May our passion be LIFE.

"Decide what to be and go be it."- Avett Bros

After spending three days in Kansas and 12 hours in airports in Kansas and Denver, it sure felt good to come home to this lovely lady right here (and lil nashy boy). I love her most.

After seeing the movie Taken a few months ago and now Unknown tonight, I have concluded that yes, Liam Neeson is indeed the greatest fighter/assassin/ problem solver in human history.

snow....

what a morning! i woke up with the worst cold ever... i hate colds more than anything. i could barely breath my nose was so stuffy! and then i look out the window and see nothing but white! i mean im fine with snow but not right now! it should be sunny and warm, it should be spring. winter has gone on way too long!! me and brods got ready and headed to church which took us twice as long to get to because of the annoying snow! we got home and are ready to have a long lazy Sunday... those are my favorite! my outfit for today is just what i wore to church. sorry but i knew i would just be wearing sweats the rest of the day for lazy sunday! sorry you can't really see each piece of clothing, it was quite sunny!

Here is my outfit blog for the day.... this indian beaded necklace is one of my favorite pieces. It just spices up a boring outfit! i know i wear so many of the same sort of things all the time and so i know it gets kinda boring! but it's comfy and easy...it's what i love!

Valentines Surprise

i have the cutest husband and i just have to tell you what he did for me. He was out of town Valentines weekend so i was a little bummed. I think he knew that i was sad so he wanted to do something cute for me. i woke up Thursday morning to these amazing boots on my doorstep that i had been wanting so bad!! They were not in any stores so i had no idea how he got them! I was so excited! But to my surprise that wasn't all...

The next morning I was cleaning the house when the doorbell rang. I went to get the door and i looked down and there was this huge bag filled with surprises! All of my favorite treats, new socks(which i love), money for a shopping spree, and our favorite movie that we used to watch when we dated! He is so cute, but it's not done yet!

Saturday afternoon a man rang my doorbell! I opened to see a vase of beautiful RED ROSES! WOW I LOVE HIM!

Brods finally got home Sunday afternoon! I was so excited to see him!! We went immediately to my parents house for our valentines day party! When we walked in the door i saw this huge mannequin! i was so excited because this is what i have been wanting for our office! I can't decide what i want to do with it yet but i am so excited!!

On Valentines Day he took me out for my shopping spree!!

We spent all day together and it was amazing! He spoils me way too much! i couldn't ask for a better husband!!

I LOVE YOU BRODS!!

I hope everyone had an amazing Valentines Day!!

FLORAL

I know i am awful and haven't done a blog in a couple days, but i have been swamped with school. i am so ready to be done with it. I know this outfit is a little boring but it's quick and easy and that's what i need most the time. i love this shirt cause you can wear it in the winter with a jacket or in the spring because of the floral print.

Shirt: Forever 21

Jacket: Charlotte Russe

These words of wisdom come from the Avett Brothers and reminded me today what life is really all about...thanks again Seth Avett, Scott Avett, Bob Crawford.

"We came for salvation

We came for family

We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away

We came to break the bad

We came to cheer the sad

We came to leave behind the world a better way"

I love you all.

I know this outfit is a little bright for this gloomy weather but i had to brighten things up a little. I am so sick of the wet freezing weather... i am so ready for it to warm up.

Oh and by the way Im sorry these pictures are a little grainy, i will work on fixing it!

Cheetah

So i decided to start my outfit blogs... hopefully they don't disappoint.

CHEETAH! I am in love with any animal print. All you need is one bold animal print and you are good to go. Mix it with any simple piece and the print just pops.

I love that you can make animal prints urban or sassy.... you choose.

Some thoughts from today...

Russell Westbrook can ball.

Tried guarding him once, it didn't workout very well.

(NCAA First Round- Weber St.-42, UCLA-70).

Swept Away (sentimental version) by the Avett Brothers may be the greatest song ever made. If you disagree, I may punch you in the mouth.

I love her most. She is gorgeous.

My Ombre Hair

AWFUL pictures i know, but its almost midnight so don't judge.

Its really hard to see it in these pictures...i promise i will put better ones up another day.

2011-02-03T21:14:00.001-08:00

So i've been stalking a few blogs that put up outfits of what they wear each week... personally i love them! Sounds kinda weird but i love that it gives me new ideas about how to put things together. I was considering maybe copying them and doing this. I need feedback on whether it's weird, boring, or if people would actually be interested. Let me know!

We will see if i actually ever get to it.

-Cara

2011-02-03T21:03:00.000-08:00

The wedding was a dream come true! Everything was perfect, the day couldn't have been any better. It had been raining all week before the wedding and the day after the wedding it rained again! We got so lucky, it was perfect weather. It was so amazing to see all of our family and friends and to know that they all loved us and supported us. I didn't want the day to end!

Our last night out :(

2009-08-13T11:30:00.003-07:00

The honeymooners...

We spent five days in Cancun and it couldn't have been any better! The weather was blazing hot but amazing. We went to the beach everyday and never got sick of it. Brody almost stepped on a sting ray! He could have died! I was freaking out, but it didnt even bother him. We went shopping one of the days and that was quite an experience. I decided that I am amazing at bartering. A man was asking $80 for 2 pairs of sunglasses! I got him down to $25, brody was very proud. The trip was better than i could have ever imagined!

This waterfall was absolutely freezing!

I didn't dare get all the way in, but Brod was drenched within two minutes! He was shivering for the rest of the hike! I think i was the smart one!

2009-08-13T09:36:00.000-07:00

If you cant already tell by our poses, Lexi and I are supermodels in our camping gear!

2009-08-13T09:32:00.000-07:00

Camping trip #1 was a successful trip!

2009-08-13T09:04:00.000-07:00

We went down the snake river. I didnt think it would be that scary and intense!

But it was!

2009-08-13T08:29:00.000-07:00

Oh we just love to camp... thats why we did it twice in one week
