We didn't celebrate valentines day till last night. This past weekend was also our 6 year anniversary, but now that we are married I guess we will be celebrating a new date! Our night consisted of me making drew dinner, some wine and our favorite game rook. Then for fun we downloaded the iPhone kammasutra app. That was quite fun and I recommend it if you have the iPhone and want to have some fun with your significant other.... For some reason I can only upload one picture from my iPhone per post, anyone know how to fix that? Anyway, for vday drew got me a deluxe pedicure and an hour massage! Can't wait to go get pampered. My poor body needs it badly after all this painting I've been doing. And we only have two rooms done!

The last few days have been insane since getting back from Iowa. We got the keys to the house we will be renting and as one of my valentine presents, drew got me a cleaning service to deep clean the new place so I wouldn't have to. That might not sound very romantic to some but I cant think of a better present! I was there for part of the time they were cleaning and it felt soooo weird, I'm not used to someone else doing that! I went and bought them lunch to make myself feel better. But they were making 30 an hour, which was more than fair I think. Then yesterday I spent 9 hrs tsping the walls and started painting. 6 hrs of painting and only got a bedroom done. Depressing but it will look so much better w crisp white walls! Can't wait to show you all the finished product!

Playing catch up- outfits 7, 8 & 9

This weekend we made the quickest trip to Iowa Ever. We drove down (over?) Friday night after Drew got off work. It's a ten hour drive and we pulled in to my moms house at 5:30 AM. Looong night! Jasper normally sleeps the whole night through when we drive at night, but for some reason he woke up this time at midnight and stayed awake till 5:30! But at least he was an angel. We have traveled so much since he was 6 weeks old that his car seat is No stranger to him.

The reason for the quick trip was a friends wedding. Drew has been friend with the groom since preschool, and him and his bride (who is only 20!) have been together for 5-6 years and now have a beautiful 5 month old baby. It was a very fun night. Drew's dad came along to the reception to tag team along with Jasper so we got lots of dancing in (with And with out Jasper) and got to catch up with all of our friends.

My first pair of jeggings. That I bought over two years ago in Sweden, because apparently Europe is just a tad bit ahead of fashion in my opinion. I bought them there, wore them the whole 6 months I was there and came home and closeted them. I wore them out once or twice and got some looks, and stupidly I let that stop me. But now that they are becoming popularish here I feel comfortable enough to wear them again so I had to include them in my 30 for 30.

Why yes that is a booty shot, had to do it cuz I feel like they are a big seller for the jeggings.

And seeing these pictures makes me realize how dirty that mirror is! Eek! 

A boy and his bird.

One morning, in the spring of 09, we were playing at our local park in Karlstad, Sweden.

Jasper encountered a bird he decided he had to play with. Here is his story. The picture kind of speak for themselves.

                               He was sitting in this swing when he first spotted the bird.

He followed him through bushes

He followed him through parking lots

He followed this bird around for at Least 20 minutes while Drew followed us taking pictures. When he could get too far behind, the bird would turn around and look at him. Stop. Wait for him. Then hop along once Jasper got too close. The whole time I felt bad for the bird because I thought he couldn't fly- but he was just messing with Jasper! After about 20 minutes the bird decided to fly away, leaving a very sad boy behind. Seriously one of the funnies things I've ever seen.

Day 6! And a delicious dinner.

I've technically done outfit 7 and 8 but those pictures are on my other memory card so they will have to wait till tomorrow.

Jasper wanted in the pictures also, plus we kind of match!

For some reason these tights are looking purple in the pictures, but they are most definitely navy blue.

Dress: GinaTricot, Stockholm

Tights:I think Vera Wang

The back of this dress is a little longer, which is nice for all the bending this mamma does!



On a none clothes note. This was last night's dinner. I wanted to use these yummy looking potatoes I had just picked up at Whole Foods but didn't have a sauce or sauce recipe. So I looked into my fridge and threw together what turned out to be an Amazing sauce! I was quite proud of myself, I usually at least look at recipes,even if I substitute an ingredient or don't measure out the correct amounts. So to whipp up a great meal w/o any recipe is quite an accomplishment for me.

The sauce consisted of butter, chopped garlic, some seasonings (can't even remember now, just threw some in off of my spice rack) and some squeezed lemon. Agh mouth watering now just describing it.

**I know I labeled this meal healthy, which it isn't exactly, but it was served with a side of salad AND every ingredient used was organic, so that's healthy enough for me **
