I moved, in May, to a little one-bedroom apartment. All...by...myself. Having no roommates has never been so great. Let me tell you.
It's been fun getting to decorate. So, here's a little snippet of my room:
When my sister came over and saw my place she said, "It's very Sarah." I am most definitely taking that as a good thing.
Having my own space is fantastic.
Looky look at what I picked up!
Isn't is super pretty?! The cover was designed by the ever fabulous Jessica Hische so of course I had to pick up a copy when we were at Barnes & Noble the other day.
I think I might start collecting Pride & Prejudices...next stop: Peguin Classic.
I just realized the other day that it was a year ago that I got on match.com.
"I was only planning on doing it for a month," I said to Mike yesterday in the car.
"I bet you're totally regretting that now," he said (...we met at the end of August).
Very funny, mister.
Oh...and no. I'm not.

I'm taking lots of pictures lately. Which makes me happy.
And do kissy faces...apparently.
Have you read Tina Fey's Bossypants yet?
I have. Well, sort of. I got the audiobook from Audible and let me tell you--best...decision...ever. What's better than reading a book written by Tina Fey? Having her read it to you.
I loved it. And totally recommend it.
I am so loving these tiny little rubber stamps from Nora Jane on Etsy.
Bird Tracks, Set of Keys, Racing Bicycle & Songbird
So cute! I want them all!
Loving all the handmade goodness on Slide Sideways' Etsy site:
Ah! I love it all. I was going to list my favs but it would be everything on their site.
Look at this amazing layered paper art from Crafterall on Etsy:
Isn't that so cool? Not to mention I love that it's Manhattan. There are several more in the shop that will knock your socks off. Love.
There's a really cool exhibit at the BYU Museum of Art right now that has this amazing book installation. I definitely recommend checking it out (pardon the pun) if you are in the Provo, Utah area.
It's running through November so there's plenty o' time to see it.
I had a great idea last week: I should make dinner!! Great idea, right? Well...sort of.
Mike's mom had commented that we go out to eat alot. And we do. We pretty much eat out every day. Like...every...day. So, I decided to look up some recipes, went shopping and put together this uber fancy schmancy meal!
I always have high expectations for my cooking abilities. Not sure where that comes from. I blame food blogs. It turned out ok...and at least I tried. Ha.
1. Turkey Burgers
I've never made Turkey Burgers before and these were good--they would've been better had I been a better cook (i.e. had a bigger kitchen, wasn't so frazzled, and defrosted the ground turkey better).
2. Garlic Oven Fries
I didn't have parchment paper (or Pam for that matter) and they were stuck pretty seriously to the cookie sheet I cooked them on. But all in all, they tasted really good.
3. Pesto Mayo
Ok, so you're supposed to have a food processor or at least a blender to make this stuff and...I have neither. Soooooo...it's a lot more chunky then it's supposed to. The flavor was good and I imagine it would've been awesome had it been made correctly. It was just awes.
The only real downside to this meal is that everything had garlic in it. Everything. I like me some garlic, but this was a little much. So, keep that in mind if you decide to make a better version of this meal (which wouldn't be hard to do).
