Moving!

Our time here is up!  We have lived in our Midvale apartment now for almost a year and a half, we re-signed twice, but now our time is up!  We are ready to move on out!  Ian and I are both excited for this change.  For now we will be staying with family in Draper, but in a couple of months or so we will be off to another adventure somewhere in a new apartment of our own again.  Well...time to keep on packing! The end of the month is almost here!

Our Jeep

This is our 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee

We LOVE our Jeep.

As you can see, we drive it everywhere! We can't get enough of it!

This is what we found on one of our MANY outings in our Jeep...

First we came across some deer, so I jumped out to get a picture with one.

 THEN we ran into three large moose! THREE! Right next to the road!

 If you look closely you can see one of them crossing the road in front of our Jeep!

We are SO excited to have our jeep :)

May we have many more adventures like this one in our wonderful new jeep!

Second Hand Shopping

Some of you may know this about me already, but I just have to say, I LOVE second hand shopping.  I would say majority of my closet is second hand clothes.  That may sound weird to you, but I will happily admit I bargain shop.  I always like the variety I find at second hand stores and I love how fun it can be to match outfits and accessories.  There always seems to be something to go with what prize I've found there vs. when I got to the mall and have to shop through four different stores to find what I want and then I've spent $70 on only a few items.  So if you're not already a thrift store shopper, maybe it's time you give it a shot.  You might be pleasantly surprised.  I promise I won't tell anyone you got your outfit for less than what you would pay for dinner ;)

flowered tank top $3, animal print dress/top $8, black purse $4

elegant tan flats $9, gold bracelet $3, gold necklace $3

total for everything you see here $30

Going to dinner knowing you didn't spend a fortune and feeling glamorous?

Priceless

(It's a good feeling not having to use a credit card to look great. Let's get back to spending only what we have. In cash. Who's with me?)

 Don't know where to shop? try my favorites.

Plato's Closet

Savers (Monday's are $.99 days!)
