1, 2, 3


Dress: Nordstrom; Vest: Nordstrom; Bangles: Target

1. THE BACHELOR. McKay and I watched it last night and were dying laughing at the intro. Could they make them any cheesier? My fave part was when Sean said that he "wants to be sombody's rock" or (I don't remember which) "wants somebody to be his rock," WHILE posing by a rock. lol. But, we love him and he is our favorite Bachelor so far. And McKay and I did practice the perfect kiss (according to Arie). And McKay was terrible. And so I tried to show him how to do it and he laughed and said I was "creepy." But now that I think about it, I remember watching Arie kiss Emily and McKay and I thought it looked really gross. I guess we suck at kissing. My favorite girls are: AshLee (I think, but she was kind of a brat to Tierra), KACIE, Desiree, and Sarah. And McKay's is definitely Sarah. He thinks she's really sweet and down-to-earth. And I think he might have kinda almost cried when she was telling her story. That's just an assumption...but...

2. This weekend we went to the mall to get shampoo. We always park in the Nordstrom garage and when you park there, you obviously have to walk through Nordstrom no matter where your's going in the mall. So we went in, grabbed the shampoo and were walking back to the car when we passed the Nordstrom shoe section. And I kind of got sad, because I really need shoes. We have been married for 2 1/2 years, and in those 2 1/2 years we have bought me two pairs of shoes. TWO. And one of the pairs are sandals from Old Navy, and the other pair were Nikes... so in my book, those don't even count as shoes. So there we were, walking past the shoes and I made a comment:

Me: McKay...I really really need shoes. I have bought one pair in our whole marriage. From Old Navy.

McKay: What do you mean?! You got those!
(Pointing to the Nikes)

Me: That doesn't count.

(pause)

McKay: Okay...you need shoes? Okay.

(looks around)

(beckons lady)

(picks up the shoes I have wanted forever)

McKay: Excuse me, can we get these in a size seven?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then he took Jax up and down the escalator so I could try them. And then I hugged and kissed him all night. And it seems stupid, but I don't think he will ever know how special moments like that are to me. And it cannot be explained. But it's more than just buying shoes. A lot more. 

3. I love this guy


he's my best friend.

  1. The intro was so cheesy and the while chat he and Arie had - awkward. Why do they do that?! I think I like Sarah best. Where do they find some of these girls?!
    I adore your hair! Pretty pretty lady.

  9. Haha the Bachelor is so cheesy... Clay and I were dying laughing at so many things.. But you gotta love it! AshLee and Kacie are my favorites! (Maybe just because AshLee is a professional organizer though) And I love it when husbands just "get" us.

  11. ahh, I wanted to watch the Bach last night, but my hubs wouldn't let me because the national championship football game was on (boo).
    I think I'll get caught up during nap time this afternoon. :)

  12. Hey Ali! First off, you are a doll! Happy New Year! So glad you got those bracelets ;) The Bachelor/ette has got to be some of the cheesiest T.V. material out there! I didn't get to watch last night because I was watching the game (p.s. shocked that you got McKay to watch with you, he wasn't watching the game?!) but I'm an avid Bachelorette watcher and think it's hilarious because they ALWAYS do stuff like "be a rock" on a rock. Love it.

    Second, what a great story with the shoes! McKay is the man. Let's see some pictures of these babies! I totally agree with you, there is something special about getting something you really have your eye on, even if it is a material thing!

    Third, Jax is the cutest. I thought I had commented on your last post of 2012, but I mean to say that shot of him on the present is the sweetest thing ever and my favorite picture of him!!

    perfectly priya

  19. What a winner that McKay, good man. Good grief, I need to get onto whatever savings plan you guys are on, I would be a millionaire if I stopped buying shoes. Feel free to share posts on your money management too, I sure as heck would read! lol

  27. 1. cute smiley Jax!
    2. love your stripes & jean vest.
    c. I agree with McKay on Sarah--she is lovely. Kacie is my fave, but I have a feeling she has a target on her back the whole time. I also liked Leslie and Ashlee.
    and d. what kind of shoes are they?!

  31. Awww, moments like that in a relationship are telling. People have to know each other really well and know how much things mean to do things like that.

    Throwing around money isn't the same at all.

  32. wow your hubby is such a winner. and you are a winner for picking him out of the entire world!!
    so wait, did HE pick the shoes you've always wanted? because that's even more awesome and cute and hearts flying everywhere!! <3

  45. The shoes story. I just died. THAT is the cutest thing i've ever heard and is actually SO ROMANTIC!! I would probably have a heart attack if my husband ever caught on to hints and if he ever even knew what shoes I was obsessed with. SO cute. good job mckay! haha.
