Top Two Tuesday: Things I wanna buy

Oh boy there are so many! I did just get one thing crossed off my list of things I want to buy- my yellow wedding shoes! I decided to go with yellow heels instead of boring white and i looove them. Do i really have to wait till October to wear them?

Anyway here are my top two:
1. A HOUSE. And not just any house. We hope to buy a house in the next 6 months--wahooo to no more renting! And we have thought a lot about where we want to live. Stay in the suburbs like now or move closer to downtown Denver where Drew works. We ultimately have decided we are ready to head back into the city- this means more family time since Drew wont spent 2 hours commuting every day, which is the number one reason. The other main reason is we decided we are too young for the suburbs. We are 23(24 in a week and a half for me and 6 months for Drew) and thought we Should be in the suburbs to raise a family, but we have ultimately decided we are not ready for that yet! This also means we can look at and possibly buy an awesome 1920's brick bungalow verses a 3,000 sq feet 'model home' in the burbs. Those houses are just not us. We would rather have a smaller, unique, old brick house, with build in shelves over a fire place and all hardwood floors vs a cookie cutter house like the ones near where we live now. Plus who wants to clean that big of a house? Not me!! The perfect neighborhood filled with these beautiful old brick houses also happen to face the most amazing park in all of Denver! BONUS!

2. New furniture for new house! (Whenever it happens) I love the idea of an old, old house with brick walls but filled with modern furniture.

Well there it is!

I feel like summer is almost over!

And its depressing me. Its just going by waaay to fast! We have next week here, and then Friday morning Jasper and I are driving the 10 hrs to spend the week in Iowa. And I'm Really excited about this! While we are back we have lots of stuff going on! Two wedding showers, my bachelorette party, my birthday, Jaspers family birthday party (he turns 3 the day after we get back!) several play dates, lots of family time, and seeing all my friends!

But when we get back I feel like summer is basically over! And I've got lots of things left I want us to do!

Take a camping trip up in the mountains.
Explore more famers markets
Go to the Boulder Reservoir-maybe this weekend!
Picnic at the creek
Splash park on Pearl St.
Estes Park again- LOVE this town
...I'm sure there are more but its a start!

This looked fun: 5 question Friday

1. Do you collect anything?I collect little Swedish nicknacks. And this is a recent thing. When we lived in Sweden we would pass a little antique store and we would always pop in there and always found the greatest things. I have about 30 pieces ranging from little trays, glass plates, wooden shines, little people/trolls. I cant get enough!

2. Name 3 celebrities that you find good looking.
*Rob Pattinson.
*Prince Carl Philip of Sweden. If you don't know who he is google him. He is Gorgeous.
*Katie Perry- I think she's beautiful.

3. Do you have any scars? If so, what's the story behind it (them?)?
Do stretch marks count? Cuz I've got a few of those on my inner thighs and not really a cool story there besides giving birth to a 9 lb baby when my pre- preggo weight was Maybe 110. Other than that I have a scar on my head(mainly under my hair) from a fishing accident in Sweden when I was 4 and a scar on my knee from a rollerblading incident in Jr. high while rollerblading by the hotel where the cute high school boys worked.

4. What is a food that you like to eat, but others might think it's gross or weird?
I don't think I eat anything that weird? I'll have to think more about this one.

5. Have you ever seen a tornado in real life?


I spent 10 years living in Iowa-ofcourse I have. Several. But usually when tornados were around I was hiding out in the basement- but a few times when driving home I've seen them in the distance.

Wedding colors and Question.

Were getting married in October and our wedding colors are black, white and yellow. I want to wear yellow shoes and even think I found some that I want. Yellow flats with a strap around the ankle. But both of my friends that I've shown the shoes to think its silly to have yellow shoes. But I WANT THEM.

What do you think?? I need feedback!

Top Two Tuesday: Favorite Summer recipes

This one looked fun! Can't wait to check out everyone's ideas!

First one is super simple dessert. Lemon Bluberry Dessert.
Ingredients
8 oz. carton of frozen whipped topping, thawed.
1 cup of fresh blueberries
1 8 ounce container of lemon yogurt
Granola

Fold whipped topping and blueberries into yogurt. Spoon into a serving bowl or individual dishes. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Top with granola when ready to serve. Soo delish!

Summer Pasta Salad

Box of boiled pasta salad
some shredded iceberg lettuce
a cucumber
the white part of a leek chopped up
can of corn
a yellow pepper

Mix all together in a large bowl
For the dressing: a cup of sour cream, 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, salt
Add dressing to salad and voila!

So far so..fine.

I'm 6 hours into this only raw fruits and veggies thing and its harder than I thought! It must be a mental thing because I don't usually even eat breakfast, more of a brunch around 10- but by 9 I was hungry. I think its more of a 'cant eat' thing thats getting to me. If you tell me I cant have something- well then that's what I want, or even feel like I NEED.

Here's breakfast and l lunch for today. I ate them both, breakfast at 9:15 and lunch at 12. I've also drank 60 oz of water so far and have been like 6 times already. So so far, so fine. I'm not going to say good because that would be stretching it.


Oh and we weighed ourselves this morning. According to our scale (not sure how accurate it is) I weigh 129 and Drew weighs 150. We will weigh again tomorrow and Sat. morning. Not really sure if the scales will show anything different after only a couple of days.

Looks like my computer is being dumb and doesn't want to let me upload my food pictures.

For breakfast: 20 oz glass of water, 8 oz glass of juice (organic, thick substance almost like a smoothie) a handful of raspberries and some cantaloupe.

Lunch: 20 oz glass of water, 8 oz glass of juice, large handful of cashews, salad ( lettuce, cherry tomatoes, half a cucumber and some salt) half a banana and large carrot.
