Burlap Wreath

I started this wreath last year, But when I finished it, it looked way christmas-ish. (mostly because of the red flower I think) So here are the steps and the finished product on my front door!

I got the wreath form form DI for 50 cents. It is made of straw. Someone else had tried to use it with the flowers and it looked crazy. So I bought it and fulled the red flowers off and used them all bunched together.

So I cut burlap into squares. Then I folded the squares twice over.




Then I used a screw driver to make holes in the wreath form, and filled it with hot glue, and used the screw driver to shove it in. It took kind of a long time, but I absolutely love the finished product!

Kirk birthday and swear in

Yay for Kirk's birthday! He turned 29, but don't remind him of that!
He got a shooting target that is way fun! We took it out and tried it and its great! There is a little "ping" every time you hit it.
Kirk passed the bar! We were so happy to have some visitors for the occasion! The swear-in was very nice, great speakers and a very short ceremony, wich is unusual in the law world, but very very nice. : )

happy birthday Heather!

Graduation!!!!!!!

Kirk Graduated!!!!! What a wonderful week its been, graduation was a two day event, Thursday Richard G. Scott spoke and was wonderful!! Friday was when Kirk actually walked and after we partied! He says its weird to not be worryied about school, but I am loving the new-less stressed and more silly Kirk. Its an exciting time and we are enjoying every second of it!

Valentines Day Surprise

So for valentines day I wanted to do something extra special for Kirk. So I arranged a test drive with the coolest/most expensive car within an hour of where we live. It ended up a Bentley! The black one cost like $250,000! Boy it was awesome! The cars where made entirely of leather, grand piano wood, or metal. Not a scrap of plastic! They sales guy said it took 12 full cows to make the car, and boy the leather was amazing. You can't really capture the feel of the amazing interior in the pictures. The car drove great too! like 0-120 in minutes. It was a lot of fun! I think Kirk really enjoyed it.

A post to catch up on not posting : )

So its been a while, but honestly, Kirk and I are boring in school. He are some pictures to show what we've been up to since we got back from Washington.

So we moved in to our new apartment in Provo, (this one has two bedrooms! We're living the high life) And we got a kitchen table. I love KSL



Then Halloween came and past, we had a quiet Halloween passing out candy, carving pumpkins (which were smashed that night) and watching Hocus Pocus! The greatest Halloween movie of all times.




We did go to a rockin Murder mystery party with our friends from Kirk's study group, all those pictures are on Facebook, Kirk is Prince charming and I am Juliet, it was awesome.

We did Thanksgiving at my parents house with all fam





These next pictures are of a traditional candle light dinner my family has every year, we bust out all my moms real silver and crystal glasses and have ham. Its fun to eat on the finest and pretend to have British manners.





Then was Christmas morning, we came back to Provo that night to have our own Christmas together, it was great. Started our own tradition to do a big breakfast for dinner, complete with bacon! We really missed the Kirk's side of the family around the holidays this year. hopefully next year we'll make it up to Oregon.




Sorry its so late, but hopefully I can stick with my new- new years resolution of trying to keep on the blog, and flossing.
We love and miss all of you we don't get to see as much as we wish we could!
