My sister, Amy, did a post about all her favorite things around her house. I loved reading it and felt like I knew her a little bit better. So, I'm copying her. Here are my favorite things...

I love these pictures of me and Jake. The small one was taken the day I first saw him after his mission. The other one is my favorite of our wedding photos.


This "Family" sign was given to me by my brother-in-law, Glenn, for Christmas one year. It is a good reminder of what really matters. Because they don't make signs that say, "Dirty Dishes."


We got this shower curtain at Target a few days after we were married. I think it's one of the few items of decoration that hasn't been switched out in the last three years! Even though we have shower doors, I still put it up because it is just so simple and pretty.

My sister, Melissa, gave this to me for Christmas 2006. I had many conversations with her and Amy and they told me to enjoy being pregnant. And I did! Until I was about 8 months and Jake was literally rolling me out of bed! But it was a special time and this reminds me of how fun it was to watch my stomach grow and how fun it is to watch Jenna now.



I love the closets in our place. The are huge. There are 4 cabinets above and 4 drawers below which means we have so much storage space!


This arrangement of pictures is above our couch. I got the mirrors at IKEA for $1 a piece and the other frames were on super clearance at Michaels. The picture of Jenna is one of my favorites because it's such a gentle picture of her. I think I'll probably be switching them out soon, though. It's time to update!


This was given to us for our wedding by Mona Anderson. I know her from the ward I grew up in and she is one of the nicest people I know. This hangs above our kitchen sink (where I spend a lot of time) and is so pretty to look at. There is so much detail that I notice something different every time. A lot of love went into making this!


And here are some pictures of Jenna... my FAVORITE girl!
