The Move Continues.

Surprisingly a couple weeks ago I decorated for Valentines Day!!!
LOVE this holiday. 
Wish Mr. felt the same.

So we are still moving and yes, it's final hit me. 
Once I got over the overwhelmed panic mode and realized I need to just DO IT or else I would never feel better about the never ending To DO List ahead of me. I got to work. I'm the type that has to get it done, not because I like it but because I have to, if I don't I'm a reck. I can't wait till the last minute on things...that causes me anxiety, which I can't stand. 
OHHHHH guess what we FINALLY found a place...a place that's never been lived in--WHICH is a total first for us. It's going to be a big change from living in a 102 year old house (literally) to a place that will be finished 3 days before we move in. Sorda excited for a dishwasher, non molding shower, and a sink that doesn't leak or shock me. It will be a great feeling having FRESH CARPET...well until Pippa takes a crap on it the moment we walk in the door. 
Craigslist stuff is selling like crazy, thank goodness for people who want my junk. 
WELLLLL not all of it's junk, some of it I'm actually really sad about giving up, BUT hey on the bright side we will have more room and less to move. Every room is packed, besides the stuff that we use everyday. Pretty good I must say. Thanks to all the help we have been getting. 
We are exactly a week away from leaving this state. 
Wahoo. 
The stress of moving is almost over. I hate the feeling of a torn apart home, but there is no way around it. We have to live with the boxes and clutter for just a little bit longer. 

 Have you ever been to Lush?
 They have one in SLC and I love that little smelly shop. 
Everything smells and feels amazing.
 I broke down and bought a Bath Bomb. 
 Andrew got his diploma in the mail a few weeks ago too! 
Now our double frame is complete. 
 Did ya know that gelato helps you di-stress? 
not really, but I could do some scientific research to publish and confirm my hypothesis. 
 Pippa has been following us around like crazy while we pack up the house. So sister play dates are a pleasant surprise. Energy release for 3 hours and then she sleeps until noon. 
So great. 
This was my salon last week, mid-move.
 See what I mean? 
Going through your stuff is actually horrible. 
You realize your two garbage bags away from being a horder. 
Not cool. 
Every item I throw in the "goodwill" pile I ask myself WHY!! 
Why do you have so much STUFF!!!!???? 
WHY?
 So this is a good thing for us, starting over, selling all of our decor and furniture besides the staples...
ya know...couch, bed, desk, tv, coffee table. 
That's it. 
 This week was my sister Sarah's 17th Birthday! 
We devoured Rachel's Heaven & Hell cake, 
heaven because of the taste & hell because of results the scale will show you. 
 Pippa can sleep anywhere, even on heads. 
I admire this.
 Wish I could sleep like a rock and snore away. 
This week we went to three movies BECAUSE we organize, pack, and clean all day and then it hits us that we have been home all day and NEED to get OUT but not do anything aka movie is a great option. You have to have a little reward...something to look forward to besides a box. 

NYC Visitors.

A couple weeks ago my cousin Shayla also known as SHEAZ according to my phone contacts. A name I came up with when I was 12 or 13 who knows when 
and I thought it was really cool and ever since it stuck. 
So anyways it was two nights of Eugene fun, or as much or as little as this town had to offer. 
 OPH is an easy one, def must. 
 My brother in-law is
 single 
and ready to 
mingle. 
 After breakfast we burned off out cakes and went on a walk, well the Frandsens ran we walked since um Pippa is the worst walker in the world. She hates it. 
I understand, it's not that much fun runnning anyways. 
 SEE what I'm talking about. She doesn't move. 


 Well peeps this is EUGENE. Skinner's Butte has the best view to see our little city (I feel weird calling it a city because it's far from it. ALTHOUGH we ARE getting a Nordstrom Rack...of course right when we are moving...is it a sign?)



 Then after all that we Mr. and I enjoyed my parent's 
Christmas gift at Gervais for some Aveda goodness. 
Massage, foot soak, and spa shower I THINK SO! 
It was a glorious 2 hours. 
ben and shayla enjoyed Pitch Perfect while we were "busy" getting pampered. 
Okay side note, BUT I have made a final decision that 
spa gifts are the best gifts you can give and recieve. 





 LOVE our gift mom and dad!
THEN we headed to Dickie's for some all american grub. 
Shake, fries, burger. 
DONE. 
 THEN we headed to the movies (round two for B&S) and 
we were in a sorda rush so we split up candy store was a must. 
So Mr. and Ben drop us off at the candy store and to our disappointment there was this sign:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, back in FIVE minutes, WE DON"T HAVE TIME FOR FIVE MINUTES our movies starts right now! 
Well it turned out to be TWO minutes, which was well worth the wait. 
Can't do a movie without candy. 
Sorry. 
Just can't. 
 THEN the next morning we hit up Off the Waffle. 
For some unique waffles. 
 THEN we all did some research after that, our research happened to be at Tj Maxx while Ben's was in a physics book.Then after shopping we did some hair. 

 THEN after that it was family dinner. THEN after that it was goodbye, so sad. 
Great TWO days with the Frandsens.
Hope we get another 2 days soon.
