The Black Family

So Todd brought to my attention that his family didn't have very many pictures on here...so here are some pictures of his family from the wedding.

Happy Birthday Breanna!

Today (Monday January 28th) is my niece Breanna's 1st birthday! She is an adorable girl. This is her and my 5 year old nephew Brendan at my wedding reception. Brendan is such a good cousin. He asks his mom if they can keep his "baby cousin Breanna" at their house. He is so gentle with her and will crawl around on the floor with her. I also have a 2 year old nephew who I couldn't find a recent picture of...but I am so glad I am blessed with the best neices and nephews. I miss them and their mom's! I hope Breanna has a happy birthday (even though she won't know what's going on) and that she enjoys her tennis shoes and other presents she gets. Brooke can't you take pictures with your video camera? Just an idea. HaPpY bIrThDaY!

Who ever said kids were useless?

If anyone ever tries to tell you that kids are useless, then they haven't seen this! Who wouldn't want to have a child now that this has been invented? You will never have to sweep your floor again while your child is in the crawling stage. Sure your baby will look like a freak, but you will save yourself so much time during the day. I thought this was hilarious and wanted to share...back to school work...

Currently Coveting...

I am an online shopper...but I now am an online browser instead since we aren't rolling in the big bucks at this time and as of this week I now have a budget. Although I don't like dressing up on weekdays, I do on Sundays. I love dresses, and I only have 3 that are church appropriate. This one I found at Macys. I think it is so flattering. The belt is detachable so you can wear it with or without it.

These jeans are from the Revolve Clothing website that I just recently became acquainted with. I have been wanting these jeans for forever now, but have not been able to spend that much money on them. I think I should be allowed to though because I still wear jeans from my sophomore year in high school...so they would definitely be used!
This shirt I really like, but could never spend $158 on. It cost maybe $8 to make...that's too big of a profit for the company. I understand that it is this way because it is a "name brand," but I still don't think that it should be ok. {Found this shirt at Nordstrom's.}The last thing (not really last, but all I will post) that I covet (I have been looking at these for months now) are these floating wall shelves from West Elm. They are only $19.99 and would look very good in any room. I would love to be able to utilize them, but I don't think I am allowed to mount anything to the walls in our apartment sadly.
My bargain of the week was a set of 3 picture frames (1 - 8 X 10, 1 - 5 X 7, 1 - 4 X 6) on Christmas clearance (they are not in anyway Christmasey however) for........................................... $2.50!!!! I was so surprised they were that cheap that I couldn't resist.

Oh, I know it is wrong to covet, but I can't help it right now. I will try to work on it. Good night.

My First Real Plant

Todd and I went to Chili's last night because we had a gift card, and it was soooo good! I had the quesadilla explosion salad and I still have alomost half of it left to eat tonight. After we were done eating we headed over to Walmart to get something to put in the empty vase that has been sitting on our table. We got bamboo with river rocks and I love how it looks. Sorry I can't turn the picture, my memory card on my camera is acting really weird so it is not letting me turn any of my pictures.

Today Todd and I went to a ward activity. We ate hamburgers and hot dogs and other good food. They were having a soccer game after lunch, but we aren't the soccer playing type so we skipped out on that. Anyways, that's it for now! Hopefully my first plant won't die any time soon. The only kind of plant I have had is a cactus because my mom didn't trust me with plants until I would prove that I could keep a cactus alive :)

Banana Splits

Todd and I went to Costco the first Saturday that we were here in Hawaii...which will be 3 weeks from tomorrow. I bought bananas when we were there and they are taking FOREVER to ripen. Three of them ripened finally this week, I think Wednesday, and ever since we got them I was wanting a banana split. I told Todd that as soon as they ripened I would make it. Well last night I did! I took a picture of it because I was proud of how it looked.
I think that everyone should make themself a banana split because it is the best! I am so grateful for my taste buds. I can't imagine life without tasting food. It would not be fun for sure. Oh p.s. I did go to sleep last night at like 3:30ish and I woke up in the morning not tired at all! I am starting to feel it now some though.

Reception in California

Todd informed me that I didn't post anything about the reception in California. So here it is. My mother-in-law worked super hard to make the reception great! It was all desserts, well not all...there were croissant sandwiches also, and the rest was pretty much desserts. We had 4 delicious cakes from Freeport Bakery which is the best bakery ever for cakes. We also had maccaroons, cream puffs, cheesecake bites, napoleons, eclairs, homemade caramels, chocolate bar things, lemon bars, peppermint bark....and much more! It was delicious and we had so much food after that to keep eating.
My parents (pictured below) were able to come out for it as well which was great! Not only was it great seeing them again a week later, but I also had forgotten a lot of important things that I needed for school and life. Todd and I got up early the day after the reception to hang out with them before they took off back to CO. We went to In-N-Out with them also because my mom & Todd both love it. I like this picture of my dress so I decided to post it.
Well now it is 3:04 in the morning and I have to get up at 7:12 to get ready for class, so I think that I will attempt to sleep again. I will post more. I have billions of wedding photos that I will be posting if I have nothing else to talk about.

This is awful

It is 1:46 am on Thursday night and I can't sleep. It's my worst nightmare not sleeping. I have been crying as I lay there trying to fall asleep and Todd is playing Halo because he can't sleep either. What is wrong with us?

I found this cute week planner/organizer thing on the internet and I was going to buy it last night, but I decided to make my own instead and I duplicated what you see below.

I was really excited that I made it because I saved $8 of buying it (plus shipping)! Also, I did splurge and spend some money the other day on this:

Actually on 3 of these...one black, one brown, and one white. These are my necessities in life. I wear one under everything everyday without fail. They are extra long so it makes it really nice not to have to worry about short shirts, or low pants. I had to buy some new ones because I lost 2 of my black ones, and one of my brown ones. Also, the last time I bought them they came in a different material that I don't like as much...so I THINK (I am 99% positive) that it is coming in the good material this time.

Let's see what else I can talk about. Pictured below is a craft I would like to attempt. You cut cereal boxes and cover them with wrapping paper or fabric and use them to hold/organize different folders, books, papers, etc. They also do it with milk cartons also for pencil/pen holders. Now I just need to find some cute wrapping paper that would look good.
Well I think I am done for tonight. I told my sister Brooke [who is the only person who really looks at my blog anyways :)] that I was going to try to blog once a day now. So I have done it 2 days in a row so far. I might go to every other day since school is being a killer. Good night. Hopefully I can sleep now.

Reception in Colorado

We had a reception that night in Parker. We set everything up the night before so we wouldn't need to worry about it on the wedding day. Both Todd's and my family worked for 3 hours or more setting everything up. We had pizza and pies and soda (thanks to Todd's parents!) which made it more fun!

Our cake was delicious! It was a chocolate cake with raspberry mousse filling...all made from scratch.

The food was also delicious even though I didn't have that much time to eat. We had three choices of soup, really good breadsticks, and salad.

My mom made all of the food beforehand with some help from ladies in the ward. I am so grateful for my mom for spending so much time preparing for the reception! She helped out a ton. So did everyone who came and set up and took down everything. I can't thank everyone enough!!

Welcome to our new and improved blog!

I changed my blog now that my last name is no longer Snoy. Todd and I got married on December 18th, 2007 at the Denver Colorado Temple.

We had many friends and family come from California, Virginia, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. It was such a fun time being able to hang out with both sides of the family and have everyone get to know each other.

This is everyone that was at the temple either in with us or waiting for us after:

The weather looks like it was nice but it was actually pretty windy outside. My toes felt like they were going to fall off. This is me warming up inside because I was freezing.
