Among all the other things Jeremy & I did on Saturday, we spent just about 5 hours outside cleaning up the front and backyard. I keep telling him I want to plant vegetables and have a garden in the backyard so we're finally fixing up the yard so I can plant my garden!
We went to IFA and I bought garden soil and seeds! We're going to attempt to grow: tomatoes, basil, carrots, red potatoes, spinach, and lettuce. I basically want to just try to grow the things we eat a lot of anyway and that was the list. I already have raspberries and green onions in the front yard that come back every year, and the raspberries are so yummy!
We're going to work more in the backyard today after work and try to make some planters out of scrap wood we have left over from the house renovations. I really wish I would have taken a "before" photo because the backyard looks so much nicer already and we're not even done yet! I'll take one today as a mid-way photo to show you guys.
I'm so excited to finally have a backyard I can use! I just want to have my little garden back there, and have barbecues and hang outs with friends this spring and summer.
Up next on our list to do:
Paint the fence white. It's an ugly chipped red now.
Build planters.
Buy a patio table set.
Mix in garden soil.
Plant seeds.
Watch my garden grow!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Are you watching The Path on Hulu?
If not, you really should be.
It stars Aaron Paul and Michelle Monaghan who are both babes! I may have little crushes on both of them. It's about a cult in New York, and the story is just so good! A lot of it reminds me of Scientology but the cult in the show is fictional.
Jeremy and I have been obsessed with that show recently and get so excited everytime a new episode pops up. For some reason we can never remember what day it gets released each week but we also won't just look it up. It's a fun little question to ask each other when we sit down with our dinner in front of the tv. I can't keep track of the amount of times Jeremy has asked me "Is there a new Path?" I'm pretty sure it gets released on Wednesdays but who's to really know? The internet. But that's too much work. :)
P.S. We literally never eat food at a table. Is eating at a table the norm still or in front of the TV? We always watch TV when we eat at home and I think it's seriously one of my favorite things! I love a good dinner and TV date! Seriously though, I could probably count the amount of times we've eaten at the table on less than two hands and each time it's because my mama was in town.
Also last night was the best! We both got home kind of late and were too tired to make dinner so we just had bowls of cereal for dinner on the couch, cuddled up to watch The Path and I can't think of a better way to spend a Wednesday night!
Thank you Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and thank you Hulu for helping us have the loveliest Wednesday night in.

LOS ANGELES IN TWO DAYS!
We leave for Los Angeles in two days!!
Well, three days if you count today.
Our flight leaves Friday morning and I can't wait to get away from Utah for a bit. I love Utah, I do. But it sure is nice to escape it for a little bit. Even if it's just the weekend. And best of all, my aunt (who I'm staying with) lives literally like 1.5 mile from the beach. It's a lovely thing!
I keep thinking about how badly I want to go back to Disneyland! I haven't been since I was 18 which weirdly doesn't feel that long ago but also feels like an extremely long time at the same time. I don't think this will be the weekend for it just because it's Easter weekend and I'm sure it'll be especially packed, but I do want to go soon! 6 years is way too long now that I think about it!
Work is crazy busy this week as I try to get everything done before I leave for my trip but I should be able to do everything! I just hate the idea of taking time off if I'm not completely caught up.
Also, last night as I was busily sewing skirts and getting orders ready to ship, Jeremy decided he was going to make me dinner and made the yummiest stuffed chicken with pesto, cream cheese, and provolone cheese! It was seriously so good you guys! Like, so good. So thank you for that, bug. :)
P.S. I just bought the cutest swim bottoms from Kortni Jeane! They're the ruffle Melon ones and I'm excited to get them! I have a pair of pineapple bottoms from her line and I just LOVE them! They are so comfy and cute!

I GOT ACCEPTED TO THE SALT & HONEY MARKET!
HOORAY!
I have really loved going to all types of markets and craft shows in Salt Lake City but especially the Salt & Honey Market. I finally applied to have my shop included in the Spring market and guess what! I got accepted!
My booth will be there the first week of May from May 2nd-May 6th. I had to put my Etsy shop on vacation mode for a bit just so I can build up my inventory for the market and prepare my booth's set up, but the Etsy shop will be turned back on the first week of May once I'm all settled in for the market.
Orders started to pick up and I foolishly thought I could keep up with orders AND build inventory for the market but last night I came to my senses and realized I couldn't do both in time.
So now I'll just be finishing up the last 10 orders I just got and then sewing sewing sewing for Salt & Honey!
This will be the first market I will be in with my Confetti Heart business and I'm so excited! If all goes well, I love the idea of doing these shows more regularly. I grew up going to craft shows with my mama as she sold handmade soap and candles and I think this will be a fun little nostalgia to my childhood years. Also can I just say how ahead of the trend my mama was back then making soap and candles! When I would go to those craft shows I wouldn't ever see another booth selling anything remotely similar, and now it's so trendy to make your own soap or candles! She really was ahead of that trend back then and that's pretty cool in my book. :)
Anyway, if you live in Utah and love going to cute markets, you should go check out my booth the first week of May! It will be at The Gateway in SLC. I'm 92% sure it's in the old Anthropologie building since that's where it was for the Fall show.
Come check it out if you can!

WEIRD LITTLE THINGS
1. I've watched The Office from start to finish I don't know how many times, and I bawl my eyes out when it ends everytime. That last episode is so happy and cute, but makes me cry every single time knowing the show is over.
If Netflix was going to bring back any show for a season it should be The Office! But knowing how bad those remake seasons go, I probably wouldn't want The Office butchered like that. We just watched the second to last episode last night and I know the inevitable is coming. I guess I'll just have to start from the pilot again. Jeremy, you down? :)
2. I brought my yoga mat to my office yesterday so I can take little micro breaks to do some quick crunches and push ups behind my desk, but I haven't worked up the courage to actually do it yet. I should just do it though! My coworkers take a million breaks to go smoke outside so whats the difference between that and me having a quick crunch break? I just know it will be funny when someone walks in my office and I'm down on the floor behind my desk on a yoga mat.
3. I just started the podcast S-Town thanks to my friend Britt who told me about it. Who else is listening to it? I'm just on episode 3 but I'm already so hooked!
4. I keep seeing acai bowls all over the internet but I've yet to try anything acai. Is it worth all the hype? I just watched a video of Aspyn Ovard making one and it looked really good! I just feel like acai really got popular these past two years. Maybe that's what I'll try to make this week!
5. I realized I'm super impulsive in some areas and very slow to pull the trigger in others. I'll explain. A couple days ago I was at work when I got the idea to fly to LA for Easter weekend. That same evening I had convinced Jeremy to go with me and we were buying tickets. (I didn't really have to convince him, he wanted to go.)
But he's been asking me for about a week to pull the trigger on a hotel or AirBnb for another trip we're going on in May and I just couldn't do it! For a whole week I put off booking hotels, but I bought airplane tickets in less than 8 hours of having the idea. I think it boils down to feeling like only after I book a hotel will I find one I like more and feel like I missed out.
6. The last Weird Little Things list I talked about the movie IT and being scared of pennywise. When I wrote that, I had no idea they were doing a remake of the movie! I watched the trailer for the new one a few days ago and it looks so scary! Woof. I don't know if seeing that will help diminish my fear or only increase it. It does look good though!
That being said, why did they make the kid hit his head on the street sign?? That was a weird comical part for a scary movie.

YAY FOR SPONTANEOUS TRIPS!
Last night we spontaneously bought tickets to LA for Easter weekend! And the best part is it only cost each of us $115.50 round trip. $55.50 from Provo to LA, and $60 coming back. I'm so excited! I really can't seem to make it more than a few months without going back home but I'm totally okay with that!
Seriously you guys, Allegiant Air is my best friend airline these past few years and I just feel like I need to tell everyone about it! They have the cheapest flights and the airline itself is pretty decent for being so cheap. I've never had any issues with them. When I was living in Rexburg I would fly home from Idaho Falls to San Francisco for like $80 round trip. It baffles my mind that it can even be that cheap!
This feels like some weird ad and I don't mean it to be. I just love flying everywhere so cheap and when I tell most people about Allegiant they have never heard of it before, so just consider this a little PSA. The more you know! (insert flying star here.) haha
I'm so excited for this little trip! I just need to get out of Utah periodically for my own personal sanity and well being, and I just love Southern Calfornia so much. I love the idea of moving there in the nearish future. Jeremy doesn't care for that idea so much, but I do! I think he would like it more once he goes a few more times. ;)
10 days until our trip! And 10 days until we get to fly together for the first time! We've gone on trips together before, but we've driven everywhere in the past so this will be the first time we get to fly together!
I'll be seeing you soon, warm sunny California!

FIRST WEEKEND OF APRIL
This weekend was busy busy busy. The good kind of busy though. Mamabear flew into town on Thursday so I got to visit with her all weekend which was so nice!
Friday was pretty laid back. When I got home from work I helped Mama make dinner. We had turkey burgers and they were so yummy! We rented the movie Shut In which was entertaining and suspenseful, but I probably wouldn't ever watch it again.
Saturday we worked on the house for a bit in the morning after breakfast. Forrest painted part of the house, while Mama and I cleaned up the front porch and took things back where they belong in the backyard. All my tulips and daffodils are just starting to bloom so I've really been loving our yard lately!
We took Mama to Ensign Peak because she had never been before. We just went to the first overlook because Jeremy and I had somewhere to be and we didn't have a whole lot of time. It was a really nice, clear day so you could see far over the city. I honestly might like that lower lookout better than the higher one because you're not so far away from everything. The higher one just makes you so much further from everything that it's harder to see all the details.
Sunday morning, we went to the first session of General Conference with Mama. I'll be honest, I've never been the biggest fan of conference. It's kind of boring and I don't like that it takes up the whole weekend and makes you feel guilty for doing things on a Saturday. Non-Mormons won't know what I mean, but it essentially is like having church not only all day on Sunday but again on Saturday. It eats up your whole weekend. That being said, being there wasn't bad! I just don't know how much I really believe anymore. But another day for all of that.
I know you can't zoom in on this photo, but if you could, you'd see Jeremy and I look very Tim Burton-esque. Something about this photo made our eye sockets reeeaally dark and we just look a little spooky which makes me love it even more! :)
After conference we made paninis for lunch, and then took Mama to the airport. On our way back we stopped by to visit with Mal because she was in town this weekend. It was so nice to see her! I've missed her so much!
I mean... just look how cute we are! Thanks for being my friend, Mal. I love you girl! I need to go to Seattle soon to visit her.
Overall, it was a fun weekend! I left out a lot but that's okay by me. :)

HAPPY LITTLE THINGS
1. It's Friday! I love Fridays so much! (As I'm sure everyone does.)
2. My mama is here for the weekend! She flew in yesterday for conference weekend and I'm so happy she's here. I think it's raining most of this weekend so we'll have to find fun indoor things to do around the city.
3. I got to visit with Andres this week! He came to town for his Spring Break and we followed our tradition of getting Kneaders. I swear I only eat Kneaders when I'm with him even though I love that place which makes it even that much more special! It was raining all day when we hung out so we both ordered soup in bread bowls only to have the girl tell us they were out of bread bowls. Um, what? You're a bakery, girl, just make more. We were obviously just being divas haha.
3. One of the things I got Jeremy for his birthday is the cutest little happiness journal. You write one happy thing that happened during the day every day, and it's a 3 year journal so you get to look back at your happy thing from the previous year(s) which I LOVE! I love the idea of looking for the happy in each day, but I especially love the idea of reading what your happy thing was exactly a year ago on that day. Here's what the journals look like:
They are so cute and little, and we just keep them on my nightstand so we can write in them together before bed everyday. I got them from Papyrus in City Creek but I bet you could find them at any bookstore. :)
4. It's overcast and drizzling today which I love! I feel like everyone at work is so much more laid back on rainy days and I like seeing that carefree silly side of everyone!
5. I sold 11 skirts so far since Monday and that's exciting! Skirt sales have definitely been growing exponentially over the past few months and it's fun to see my little business grow before my eyes. I'm sure a big fan of being a small business owner. And an even bigger fan of working from my couch in front of continuous episodes of The Great British Baking Show! :)
6. Jeremy turned 23 on Wednesday! I like to tease him for being a baby but I'm really only a year and half older than him which isn't anything. It's just fun to tease. We went to R&R BBQ for his birthday dinner, got Ruby Snap cookies for dessert, and watched a movie! I told him the next day that I wanted it to still be his birthday because I liked celebrating him and having a day just about him.
It's just a happy little week this week and I'm grateful for that! I hope you all have a happy week too. :)

A YEAR OF DATING AND STILL STRANGERS
The other night, Jeremy and I were filling out passenger information on the computer for plane tickets. Well, he was filling it out, I was sewing next to him, when suddenly he got to the information for me and stopped at my middle name section box and asked
"Can you spell it for me?"
I got very suspicious and said "just try" but he sat there longer avoiding typing at all. Then I asked
"You don't remember my middle name do you?"
We've had this conversation a few months ago when I realized he didn't know my middle name at all so I was surprised he still hadn't programed it into his memory after that conversation.
He admitted he didn't know it, and I being a little brat just made him keep guessing. After guessing a couple wrong names he asked for the first letter and when I told him "N" he immediately guessed it correctly, but geez louise! A year of dating and this kid still had no idea what my middle name was.
Then it was just full blown quiz time after that! I made him fill out the rest without any help from me only to tell him he needed to correct my middle name from "Nicole" to Nicolle. (My dad threw an extra "L" in there which I'm grateful he did; it makes a typical name a little more unique.)
I also had to make Jeremy correct my birthday to September 12th. He put the 18th haha. And I had to help him with the year. He started at 1989 and then just kept working his way more recent. I know I have a lot of white hair but not an '89 amount. ;)
Oh goodness, I can tell you everything about that kid but he can't remember the same dumb little things about me. I teased him a lot for it, but I feel totally justified in doing so! Who the heck can't remember a birthday or middle name for the person you love?!
Bless his little heart. :)

Then it was just full blown quiz time after that! I made him fill out the rest without any help from me only to tell him he needed to correct my middle name from "Nicole" to Nicolle. (My dad threw an extra "L" in there which I'm grateful he did; it makes a typical name a little more unique.)
I also had to make Jeremy correct my birthday to September 12th. He put the 18th haha. And I had to help him with the year. He started at 1989 and then just kept working his way more recent. I know I have a lot of white hair but not an '89 amount. ;)
Bless his little heart. :)

FINDING CUTE NEW SPOTS IN SLC
Tulie Bakery opened a second location in Salt Lake City so on Saturday Jeremy & I went!
It's near 15th and 15th and we both really loved it inside and out! It's a cute bakery and has the most delicious looking pastries and baked goods. They have a mini cheesecake with fresh raspberries on top that I wanted but didn't really feel like forking out $5 for it. Jeremy got a flat white and I got a mocha and both were pretty good. Not as good as Blue Copper's mocha, but still tasty.
The outside of the shop has a planter that wraps around the entrance with the prettiest pink tulips! Inside, they have lovely white marble tables and the cutest little white marble bar window seat with fresh cut tulips in a vase as you can see below. Just the feel of the whole bakery is almost exactly what I would do if I ever opened my bakery. Maybe just more light though, they only have the street facing window which is nice in the front of the shop but no natural light makes it to the back. They could definitely use some skylights in there.
After Tulie, we went to the State Capitol building to finally, and I mean finally, see the pink blossoms on the trees! I've lived about 5 blocks from the Capitol for the past 2 1/2 years and it took me all this time to make it over in time to see the blossoms. I don't know how long the pink blossoms actually stay, but it just always feels like the tiniest window of time. By the time I remember and try to make it over, they have all changed.
Overall, it was a lovely rainy pink spring day! I could definitely get used to a few more of these.

I somehow seem to miss it every single Spring! We made it though, and I'm so happy we did! They were beautiful!
