Torleif Knaphus
Today there is a private exhibit of Torleif Knaphus' art. Torleif is Alex's late great grandfather! He was an amazing sculptor. His most famous piece of work is the Handcart Pioneer Monument. It was so fun seeing all of his work! I had no clue that he was also such an amazing painter! These two paintings were some of my favorite!
I love this bas-relief sculpture that he did of Christ at the well with the Samaritan woman! So beautiful! It was definitely my favorite of his work!

Laundry...
I am really starting to hate doing laundry! I have a little bit of O.C.D. when it comes to my clothes and Alex clothes! They have to be folded perfectly and everything has its own spot so that way you know whats missing! I'm a bit crazy, I know! But it takes me so long to put everything away! Last weekend I did 12 loads of laundry!! That is a bit ridiculous! I hate it that you think you have finally caught up but then the next week there is at least 4 more loads to do! It never ends!

3,518.44!!!
3,518.44!! That is the grand total amount of stuff that was in our suitcase! It is ridiculous how fast clothes and shoes and makeup add up!! We sent in the claim to them and hopefully we receive the full amount or I will be even more upset with them! Less than .05% of people that fly ever have their bag lost permanently! Aren't we so lucky! It has been the biggest hassle ever!!

Abercrombie Winter Clearance!!
I love Abercrombie's clothes so much! I hate how expensive it is though! But every year they have their Winter Clearance Sale! I always try and wait to buy all of my favorite sweaters then because they go on sale for at least half off! I got such a steal on the coat! It was originally $200 but I got it for only $50!!

Celebrity Crushes Part 3.....(the blond edition)
Today is another round of celebrity crushes! We still haven't run out! I noticed that most of our crushes have darker hair so this month is the Blond Edition!!
I have always had a bit of a crush on Paul Walker, ever since She's All that! He is so gorgeous!
Alex has a huge crush on Kendra Wilkinson! She is so funny, sporty, and cool that watching her on Girls Next Door, I wish she was my friend! But I'd have to keep Al away from her! Just teasing! I have a crush on her too!
I love Denise Richards! She is so gorgeous and so funny! She is so beautiful! Alex totally loves her too!
