5 packages

please excuse the poor photo quality. while the iphone takes some awesome photos, my poor kitchen lighting and quick snaps don't really help.

1.  emily's wedding decorations

emily had this cool vintage carnival wedding theme. i asked my mother [who made everything] if i could take these pinwheels and the fabric banners [not pictured] back to utah with me and use them to decorate my classroom.

package no 1: arrived today in the mail [maybe yesterday because i didn't check the mail??].

2. shoes

ding dong. my shoes arrived. that was fast! friday - tuesday, only 3 business days.

i am obsessed. they look tall...and they are. it's like a 5 inch heel, and 1 1/4 inch platform. but when you're 5'2" 5'13/4" and still shorter than your husband, it doesn't really matter.

 

package no. 2: first check off that ole' wishlist.

3. granola

this is an awful, awful picture. blame it on the kitchen lighting. and the fact that i snapped before i focused. actually i never even focused it.

i made these raw homemade granola bars last night for steven as a grab and go breakfast since he'll be leaving early in the morning. ~35 cents a bar. and ~124987 times better tasting and better for you than clif bars, powerbars, nature valley bars, etc. 

[recipe adapted from a friend's blog and another blog. will post my recipe after i perfect it next time.]

package no. 3: individually packaged granola bars

4. babies!

[insert photo here]

i will not because i ordered 3 baby gifts last night. it took me like hours to decide what to get. 2 are for a teacher i taught 2nd grade with who is having a twin girl and a twin boy. 1 is for baby boswell. i am pretty pumped. these will arrive in a few days.

package no. 4: in transit

5. vitamix

ordered this beaut today. so not really package #5, because it hasn't arrived yet. but in a couple weeks it will. 2nd item checked off that wishlist.

by the way, this is what they use at jamba juice. and on iron chef. and in a lot of other place.

package no. 5: processing

tonight's menu...
