Becoming Blog Obsessed

Yes, I played hookie today and skipped class. Actually both Dom and I did. We are bad, I know. There is a legitimate excuse though. Domenic and My sister Keitra's husband Issac have been going out 1-2 times a week for the past couple of weeks to hunt for elk! So here I am, spending my lonely days sitting on my bum and blogging. Not that there isn't dishes or laundry to do, I just prefer a little R&R sitting on my bum :)


I have also recently discovered "freecycle". It's like a D.I. but people can advertise things they want to get rid of, and the best part, it is all for free! It is kind of fun to look at some of the stuff people are getting rid of! even if you don't want anything, and it is an excellent way to junk your old stuff!


Okay, so I know I am maybe not the best about posting, but I do love changing my background. You may have noticed that I have changed the layout like five times within the last hour or so. Pathetic, I know, but this may just become my new favorite past time.

Now all I need is for people to read it so it is actually worth my time ha ha.

I did add some sweet music, that I am very proud of. The site I used is super cool too! You should check it out, they have almost every song you could ever want on a playlist and it is FREE! Can't get better than that.

Out with the boys

So, believe it or not, Domenic Sanelli went out hunting this year with my brother in law. I wish I could have been there myself to see it, although I know I would not have been able to handle the intense hiking and freezing temperatures up in the mountains. I did however, manage to get Dom to take a few pictures.

I must say, I am very proud of my hubby. After all, he isn't used to this out-doorsie kind of stuff, and this was his first time hunting...ever.

Domenic, Isaac, and Isaac's friend from work Aaron were out hunting for elk and deer, but it seems to have been a pretty tough season. We had 2-3 neighbors who also went deer and elk hunting and no one caught anything! Those dang animals must be pretty smart. Either that or everybody terrible hunters. I prefer the first :)

It would have been nice to have caught something, considering that the meat of of an elk would feed my sister and her husband as well as me and Dom for an entire year! Oh well, better luck next time.

Although, one night while my sister and I were waiting for our hubbies to come home, we saw this white truck pull up, and what do we see in the back? ANTLERS! or so we think, so here we are peeking out of her window and the guy driving the truck was probably thinking we were psycho weirdos or something, but we were so jealous!

So after looking into the bed of the truck for a few more minutes we realized that the things we were getting all jealous over were STICKS! We could have sworn they were antlers. Ha Ha, how embarrassing.

Here are some pictures from a couple of the hunting trips they took:

Above is a picture of one of the ridges they were sitting on. I guess Elk like to hide in the brush so it is easier to see them from up high.

The Grand Teton Mountains!

Dom. What a goof ball. This is one of the only two pictures taken of him. Nice mexi stash huh? That is what you get when you are a guy and wake up at 4 in the morning to get out hunting by 5 a.m.

Some Indian cave painting that the boys found while hiking around. Pretty cool huh?

If nothing else, the sunset was worth the trip.

Home Sweet Home

So we finally finished decorating our apartment (Okay well like a month ago, but I have just been too lazy to put pictures up) in good old Rexburg, Idaho. Thanks to everybody who helped us out! (Cough, Dom's parents, cough) without you guys, we would not have such a sweet apartment and we would probably be sleeping on a blow up mattress as we speak.

So, I just have to put a little disclaimer down before you see any pictures. Our apartment is pretty old, we love it, it is a perfect place for us to start out (and it is dirt cheap!) But, don't mind the baseboard heaters or the carpeted kitchen, it is all part of the experience :) We are just dang lucky that our bathroom isn't carpeted too, Yikes!

Our Kitchen! Oh baby, check out that carpeted floor.

The shower curtain is brown, green, and creme. That is kind of the theme we were going for in here.

The bed belongs to my sister and brother in law, who conveniently live one floor below us in the same apartment complex! So much fun.The Spare Room Take 2
The Dresser wouldn't fit into our bedroom so we decided to put it it the spare room. It actually works really well. Just a suggestion for anybody who has little room, get hanging closet organizers! They save so much space, we have two of them in our master bedroom closet and love them!Sorry a lot of the pictures are blurred, stupid camera, what can you do?

Our Wedding

We finally got our wedding pictures!!! Yay! Below are some of our favorites, taken by a very good friend of the Sanelli Family, Jenny. If you are interested in her work, visit her website: http://www.olsonphoto.com/.

Here is a little taste of our wedding day. So, there I was, August 23rd, 3 a.m. in the morning and I hadn't gone to sleep yet. First big mistake. Looking back, getting two hours of sleep the night before did me no good on the big day. Little did I know what was in store for me in the next couple of hours. So the schedule looked something like this, go to bed (3 a.m.), wake up (6 a.m.), hair appointment at Gene Juarez (7 a.m.), Make-up (8 a.m.), head off to the temple (be there at 9 a.m.). Already, at 6 a.m, my day was hectic and very fast-paced.

The temple session was beautiful, It was very short and very sweet. It seemed like within ten minutes we were married! (although I guarantee it took longer than that:). I loved every minute of it.

So, after pictures had been taken (around 11:30 a.m.) we headed off to the Sanelli's house for the luncheon. The food was so good! What was even better was that both Domenic and I were able to get out of our wedding clothes and change into something a little more comfortable. Tuxes and wedding dresses may look nice, but you do not want to be wearing them longer than you need to.

After the luncheon we had a chance to catch a little shut eye. So nice! Especially since the two of us only got about 3 hours of sleep the night before.

Next on the agenda was the reception. The reception was absolutely beautiful! A close friend of my family, Susan Watanabe, did a tremendeous job on our wedding reception decorations. So, after standing in line for about and hour, we decided to cut our cake, which as delicious as it was, started falling. Sad, I know. After the reception we joked that it was the leaning tower of pisa, it seemed fitting for an itallian-ish wedding. (Pictures and more details are soon to come).

All-in-all, We could not have asked for a better day. It had been raining all week long, and then miraculously it was sunny for our wedding (which was a serious miracle because our reception was out-doors) and then it rained again the following day. Someone was looking out for us, thats for dang sure!

Anyways, enough of my blabbing, I'm sure you want to see pictures! I know that is what I look forward to at least!
