24 Years Young!!

24 Years Young!!
Brandon sent me flowers to my hair school for my Birthday! They were beautiful!! He also brought me food to work afterwards (I know school and work on my birthday day 8am-1030pm haha oh well!) Brandon also made me strawberry crepes with Greek yogurt for breakfast. He made me a DELICIOUS lemon pie it was beyond AMAZING! I loved how he added caramelized lemon slices on top with colour swirled homemade whip cream. I also got a cookie bouquet from my girl friend Jana at hair school. I adore her......and you can see one of the reasons why!!! Brandon bought me a new bike for my birthday!!! :) Brandon went to the design place in the mall and had them make one with my name on it for my bike!

Brandon & I went up for Kristen & Pete's Wedding on the top left in the photo collage there is a Polaroid photo that we took at their wedding it was a cute book idea to have guests take photos and add them in a book as a memory keep sake.

This was my Birthday Dinner Brandon made me. It our traditional dinner that I alway ask Brandon to make me. It was mouth watering.
Up do I did for School. I also highlighted this doll head too! 
 Another up do... I wore this one to Vegas for work. I got so many compliments on it I thought I should take a photo and use it for my look book. A girl in my class has done her hair with a messy side bun that I love so she inspired me to do one with my twist to it. I love angel braids I do them a lot!
Learning braids!! These are braids I did on my doll head. I need to name her...so far nothing fits. ...But you can tell these braids look similar but when you take a close look they are actually very different. 

I love fishtail braids! I remember when I was in elementary school my Mom braiding my hair and this one was my favorite!

What an amazing Father and Mother are willing to do for a daughter in hair school! This is the before and after of their hair! I colored my Dad's to cover the grey & I foiled my Moms hair. I learned a ton & it turned out great!
Jana & I the day we got our KITS!! We were so excited!!! I am holding a Marcel Curling Iron its the old fashioned way they used to make curling irons. Its a little bit harder than a regular curling iron. They consider these the "professional" way to curl hair. I actually really like it. Or maybe I just like hot tools their products are always so nice because they get really hot which makes them work so well!

Crock Pot! I got a crock pot and I have been loving it! Its amazing!!! I made brown Spanish rice with green chilies, tomatoes, chicken and pepper jack cheese on top. The Spanish peppers on top didn't add too much flavor it was more for making it pretty :) haha Brandon LOVED this dish!! I will definitely have to do this again!


Chicken Marsala with Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
I made this for Sunday dinner a few weeks ago. Again very big hit! Brandon loved it so much I have already made it again. This last sunday I made homemade pizza again also peach cobbler. This was my 3rd time doing peach cobbler I keep tweeking this recipie to try new ways of making it.

Eating dinner and watching our movie together :) We didn't go to bed til 1:30 am....party animals I know!

Brandon Surpised me with a wonderful dinner, sparkling cider with tulip glasses and..... an Easter Lilly! It smells really sweet like honey and it fills the house. Its beautiful. Afterwards we watched "Next Three Days" with Russel Crowe it was really suspensful the entire time you are on the edge of your seat. Your heart melts watching the measures he goes through for his family.

Valentine's Day

 For Valentines Day Brandon made me dinner. This was the samething we did last year so its kind of our new tradition. I love traditions so it was fun to do this again. Dinner was amazing! Brandon did a great job. We had cheese and crackers one was a special blend of cheese with almond slices and the other was cream cheese with semi sweet chocolate and shortbread cookies to dip....YUM!!! Dinner we had fish, veggies and sweet potatoes & dessert was old fashioned strawberry shortcake. It was great! We made extra for my family and they gobbled it up!
Old Fashion Strawberry Shortcake.
We made it with homemade whip cream, buttermilk biscuits & fresh cut strawberries. I helped with the biscuits Brandon has credit for everything else. Including getting me roses TWICE this week!!
