Grey turtleneck, green dress from Target, black Crocs

This is the most comfortable dress I own. I could sleep in it, seriously. And while we're on the subject of comfort, these Crocs are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and they're Sunday shoes! Plus! So, all in all a very comfortable day, which is great because our four year olds were completely horrid today. All eight of them decided to be completely unhinged and unmanageable. We're exhausted. Enjoy your Sunday!

Green shirt from a long time ago, jean skirt from Target, brown boots

The reason why I was all dressed up on a Saturday morning is because we went to the temple! Yay! It takes us three hours to drive to the Winter Quarters temple, so we make it an all day thing.

This is us driving to the temple with our good friends Geoff and Jessica. We're attractive.


After doing sealings, we ate at Olive Garden for lunch. Yum.


We got back into Manhattan just in time to go to the institute ice skating activity and it was so much fun! Regretfully, I left my camera in the car and didn't get any pictures. Geoff and Dan had a lot of fun trying to be figure skaters and luckily, no one was seriously injured. Overall, it was a really fun day.

AE blue long sleeve shirt, favorite blue jeans, scarf from Target, black Crocs

Tonight Dan and I actually went on a date! Yay! We're really poor though, so we did one of our most favorite dates. Don't worry, I'm going to tell you about it.

We're really excited to be going out!


One of our favorite really cheap dates is to go from drive-in to drive-in getting one thing each off the dollar menu. We each get to spend $4. Then, we go to DigitalShelf and rent a movie.



We watched the Brothers Bloom. If you haven't seen it, you should. It was so funny and so well done.


So, that was my outfit and this was our date.

Light blue DownEast long sleeve shirt, black Aerie pants, black Ugg boots

I am seriously the least photogenic person on the planet. This picture (with no face showing) was the best of the worst. Seriously. I'm not sure what I am going to do from now on. It makes me very self-conscious to post these pictures of me. lol. Ah well. I have always hated pictures of myself, so I guess it shouldn't be different now. But, seriously, do I look like this all the time or is the camera just always catching my bad side? Yikes.

Wow, anyways. Today I had a test early in the morning, so I wore the most comfortable pants I own. I seriously love these suckers and wear them A LOT, so you'll definitely be seeing them again. In other news, I took a three hour nap today. It was awesome.

Our life as of Late

All week this is what I have been doing:



All week Dan has been doing this:



I haven't spent any time with my husband since Sunday. :( I hate being this busy. I haven't read a book just for fun in a really long time. I even have this big long list of books that I can't wait to read and am so excited about, but there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. I feel like I'm being stretched too thin, and even when I start feeling this way I look at Dan and then feel bad that I am feeling sorry for myself. Because even though I am feeling overwhelmed, he is easily twice as much so as me. I just wish that we could sit and talk for a while or cuddle and watch a movie. We haven't done any of that in ages. I can't wait for this weekend because we are going to go to the temple on Saturday, which will give us plenty of quality time in the car, and on Sundays we get to relax and hang out. I am really just missing him and missing recreational fun. That's all my complaining for now.

AE blue v-neck sweater, grey DownEast lace cami, grey half-jacket thingie, AE skinny jeans, black Ugg boots

Nothing too great about this one. I haven't worn this little grey jacket in a while and was trying to think of a way to incorporate it somehow, so here you go. I had to see the lady doctor today and was in school until 3, so I mostly just wanted to be comfortable. Sorry that this outfit is a little weird and is somewhat dull, but it was really comfortable. You've no idea.

On that note, can we just talk about my Ugg boots for a second? I have resisted getting them forever because I think that they are hideously ugly. Seriously. Not to mention all the girls in all the sororities wear them, which instantly makes me not want them. But, this semester I have to walk about a mile every other morning to get to a class and I had no shoes that were comfortable enough and warm enough for this venture. And so, I caved and finally bought some Uggs. We now have a love/hate relationship. I still think they are ugly, but man are they just the most comfortable thing I own. They are great for walking long distances and even when it's freezing outside my toes are toasty warm. Anywho, that's my speal.

Turtleneck white sweater that I haven't touched in over a year, AE skinny jeans, brown boots

It was so cold today, so most of my pictures with this outfit looked like this. oh well. This one was inspired by my cousin's day four outfit, even though hers is soooo much cuter.

Today was pretty uneventful. But, here is my TO-DO list:
-go to the bank and get quarters
-do the laundry
-start on book report
-write a response paper
-start revision of last response paper
-read Alice in Wonderland
-make dinner
-go to bed
