celebrate.

my birthday was a few weeks ago. it was pretty great.
this was the first birthday that brandon and i could celebrate together in 3 years. (he barely missed it last year) so he was quite cute and had little surprises for me throughout the week.

these are the photos from the weekend. 
thanks to everyone who made me feel special.

today i came to my parents house and found my mom in almost the same outfit as me.
skinny jeans...button up...flats...and necklace.
my dad even said you guys look the same today. this is pretty unusual because dad never notices our outfits. actually i should say clothes because he would never use the word "outfit".
 
i took this as a HUGE compliment.
i love being told i'm like my mom. she is my role model.
she has taught me about fashion, shopping, and most importantly EVERYTHING GOOD IN LIFE.

honestly she is my best friend. she knows me inside and out.
we laugh, talk, and cry together. most of my cherished memories include her.
she is the greatest example to me. i hope someday i can be a mother just like her.

i love you mom.
you. are. the. greatest.

inconvenient timing.

wednesday we paid off my car. we were so excited that we were able to cut down some of our debt.
i have been so worried about putting money away for savings and having some for emergency's.
so when we had the opportunity to pay off the car we jumped on it. i was so excited. i feel so blessed.

friday was the utah state vs. byu game. b, britt, austin, and i were headed down to provo to go to the game.
we thought that we left early enough to miss the major traffic. we were very wrong.
long story short... we got rear-ended......
all i could think about was we just paid this car off.
then i felt a rush of emotion. we were safe. no one was hurt. 
the car will get fixed and it will be like new again.

i needed this experience to remind me that there are more important things in life.
even though it was a good thing that we paid off the car, I needed this to feel the saviors love and remind me of the things that i really need to focus on.

(mas here are a few pics of the car...not too bad. oh and pair of undies we found while waiting for the cops to come. I LOVE YOU!)

happy birthday jack.

......................................................................................................................................................................
last sunday jack turned 7! we were so happy to celebrate with this guy.
as soon as we arrived to the party jack asked to see his present. we showed him the box and he then told us that it was a "small box":)
b and i told him that it was a small box but had a BIG surprise inside.

uncle brands really wanted to get him a d rose jersey, turns out...he loved it!
he got lots and lots of presents, even a card full of money. he said he was going to use it at the jump zone.
we sang happy birthday and had delicious cupcakes frosted in his favorite color...blue!

you can't forget about miss hallie. this girl makes me smile.
she decided to wear a swimsuit, crown, and heels to the party. this girl can walk in heels better than i can! we love you hals.

jack, hals, and leila are the closest nephew and nieces on the davis side. so its really fun that we get to see them on a regular basis. b and i loved celebrating this special day with jack!

happy birthday jack, we love you!!

i have a problem. a pretty big problem.
i'm a SHOPAHOLIC.
i've known for a long time that i have an obsession with clothes, shoes, and anything pretty.
i would die to live on the upper east side and be blair waldorf. 


but it hit me tonight as i was packing up my "fall" clothes to take from my parents house to my new house.
the back seat of my car is full of lovely sweaters, pants, tunics, and blouses.
and i'm thinking to myself i really need want a new pair of boots.
 
HELP! if anyone has any advice....please share! oh and try not to laugh too hard at me!
