i have a slight problem.

everything i do is slooooooww

like seriously slow.

for some reason the mind of kyrsten doesnt understand expediency.

i probably take twice the amount of time to do anything compared to the average person. even the dishes. sam can whip out a sink full in 10 minutes it takes me close to 45! sheesh!

my mom- who knows how she accomplishes practically every possible thing in a day?!?

it seems as though every person i know accomplishes a lot. at least a lot more than me.

but today i did accomplish something.

my cousin emily introduced me to the most fabulous blog last night. while searching her blog i found this. I was seriously in L.O.V.E. with this idea.

with valentines day just around the corner I thought it would be a lovely gift for my sweetheart.

i think its safe to say that sam rarely reads this blog, so posting it before he actually gets it shouldnt be an issue.

one thing that this girl loves is a little bit of personal art. it adds such a sweet flare to any space. especially when its all about you and your lover!

pretty sure pink wont d0 in our home, but hey its valentines day so i thought i'd add it.

so what do all of these things mean? your probably dying to know so let me tell you.

{palm trees} i love anywhere tropical and warm. take me to a beach and i will be one very happy woman.
{airplane} we love to travel. we have been so blessed to visit some amazing places in our short time together. hopefully we will get to see much much more!
{music note} i caught sam's attention after him hearing me sing a song by one of his favorite bands. we quickly found out that we have the exact same taste in music. music has been a big part of our marriage. (although i am in no way musically talented- i love it!)
{fleur-de-lis} sam served his mission in louisiana. this symbol is a major part of the new orleans style. one of our very first trips as a married couple was to louisiana. i love it there. so does he.
{our initials} duh.
{mustache} once while shopping my entire family bought fake mustaches. we even put one on baby stellas pacifier. we ended up putting one in my dads casket too. kind of strange but a wonderfully fun memory.
{idaho} theres no place like home.
{westfalia} you saw the before pictures of our beautiful new van, we (sam) is in the process of fixing her up. and boy oh boy is she going to be pretty! i cant wait for all of the fun memories we will make with her!
{unicycle} while we were dating sam taught me how to unicycle. we went through a rough patch around christmas the first year we were dating, but he loved me enough to customize my own unicycle even after i had broke his heart. good thing he can forgive and forget. and now we are a unicycling family! :)
{temple} this isnt the temple we were married in, but it is now the temple we live 3 blocks away from. i love having a place that constantly reminds me of how important my marriage and my family is.
{sunshine} i think we both have seasonal depression! we need all the sunshine we can get!
{ice cream} lets be honest... who doesnt love ice cream. yum!

happy valentines day everyone. i have a lot to post about but its almost 2 am. so peace and love!
