Three Year Wife Chart

3 years ago, last night, Don was sick to his stomach. Was it the thought of marriage that was getting to him or food from dinner, [which often makes him sick anyway]?

Well as we were talking last night, his mom brought this topic up, I don't think I ever got a straight answer or ever will. And that right there is what Life As Donswife truly is! Almost never getting a straight answer, sarcastic remarks, bits of bread left on plates and in the sink, singing in the shower and many, many more fun times... But I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

I have filled out this wife chart to check my progress to see how I am making it as a wife of three years...

Highlights:

1- Slow coming to bed - Would falling asleep on the couch really count against me?
4- I was banking on Guitar Hero counting for this one.
5- What is wrong with red toe nails? At least they're painted!
12 a - Jealous of Don's other love, G-O-L-F.
12 b - As long as I get to sleep in, so does he!

**So 89 [before Demerits]-24 = 65....SUPERIOR!

All in all we are both still standing and laughing, so we must be doing something right...

Here's a couple of pictures from our wedding:
[I know people always joke about wanting to put their dresses back on after a few years, but does anyone really do that? I've thought about it...]

...and the winner is...

I want to thank everyone who entered the giveaway...I got MOUNDS of good advice, some of which I am actually in the process of pursuing at this very moment...I honestly can't thank everyone enough!! [the response was also more than anticipated]

So it's the least I can do...

I will be offering free shipping from now until June 15 [the flier says June 9, but I changed it early since I will be out of town]. Check back everyday next week for new things!!

And now for the fun stuff...did I ever mention I just L-O-V-E giveaways? [is it weird that I was giddy, just getting things ready for the drawing??]

TEAM CHILTON, wahoo! Send me your mailing address [torijoandersen{at}gmail.com] and I will get the Felt Owl Bag shipped off on Monday!

Congrats and thanks again to everyone for the input! I really loved doing this giveaway and plan on doing more in the future...

Last Day!

Monday is our anniversary and so we are planning on heading out of town tomorrow for the weekend, so I am going to end the giveaway one day early...so tell all your friends to hurry up and enter tonight by 10:00 MST.

Apostrophy Designs

Apparently I couldn't wait until Friday, I'll spill the beans...I have decided to put my sewing machine to good work and have opened an etsy shop(http://www.apostrophy.etsy.com/). I got such an awesome response from the bag I made for the bag swap I did awhile ago, that I decided I would try making a few to sell.

**Have to thank my awesome sister-in-law AshTab for helping me take the awesome pictures!

So right now I am basically making two styles of bags... appliqued purses/totes & then fabric grocery bags, here are some pictures of each:

Ok, now for the giveaway... I NEED input, it doesn't matter if you know me or not, so I will give away the Owl Tote below to ONE person...
if you visit my esty shop and:
-tell me what you like (or what you don't)
-what you'd like to see in the future
and please leave a comment with the info on this post...

...so simple, eh? Enter by next Friday (June 6).

Do I Offend?

Where is everyone? I know your out there...I promised I showered and washed my hair today, and still no comments in like F-O-R-E-V-E-R...

Anyways, I am new at this but I am going to do a giveaway on Friday, so please come back and make a comment, won'tcha?

In other news, last week I went to Arizona for the first [hopefully not the last] time. My sister-in-law Becca had her Jr High graduation. Unknown to myself, a Utahn, Jr High graduations are a big deal... the girls wear formals and boys wear suits... It was great of my father-in-law, Scott, to throw everything together so the girls could go down and support Becca, we had a blast! Becca is awesome and always fun to be around, I especially enjoyed seeing her room too! [decked out head-to-toe in Jonas Brother's posters]... Congrats Becca!!

What We've Been Up To Lately

This is only part of the adventures that the Andersen's have been apart of... more to come through out the week [seriously].

As part of our kitchen remodel, we decided to knock down a wall to make our house more open...and so far it's helped lighting a ton.

P.S. Anyone know anything about load-bearing walls? I fear for our ceiling...

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night

Boy, oh boy, do I love Saturday Night Live. Last Saturday was the finale [I swear we just barely got TV back!] and since this year is an election year I was hoping to not be deprived of good ol' election humor. Last Saturday was excellent, I am in no way a fan of John McCain but couldn't help but laugh at his antics and the shows pokes at O'bama & Hillary.

There was also Two a-Holes sing Karaoke that was funny, but didn't dare try YouTube because of the weirdness that probably would've come up!
