we would all be doomed.<br />
<br />
My parents were the most powerful of us all. <br />
<br />
My Dad could make machinery stop working- such as the guns the agents were carrying and all of the sources of their technology.<br />
My Mom could straight up make people’s hearts stop all together. <br />
<br />
I don’t remember the end of the dream- I actually don’t think there was an end. Eventually I just woke up and got ready for work because I just couldn’t take anymore of the action.<br />
That dream was exhausting me and doing no good sleep wise.<br />
<br />
So then began Monday.<br />
<br />
Yay.Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-44270546521581404242010-10-05T12:10:00.000-07:002010-10-05T12:19:15.041-07:00Yay for this week!!!!I cannot say enough how excited I am for this week. And here are the 3 reasons in no specific order- my excitement for each is equal.<br />
<br />
1-Chris, my older brother, got home from Alaska Sunday night. He's been gone for 6 months, and I missed him like crazy. He has such an adventerous personality that I can't help but hold my breath a bit until I see him, knowing he could easily get himself into scary situations. I love that about him, though. He is the one person I know who will never let anything get in the way of him living his life to the fullest extent. He is such a role model for me in that aspect. I wish I had the spontaineity he possesses to just go do whatever he wants.<br />

<br />
2-Bobby, my oldest brother, and his girlfriend of 6+ years, Clybe, are tying the knot this Saturday!!! We've known this day would come for a long time now, and we are all so excited for them and this official addition to our clan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_3wU0BT-tHUz95FwfMu_7zWvSZwQusI8v8nCL_DTPONOs1EW-rTLBvuElnPUDvJdRm3r4LEOeRmTM9imezmyKLjHLjmd9zWzds5Z1ezVkQt1isj6i5uTZCurNzcCO3jo2k7JFgfVOM3Q/s1600/Arby+&+Climber.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_3wU0BT-tHUz95FwfMu_7zWvSZwQusI8v8nCL_DTPONOs1EW-rTLBvuElnPUDvJdRm3r4LEOeRmTM9imezmyKLjHLjmd9zWzds5Z1ezVkQt1isj6i5uTZCurNzcCO3jo2k7JFgfVOM3Q/s400/Arby+&+Climber.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
3-Because of this exciting event, Marcy and her husband, Chris, are in town. They got here yesterday and leave Monday, the 11th. We actually get a decent chunk of time to see them, and I am so happy for it. They did live in Philadelphia, PA, but they just moved to Portland, Maine- so they have had a lot on thier plate lately, and I'm hoping this will be a nice time for them to relax.<br />
<br />

<br />
All in all- my entire family is in one place at the same time for the first time in a few years, and I plan on taking advantage of every second that I can.<br />

p.s.- I am LOVING the new job. I really do feel like this is where I belong. When I started at Fortis, I cried my first two weeks there and I assumed it was because I had a difficult time managing the change. Now I know that was not the case at all, because I love coming to work at Marquette. I love my coworkers and I truely feel this is the first job I've ever had that will utilize my skills to their fullest, most personally rewarding level possible. The amount of camaraderie and employee moral here is unbelievable and I could not be happier with my choice to accept this position.Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12825515697223846681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542634007984305640.post-10053327025972188332010-09-23T08:01:00.000-07:002010-09-23T08:11:39.364-07:00I think Rosco is a German Shepherd/Husky mixSo I was surfing KSL puppies yesterday for female cuties that would be ideal for Rosco to play with.<br />
I came across these German Shepherd/Husky mix puppies that I fell in love with. They are SO cute. And then I realized they look exactly like Rosco did when he was that size- that I've already fallen in love with the same puppy! Look at these:<br />

The resemblence is uncanny, right? So, we firgure that's what he is. We're ALWAYS asked if he is part german shepherd. But we're not going to tell our current apartment complex or wherever we go next, because german shepherds are not allowed many places, including the current apartment complex. :D<br />
<br />
By the way, my puppy is huge, already. When we first got him, the seller told us he was a husky/mini australian shepherd mix. They told us, that along with that, he should only get to be about 35 lbs max.<br />
<br />
That was crap. I last weighed him in at 45 lbs, but that was some time ago. I have been too paranoid that he's now over 50 lbs to weigh him again... Plus he's just stinkin heavy to pick up.<br />
<br />

So yes. He is a big boy now, but I do love him, oh so much.<br />
<br />
On a side note- the new job is going great. I am loving the atmosphere and my coworkers. I can't wait until I know what I'm doing!<br />
<br />
Marcy and Chris fly in on Oct. 4th for Bobby and Clybe's wedding and are here till the 11th. I am so excited. Chris Taylor is also on his way home from Alaska right now, so we'll have the whole gang in town, at least for a short while. I cannot wait.<br />

Hello friends.<br />
I pulled up this window to post some more pictures (there are SOOO many to pot that will never make it up here..) and I realized I haven't done a very good job just keeping you up to speed with my life.<br />
<br />
Tuesday of next week, the 14th, will be my last day at Fortis.<br />
Wednesday, the 15th, will be my first day at Marquette Equipment Finance.<br />
<br />
Yes I am nervous. I think you all know how well I <i>don't</i> handle change.<br />
But I'm feeling more confident than I did when starting at Fortis, so that's a plus.<br />
<br />
Mostly I'm excited. I'm excited for the new opportunity. I'm excited to experience something that's not the front desk environment I'm so accustomed to. I'm excited to work with the people at Marquette. I'm excited for my team specifically, which will consist of 3 gals, including myself. Kristina's my boss and Jessica will be my equal. They are both very cool girls that I'm excited to better get to know- and I'm confident in their training abilities- unlike Fortis where it was all baptism by fire... That's not how I best learn. I cried for the first two weeks at Fortis... Seriously. I left my second interview with Marquette (I had to go through <i>three</i>) just grinning ear to ear because I enjoyed Kristina and Jessica so much. I'm also going to be working with my aforementioned friend, Jackie Pendleton. She's actually the one who brought my resume to their attention, and after that was history.<br />
I wish I could have a break in between the two jobs, but instead I'll be stepping into this new job running. I guess that's life, right?<br />
<br />
That's the biggest news in my life right now.<br />
My brother Bobby is marrying his girlfriend of six years next month. I am so happy for them and cannot wait for their big day.<br />
<br />
Denver and I are doing swell. Rosco is huge. I haven't weighed him recently but I think that is in part due to my fear that he is now over 45 lbs... I do love that pup, though. He is a doll and he really does quite adore Denver and me. It is sweet. (He's seven months old as of four days ago and is currently chasing his tail.)<br />
<br />
I've recently purchased a dandy camera. It's a digital SLR- the Canon Rebel EOS T2i series. It is beyond awesome. I really need to learn how to use it to it's fullest potential. I'm really hoping this will be a good start for a potentially beautiful future in photography.<br />
<br />
And on that note, here are some pictures.<br />
First of all, here are the earrings I ordered a few weeks ago. O love them. (pictures taken on old digital Canon.)<br />
