yummy toffee cookies




Curtis' parents and sister came in town and spent easter with my family!


all the food wore him out!!

update on the summer

curtis has been very busy working and trying to get his and Luke's business going for the summer. He has been in Texas for almost 2 weeks now. He comes back Thurs., leaves again from the next Sunday until Thurs and when he gets back, he'll pack for Kansas City and leave!

geez, so much for being a newlywed and never seeing him!!! Its ok though because I decided I'm moving too!!

If everythings goes well this summer as planned, I will go from middle of may until august or sept. and luckily my job will take me back after!! phew!! And curtis will be gone Pretty much end of april until Oct.. Seems so long and tiring but we will see!!

I am soo not excited about the 1200 miles drive we both have to do.. alone!! It will probably take me 4 days and maybe I'll do some exploring along the way..

This will be our home for the summer:

keepin' busy!

Curtis is yet again on another selling trip at the moment, it is a full 2 week long trip (but has felt like a year!) Is it too much info to say I feel like a virgin again?? haha. I have to think of things to do to keep my self busy besides working!! these are somethings I have been up to..

1. working out!!


need new shoes..



2. Thrifty thrifty! Did a little more of some thrift store shopping, I will post pics later of some of my recent finds..ps if you aren't a thrift store shopper yourself.. don't judge, you obviously wash before wearing!!



3. My mom, sister, rachel and I went to a free "learn how to make pizza dough/pizza" class and although we didn't get to do it, we sure tasted it annnd it was amazing!! My mom bought Curtis and I a BOSCH for our wedding present, which curtis probably isn't so excited about.. but me! I can't wait to use it!!!




4. Working of course, I only have 2 weeks left of it! sad!

5. Layed out for the first time this season! yahoo!!

6. Did a little sewing on my thrift store finds.. which did I mention how much I hate to sew?? It literally gives me anxiety and I don't have patience for it. (sorry future barton babies, i won't be mending your clothes.. leave that to aunt bree :)

7. Falling asleep to FRIENDS everynight on the couch like I have been doing since highschool! CLASSIC.


8. Watching a lot of the "Food Network" since all most of my shows are on a break until April 19th. If you ever decide you want to watch it "Down home with the neely's" is quite entertaining!




hugs and kisses everyone!!!

no fair!

soo.. I have been wanting to go to New York so badly!! I already have things i want do and see so bad that I didn't do last time!! Frozen hot choc. from Serendipity i've been hearing its amazing, Macys and Bloomingdales (since I worked both places) and much more! I know this is not an easy request (for some obvious reasons) But everytime I see pictures of people going there lately and movies and tv shows et cetera et cetera.. I'm so jealous!! maybe someday later this year for my anniversary, birthday, and christmas present my wish will come true :)

UPDATES and summer plans!!

So this is what is happening with US!...

I have been working at the European Wax Center in Tempe Market place where we just do waxing. (come see me if you need to be waxed!)




Curtis is doing lots of things and is keeping busy!! He is almost done with real estate school (for the second time, he has it in UT too) and has been doing some real estate. He is starting his own ADT alarm company with his brother-in-law, Luke, and I am so proud of them for working so hard on getting it started! They are naming their company FIERCE SECURITY.




So if anyone wants to go sell this summer or even for a few weeks let him know! They are starting out in Kansas City and probably other places?? I hear they are paying pretty well... I might even want to go out there!!:)




We are still living in our gilbert apartment but hopefully someday will get a house while the rates are still so low! Curtis will be gone half the summer selling so I think its on hold for now!

A little shout out to my hubby for working soo hard!!!
Let me just say how much I love my husband and how proud of him for setting goals and acheiving them! He inspires me in lots of ways!! We are so happy where we are at in our lives and hope to work hard and play hard! Married Life is so fun! Don't get me wrong we have our days (he puts up with a lot:)) but overall its been a fun adventure with lots of learning experiences!!!


(these are from his birthday but thought they were cute)
