I would like you all to meet someone very special to me.
Someone who has just come into my life recently.
Without this someone....I would be lost.
My new coffee maker. The Delonghi Automatic 14-Cup Drip Coffee Maker that has a built in timer.

p.s- Bevan's right. I am an addict.
So here in a few days, Bevan and I will have been together for SIX years. It's amazing how fast time flies. In honor of this occasion, I thought I would share a little bit of our history.
Bevan and I met when I was a senior in H.S, and he was in nursing school. We both worked at Shopko, where I had been for about a year or so- and he was hired on as seasonal help. The first day we ever talked, I was assigned to show him around, and our first assignment was to clean up the picture aisle. It's amazing because I can still remember that day vividly. Instantly, I had a crush on him for many reason.
A. He had tattoos.
B.He was in a band.
C. He was sooo incredibly smart, which I found very attractive.
D. He was not afraid to put me in my place. I will admit, I tend to be quite spoiled- and I loved the fact that he was not willing to take any of my B.S
However, he had a significant other (who he had been with for about two years), as did I ( but mine was a stupid highschool thing). So from that point on, we were really good friends, and hung out together as often as we could. We would go to shows together, or watch Star Wars- or go out to lunch.
Finally, graduation comes-and the day after I graduated, I went back to Kansas to have my last "responsibility-free" summer (and boy did I EVER. Another time though.)
During the summer, I actually started dating (for the second time) a boy I had been "in love" with since the ninth grade. We made all these plans that I was going to go back home to Idaho, stay for one semester, and then I would move back to Oklahoma, and we would go to O.S.U together. Well, at summer's end, I reluctantly moved back to Idaho- and within a few days, Bevan and I were hanging out again. One night, he finally spilled the beans and told me he was in love with me, and that him and his long time girlfriend had broken up.
And as they say...the rest is history.
(This is just the shortened version. There is a LOT more to the story, but I HATE it when people just ramble on on their blogs...like I'm doing now...so I thought it was time to end it!)
A couple pics from our Paris honeymoon. I will try to find some oldschool pics and scan them in.
...putting my crafts on this blog. This blog is to be about Bevan and I- not my crafts. :) So, all of my crafty type stuff will be moved to my Messy Bess blog- which I believe is:
messybess.blogspot.com.
But I will post a quick blog to let everyone know the for sure address, and when its up and running.
Two new hats for ages 2-6.
I can't wait until the Festival of Trees to try and sell these!
Tonight while avoiding homework and watching Jerry Springer- I got an idea.
Sometimes I will think back to when I was in High school, and I will wonder about a certain person- like whatever happened with their life.
I have actually reunited with a few people from HS through blogspot- but I thought, why not make a SHS class of 2002 blogspot where everyone can get updates?
Popular, unpopular, athlete, drama nerd, whatever...it would just be really cool to see what everyone has been up to!
SO....here it is:

Follow the instructions, and spread the word- and we'll see how many people we can get!
The past two weeks have been busy busy busy! Between going back to school, work, family visits, and just every day life- we have been really swamped.
Tomorrow is the end of my second school week! I can't believe two weeks have already gone by...which means May will be here in no time. I do have a lot, and I mean a lot of homework-which I have yet to do. I was naive for thinking that 17 credits my last year would be easy. It's alot harder than I ever thought.
.............................
In other news, my little brother(22) is visiting from Hawaii!! He is stationed on the Marine base there and got back from Japan not too long ago. He has been here for about two weeks, and doesn't have to go back until Sept. 14th. His wife and little girl Addison ( the cutest baby ever) are living with my mom until he goes back- so I've been spending a lot of time with them. My moms parents also came for a visit this past week from Cape Cod. I literally had not seen them in about 5 or 6 years, so it was really nice catching up. They also invited Bevan and I down to stay with them on the Cape and do some sight seeing in Boston. We're going to be taking them up on that offer sometime next year, which Bevan is really excited about.
On Saturday, my little sister(17) and I will be driving down to SLC to pick up my grandma on my dads side! She is coming to visit for about a week- which I am really excited about. Her and I are very close- and it's so refreshing to have so much family around.
Sorry for the lack of pictures! I have not been carrying my camera around with me. But before my brother and grandma go back, I swear I am going to get some pictures!
Until next time...
