PASTA MAKER

Yeah!! i was finally able to make pasta on our new pasta maker we got for our wedding. it was so yummy. homemade noodles is my new favorite thing to eat... not that i eat them alot though cause i have only made them this once... but i have plans of never buying spagetti or fettacinni noodles ever again, Yeah for kitchen aid!

Our darling apartment.

This is our humble home, the kitchen is slightly messy but you get the idea. Me and Chris have had so much fun painting and making everything into our home. these are just the main rooms, i left out bathrooms and spare bedrooms so as not to bore anyone.

This is mine and Chris's first time back to the temple since our wedding, so we decided to take pictures and document it.... granted this was several months ago andwe didnt have a blog so we are documenting them now. and these are the only pictures we have taken since then and tyler would flip if we didnt post pictures. so you get to hear about our date. it was super fun we whent and did seelings, and then had dinner. to the left you can see chris' face when he is trying to do a candid picture.... isnt he sweet?

here you can see part of our house before we painted it from the ugly white...... oh ya and you can also see chris with his head on backwards (thats what he tried to tell me but we all know its just his clothes on backwards.) now that i have shown all of you a semi before picture of our house i am going to go home and take pictures so that everyone can see our cool new paint job... now that kensi has given me her old camera.. what a sweetheart.
