Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!

This Valentines Day has been very special to me. Jordan and I have been trying to spend way more time together ever since we have been working so much. We seem to never be home at the the same time, except for a few hours here or there and when we sleep. I've been making sure any night he is home to make him dinner and watch his show's with me, and whenever he's home all day he makes sure to help around the house, and yes he even watch's my girly show's every now and then to.

I wanted to tell him how much I LOVE him and how thankful I am for him in my life! Here are a few things that I LOVE about Jordan.......

.....Whenever i'm feeling down, he makes me laugh and brings me back up.....

---He feeds the Horses for my in the morning when I have work early---

******The way he lip sings his favorite songs*******

###How much HE LOVES Top Gear and wants me to wach EVERY episone with him###

...The way he kisses my forehead & cheek in the morning (when we a wake up together)....

***You make my heart still race and feel giddy waiting for you to come home***

"""I love that you think i'm beautiful, with no make-up, nothing just me"""

:::I love when you make weird faces and try to attack me or chase me through the house:::

But,

Most of all,

I LOVE being in LOVE with YOU!!!

Is love blind? It's quite the opposite: Love is the ability to see the good in another, even if its not in plain sight.

Jordan and I have been married for over a year now and life just seems to be getting better! I always tell him to think positive and look forward to all that we have in the future, and he just looks at me and shakes his head, but I know he think the same thing! I love you babe! Happy Valentines Day to all!!! Hope it is filled with so much love you overflow!!!!!

Love,

Valentines Day Cookies

So....Want to know what I spent my WHOLE saturday doing!!!! Well, I guess I don't have to tell you! You can see it right here!

My mom and I wanted to make some cookies for friends and family and I decided to make 8 PLATES! I had even more people in mind, but after frosting 48 cookies I was about worn out! I did have fun writing cute messages though and have an even better idea for how i'm going to decorate them next year!!!

Here at the Wolfe house it's always a tradition to make sugar cookies. Doesn't matter the holiday, there just that good we just have to make them! We always make them for christmas, and we did this last year I just forgot to take pictures and post them all up! But, for v-day I just had to make them cause well, there SOO Good! Not going to lie, since saturday, Jordan and I have finished of 3 plates!!! lol I know really bad and not so great when we're both trying to eat smart! But to make the night even better, we ended it with going to Red Robin! How's that for a healthy saturday! We enjoyed it though! Yummy cookies, Yummy Burgers, Time with Family, Time Together!

I have out some to Jordan's family for FHE at our place on Sunday night and to a few of our married friends here in town and in Idaho Falls and left the rest for us to devour! Good thing there's only one plate left! :-) and guess what, Jordan works tonight! Mwuaahhhh!! Just kidding, I'll save him...one!

Well, this Valentines day has been very well celebrated and it's not over yet!!!!!!

Love,

Conversation Hearts & Decor

Ok, so first, ignore all of the random pictures and frame's and ect. behind the couch, I still haven't gotten around to hanging ANYTHING on the walls, but no fear, tomorrow we will hopefully got some up with the help of Jordan's mom and sisters!!! lol But, I wanted to share my cute decorations on one of our tables with you before v-day is totally gone right! Well, I spent one of our not so busy nights, watching one of jordan's show's and making this cute converstation heart cone! I found this idea while I was browsing a TON of blogs for ideas of cute, cheap, easy ideas for v-day and this is one I had to do, because well, I hade everything but the hearts and all they cost was about $2!

To assemble is quite easy! I just hot glued each heart to a Styrofoam cone in any order of color or design! it took a whole bag and half, one because I had more pink and white hearts then anything else, but it only took about 30 minutes! Jordan thought it was pretty cook and he ate the extra hearts! I just thought it was super cute!

The picture frame is just some subway art I found on another blog and then the little card is Jordan's v-day card from last year and then the heart shaped book is a very adorable crafty scrapbook that my sister made for me a few years ago when Jordan and I were first dating! Funny story, she had it and was working on it when we first were engaged and she took the pictures in it and everything, and when Jordan and I split up for a bit she didn't give it to me or keep working on it cause she didn't want it to make me more sad, but anyways a few months after Jordan and I got married in febuary of last year, she gave it to me with it all finished! Funny story! She put so much effort into it, we had to stay together!!! But I love my sister and all of her amazingness! She is soooo talented and Im so glad to have her around to be able to keep our memories around forever with her talent! Love you big sis!

Love,

Tangy Pork Roast

Oh My, You will LOVE this recipe! I have made it Three times at our house in the last few months becuase it is that good! Jordan loves it and between the two of us, you'll be lucky if there are any leftovers!!! Love it! So I decided to share it with you all! It's from a recipe book I barrowed from my mom, from Deseret Book called Slow-Cooker Cookbook from Mormon Pantry. If you don't have it, go and get it! OMG YUM! I've made about four recipes so far in it and have LOVED everyone and there are so easy and so few ingredients! Today is your lucky day if you don't have it though, cause well, I'm gonna share one with you!!!

Tangy Pork Roast

2 onions, sliced
3-4lb boneless pork roast
1 C. water
1/4 C. apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. ketchup
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Tabasco Sauce

Place sliced onions in slow-cooker; place roast on onions. Mix remaining ingredients, using tabasco sauce to tast, and pour over roast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook on high 3-4 hrs or low 7-8 hrs.

I serve mine over rice and beans, it would be good like with pineapple and green pepper with just plain rice, it would be good with noodles, or on a sandwich, or in taco's or burrito's, omg it's just so good! Please try it and tell me what you think!!!

Love,

Cute V-Day Banner

Last weekend I finished my first banner that I created myself! I went to Porters and found some cute springy like valentines paper and tags and came up with a fun idea! I went down to Jordan's mom's for a girls craft night and started it, but was watching my little nephew so I didn't get to far, but the I had the next day off and decided to clear off the kitchen table and put all my crafting stuff out and got on the roll! I finished it the next day so it took a good three days, but I did finish it and I am SOO happy with how cute it is! It's not super pink and red for valentines day, which is nice because i'm working on some cute fabric balls that are going to go in my apocraphy jars that are the same colors so I can keep most of it up for spring!!! I love pastel colors and you'll learn to notice that! :-)

Here are a few pictures a took the other day! They aren't that great to show it's justice but it is super cute and I am pretty dang proud of myself and all my creativity! I have another craft that i'm working on tonight, it's a conversation heart cone thingy, it will make sense when I post the pictures, but it will go great with some of my other valentines day decor!!!

Love,
Em

2011...What will it bring?

It's been a few months since i've posted anything....
I've become horrible at taking pictures....
I've become lazy at posting about our happenings......
But, I'm back, and ready to make it better agian!!!

I hate being one of those women who look at EVERYONE'S blogs and just day dream. The thing is I am so capable of doing ALL of the thing I see on all of these amazing women's blogs, I just don't give myself enough credit, and well enough time. I'm horrible with time, especaialy time for myself. I don't know what it really is, and last week or so, it dawned on me...."I need time to do the things I love, and well, I have the time, I'm just not giving myself the time." It's really no ones fault but my own. Yes I work, and I have a house to clean and animals to feed and a husband to love and take care of, but I also have myself. I can't just leave all my needs on the wayside, waiting....Thats just not right, right???

Well, no matter what anyone else thinks, it's time for me to take care and do things for myself. So everyday, I am giving myself, 30 minutes to an hour. I am going to either, take a nap, read a book or a magazine, workout, do a craft, learn something new, organize things, plan things, give myself a facial, or pedicure, or manicure, or shower and get dressed up!!! No matter what it is, I need that an hour a day. As well, with this time everyday, I am going to make sure I start blogging more. Journal more to all of you and to myself how life is. I feel like I am an open book, but honestly, im quite closed. It's time to put everything out there (ok not everything, but most things) The more support all around the better I am!!!

I've made a lot of resolutions this year, and of course a lot of them dwindled very quickly, but I'm not giving up hope. A big reason for all of this change is because tonight, I went and worked out with a dear friend, and was able to just talk and get all the drama in my life off my chest, other then family or husband, and it felt so good...although I was on an elliptical and just getting over a cold so I could barely breath, but it felt SO good!!! I LOVE working out and I LOVE feeling good about my body and what I do for it and give it as well and I don't know what happened the last little while, but I just forgot to care? So, as for all this time for me, a big change will be making sure I give my body what it needs! Lot's of exercize and healthier choices! I do go yo-yoing all the time, but this time I feel good about things! It's finally time for change!

Well enough of my lifes story tonight, I just wanted to get it all off my chest, but get excited for lots of new things this year! I already have a few fun valentines day crafts to share and even more I have planned for this week! I'm going to get better at taking pictures, which I LOVE, and start posting all our yummy and hopefully semi-healthier recipes. I also will post success stories and pictures of weight loss and fun routines and songs and feelings! It's time to get it all out and especially make this year a great one! I've been making a lot of good changes in my life and hopefully some of these experiences will help others then just myself!

I want to also thank my sweet husband for ALWAYS encouraging me, even though I constantly just ignore his persistence! I know he truly cares for me and wants me to feel good about myself! It's time for me to start listening instead of grudging! He is a very sweet man, and very stubborn too!!! :-) I Love him so much!
