6 Months: A Photostory of Mr. And Mrs. Shuey.

On December 29, 2012 I married my soulmate, and the love of my life David Shuey. Today marks 6 months that we have been married. They have been full of so much life and love, and have gone by so incredibly fast. Rather than explain all the of beautiful life that we've experienced together, I have gathered some of my favorite pictures from the adventures of our life.

Bubba.

Happy 6 months!!! You are the only person I would ever want to go on this crazy amazing journey with. 

I love you to the moon and back.

Love,

Beeba

Feeling Purple

I've never had a good relationship with my laundry. I avoid laundry like the plague. I generally don't complete my laundry unless I have :

A) Completely run out of underwear

or

B) Could create a bomb shelter out of the piles of clothes hanging around.

Today Dave told me that it was indeed, time to do my laundry. (It's a little sad that my husband is the one that tells me to do my laundry.) So after a long bout of whining, and cursing Adam and Eve for making nudity a problem in the first place, I sorted my laundry. 

I started with my load of whites. I was feeling quite proud of myself. Washing all the clothes. Folding all the clothes. I was beating the laundry. Or so I thought....

When I opened the dryer, I was in for quite the shock....

All of my whites were PURPLE. And I don't mean "oops-I-left-a-purple-sock-in-my-white-purple, I mean "son-of-a-bleep-i-left-my-purple-tye-dye-dress-in-the-whites" kind of purple.

I wish I could lie, and say that it was an accident. That the purple dress hid in the middle of my laundry like a sneaky little spy, but I can't. It was on purpose. The dress had lots of white and light blue in it, so I was worried about the white in the dress getting stained by my color load of laundry. Evidently I was wrong.

If there is such thing as laundry karma, I have bad karma. I don't know what I did to make the laundry gods angry, but I ruined 3 of my favorite shirts, my only pair of white shorts, and my white sweater. The good news is that now I have a purple sweater, shorts, and t-shirts.  The bad news is that now I have to replace all of that. (Or maybe that's the best news....) 

Being a good housewife isn't as easy as everyone makes it out to be. I don't know how my mom did all the laundry for her family of six as long as she did. I can barely do my own. I'm pretty sure after this little stunt of mine, Dave will never let me come near his white t-shirts ever again. Not that I really oppose....haha.

Lesson of the day: Purple tie-dye dresses don't go into white laundry, dummy.

All my love,

Alex Shuey

Garden 2013

Surprise!!! New layout. Let's be honest. I'm not a polka dot, and antique spoon kind of girl.


Anywhoooo....


We are renting an apartment. Which can make the whole having a garden thing kind of difficult.
But! I really really wanted a garden this year. (Mostly because I adore flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables.) There is something so soothing about digging around in the dirt and leaving with your hands smelling of earth that is just so incredibly theraputic.

So this year I did a potted garden. My entire garden is in big pots. I have flowers, tomatoes, and some fresh herbs. I started out trying to plant seeds. I had a window greenhouse. All of my seeds shot up into darling little seedlings. It was so fun to watch. But then, after the 30 germination period, I was advised by the box to let them have some real outdoor exposure. And guess what.

They all died. Every last one of them.

I pretty much felt like a failure. I wanted so badly to grow all of my flowers and tomatoes from cute little seedlings. But clearly that wasn't in the plan for me this year....So I made the very best of it.

Sophie (my baby sis) and I went to Home Depot about 2 weeks ago, and stuffed my little car full of flowers and plants. It was the funnest thing in the world. Cindy (my mother in law) gave me several big pots to plant in, so I didn't have to buy any. Sophie helped me design my cute little potted garden. But I have kept it alive.

I'm a good little gardener. I water my plants everyday, and everything is thriving. I want to get another 2 or 3 planters before summer really hits. I want to get more vegetables. Maybe some squash or pumpkins. (Nothing is quite as delicious as fresh pumpkin cookies in the fall.)


Anyway.

I am pleased to present the Shuey garden 2013.

 Basil

 Lavender (my favorite)

 Cilantro

 Planter #1 (It looks really awkward. I didn't get enough plants. I'm fixing it this week.)

 Early Girl Tomatoes (They come mid-season!!!)

 Hydrangea

 Planter #2 ( I adore the little daisies)

 Yellow Cherry Tomatoes

 Planter #3 (This is my favorite planter.)

My favorite pictures from today.

All is happy and well with the Shuey's.

All my love.

Dr. Krieger.

For easter, we went over to my mother-in-law's house for an easter party. It was good food, laughs, and company. My brother-in-law Greg and his wife Kelsey brought over their dwarf bunny Polly.

Not only did their kids love it...We loved it too. 

Dave and I had been talking about getting a dog someday, and I had attempted on several occasions to convince him to let me get a guinea pig. (He didn't want one...at all. hahahaha.) 

But Dave LOVED Polly. It was so funny to see him playing with a teeny tiny bunny, and really enjoying himself. So after several minutes of begging, he caved and we started our search for a little dwarf bunny.

We called every pet shop in utah valley, only to find out that no one had bunnies because it was easter weekend. I hopped (har har) onto KSL, and in the first couple of bunny listings, I found 5 week old dwarf bunnies for reasonable prices.

We went to the place to pick out our bunny. We saw a little energetic dude, and knew that he was our bunny. He was instantly named Dr. Krieger (after one of our favorite shows Archer.) 

We got our bunny all equipped with everything he needed to be comfortable, and read up on information such as potty training, and getting our bunny fixed.

Dr. Krieger has made us very happy in the last week. He's still a baby, so he nibbles on our clothing, and will have random energy attacks where he bounds back and forth on our couch, but we love him. 

Every newlywed couple needs a pet. It feeds the baby hunger...trust me. Hahaahha.

So that's basically it.
