Have a great week. 

Up-date from our weekend will come tomorrow. Stay tuned 

Bread in a Can AKA Brown Bread

The hubby told a story a while ago about brown bread. (Brown bread for all of you who do not know is bread that comes in a can). He reminisced about the memories that he had as a young child eating brown bread at his Grandmas house, all warm with a little butter on top. 

This past week we had some friends over for dinner and he again talked about his brown bread memories. We all laughed because non of us had ever heard of such a thing. The hubby was determined to prove to us that brown bread did exist, so he and our friend drove to the grocery store to find bread in a can. 

They came back with this... we all had a good laugh

Needless to say, the hubby was very excited. He was very cute with his brown bread!!

The Love through our blog

Hi love! I was just looking at our blog, and it is so great. I love that you do that, and I'm sorry that I haven't contributed more. Looking at it just makes me appreciate having you in my life, and the life that we are making together. I really couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks for being so awesome. I love you.

Today I am missing my homeland....

.......UTAH

The night is quiet

because the hubby is at class.

I updated the etsy shop with lots of fun new things. Please go visit at simplygenevieve.etsy.com........ I will be posting more about the shop at a later day..






Goodnight, I might go start my new book.. or just continue sitting here wasting time watching really bad monday night TV. Oh well!!

She wore a blue poka dotted one piece

I have been on the search for a bathing suit. However, not just any kind of bathing suit. I want or maybe wanted one that would do a good job of covering up the stomach area as well as the breasts. Sorry if that is too much information. From my experience and I am sure many other woman out there will agree, most bathing suits emphasize one aspect of your body, and that would be your breasts. I don’t want that. So on with the story. The hubby and I walked into Costco the other day to do the routine stock up on food and as we were getting ready to head to the check out line we walk right past potentially cute bathing suits. I held a couple up, got the hubbies opinion and decided I would purchase one and try it on at home and make my decision. Well, I have tried it on literally 8 or 9 times. While wearing the bathing suit I have posed in the mirror, walked up and down the stairs, modeled it for the husband, and hemmed and hawed about whether it made me look like a 70 year old grandma (which is not a bad thing, but something that I would prefer not to look like at my age) or if it had the possibility of being something classy with a hint of sexy mixed in.

Because I can’t find a picture nor would I post one of myself up in this bathing suit I will describe it. Pretty much it is a simple dark blue one-piece suit with light blue poka dots all over it, which add a hint of young to the maybe not so young looking suit. The main point to all this rambling is two things; first, is a one-piece to old lady looking? and second where do you find cute yet inexpensive bathing suits for people like me? To end the story, I think I might go try on this blue poka-dotted yet to be determined bathing suit.

The hubby is lookin good

I almost forgot what the husband looks like due to the amount of time he has been locking himself up in his office,
the library, or in his department. However, today when he walked in the front doors he was looking mighty 'hot', I understand that I am bias but whatever. People who know him know that he is not the most put-together dresser which is ok ( i am completely ok with him wearing a black shirt and brown shoes), but today he coordinated everything from his shirt all the way down to his socks. He is now my good dressing husband.

Look at these two love birds

While we were out on Utah for Christmas I took the opportunity to take some fun pictures of my (Katrina's) Mom and Dad. Look out how cute these two are.
