Hola El Paso

Zach and I went and celebrated his new job and getting my diploma. 
It was much needed, 
it hasnt been the easiest time here for my in El Paso
so it was really nice to just go out and have some fun 

Friday we went to PF Changs {yummmmm}
then went to the new Pirates movie...not sure if I really liked it. 

Then Satuday we went exploring the other side of El Paso. 
we drove around
when to a pet store and found the cutest puppy ever!!
looked at some apartments on the east side of town, just in case we move here after Zach graduates
we have some ideas on where to move. 

it was much needed and a good weekend. 

It is kind of pretty here...

YUMMMMMMM!!!!


just wanted to show everyone, literally how close we are... crazy. I know.

Green Thumb?

As many people know, Im not a huge "outdoor" person...
why Zach married me, I have no clue... {lets hope its for my dashing good looks and not my ability to have fun in the dirt...haha}
anywho, 
growing a "garden" here in El Paso was something that Zach and I though we would do to make it feel more "homey" here. 
{as i said before in another post}
But, I have been amazed out how exciting it is to actually see plants grow. I do most of the watering because Zach has to work early.. Which has left me at home most of the day. 
{desperately need a job!}
It has been really great to see these little babies grow. I really cant wait to actually EAT one! 

Back to the no job thing, it is driving me crazy, I didnt bring my sewing machine, and I dont really know a lot of people here.. So it has left me with not much to do besides
tend to my plants, read a book {something borrowed} and watch a series of shows on netflix{drop dead diva, super funny... you should watch it!}
I have applied to more places than I can count or remember... So here to hoping that something pops up soon... {cross your fingers for me please!}


So that book that I said I was reading, Something Borrowed, its a pretty good book.
sorry its backwards... photobooth...

I think I like it so much because the author Emily Giffin writes in kind of all over the place fast paced feeling... kind of like I think in my head {not sure if that just made any sense whats so ever!} Anywho, So i thought I would go see the movie... Even though they are totally different and I still like it. Total girlie movie.

A lot of the reason I like it was because I was looking it up and saw pictures of this girl:
Ginnifer Goodwin: "Rachel White"
I wish I was brave, because if I was I would totally cut my hair like hers.
I jsut dont think I have a pretty enough face for that...
What do you think?!


until next time

ps. Id really like...
donations are welcomed : )

Hello from Texas

We are here in El Paso! 

Zach and I made it down after two days of driving!
nothing...

was all we saw for about two days on the way down here....
it was still a pretty drive... just not much going on! 

we got here and stayed in a hotel for a couple days till we found an apartment...
which is a whole story in itself... but i wont go into that..

We got to go to our new ward on Sunday... a felt a huge sigh of relief. 
The ward here is great, and we felt so much better after being there, and met a great couple 
that is in medical school down here in El Paso! 

So far we have been:
+settling into our new apartment
+ getting to know the area
+having dinner with new friends and Zachs new boss
+planting a little garden {tomatoes, sugar snap peas, green beans, and pretty flowers}
+trying to stay cool!!! its really hot here!!!
+oh and we went to the ZOO!
I even got to talk to my Grayson man! mom put a pony in his hair...
