happy mother's day


Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing mother in the world. She takes such good care of our little angel.
It is easy to see that they are best friends! I love you with all my heart.

i married adventure

two summers ago i was browing through a local indoor flea market. it's one of my favorite places to walk around here in the city. while looking through a booth that was mostly books, i saw the most beautiful book i'd ever seen. even the title was perfect. it's weird to say, but i felt a connection to it immediately. not that i was crazy to read it... i was just so drawn to it's design. sometimes you just have to judge a book by it's cover. the book was marked $7. when i went to purchase it i noticed a sign that stated no purchases under $10 could be made with a card. and i had no cash. so i told myself that i would just come back later. well i did go back. but it was a week later and the book was gone. i've never regretted not buying something so much, like i did with this. so i told grant about it and we started searching for it online. this only made me regret not getting it even more. to find the book cheaper than $60 was nearly impossible and if i did they were copies that were beat up with scratches and too much fading. more common prices ranged from $100-$400. yowza. for a book!? little did i know... this book is quite the coveted piece in the design world! my searches were pulling up all sorts of design blogs and magazines. i was surprised but then... not very surprised. i've even seen pinterest boards that are all about this book. here are just a few shots showcasing it's beauty...

habitually chicfast forward to a few months ago, grant was out driving to work when he spotted a used bookstore. he pulled over, went inside and asked if they had the book. thought it was probably super far fetched since it's hard to find online, let alone in the first bookstore he stopped at. he asked the clerk if they had it and he said yes. he told grant that he was selling it for $20 and grant thought for sure it must have been the paperback version he'd seen online. but then they pulled it off the shelf and there it was!!! in all it's beauty. he brought it home that night and put it on the coffee table. when i walked in the room he said, "notice anything different?"i don't think i need to even tell the rest of the story.

family pictures 2011

a few months ago we had our pictures taken. we were able to squeeze them in one of our short trips to utah. grant's friend kristopher took them and did an amazing job. i've wanted him to take our pics forever. i love the feeling his pictures have, he only shoots in film. you can see his work here. while i knew we were going to get them done, i was rushed when packing and i feel like grant and i both just threw in a bunch of stuff and hoped we could pull something together. looking back i wish i would have put more thought into our outfits but oh well. on top of that, we were actually a bit bummed after we had them taken because trudy was just not herself. she was cold and drooling everywhere and trying to chomp on anything she could get her hands on. it seemed that was the only thing on her mind. we wish we could see more of her personality in these but i guess it's okay since i have a photo shoot with her every day;) at one point during the shoot she was trying to latch on and convinced herself she needed to eat (even though she just had). we tried ignoring it and just playing with her but she wasn't having it. so i had to go sit and feed her. i was somewhat stressed because there is only a short window of time for good lighting, especially when you aren't doing digital pics! kristopher took a few of her and i during this and i think they turned out to be my favorite. there were things that didn't go the way we thought but the pictures still turned out. i guess that's how you know you have a good photographer! oh and utah is so pretty in the fall.

we never take myspace/facebook pictures of us anymore because we don't use our point and shoot. it's not really easy using the slr to do pics like these. so some ended up blurry or with weird angles. whatever. we had a great night at a really yummy restaurant. grant spoiled me with flowers too. and a fridge full of all my favorite treats. i bought him "scrabble slam!" i like our love now better than ever before. just feels so much more real. it's been a great four years. "love and marriage.. love and marriage... go together like a horse and carriage..." i think that is my favorite frank sinatra song. and frank sinatra now makes me think of landau eugene murphy jr. if you don't know him... you are missing out. winner of AGT this year. here is his audition.

all the other kids with the pumped up kicks...

Grant Posting:

So, Britt is out getting her hair cut right now, and I get to hang out with Trudy girl for a few hours. What a freakin' angel. I wanted to take a quick minute to say how awesome my girls are.

First, Britt hasn't gotten her hair cut/colored for over 7 months and hasn't complained at all. (and still looks gorgeous!) I can't wait to see what she looks like ...She may have mentioned something about red! 

Second, Trudy is over 3 months old and since we have gotten home from the hospital has not once had formula. Mom works so hard to make sure she is given (as she likes to call it) "the good stuff".

Lastly, aside from winning the "Most beautiful and smiley baby I have ever seen" award (from me) Trudy is freakin' strong. I am such a proud daddy and here's a video of her, right when we brought her home from the hospital, 4 days old mind you.

and he's all mine

a few years ago, on a saturday morning, i was getting ready for a friend's baby shower. i started complaining about my eyeliner because it had basically dried out and was really bothering my very sensitive eyes. being that it was my own fault (since i frequently leave the cap off) i was even more frustrated. grant felt bad, gave me a hug and kiss and sent me off. later when i got home that afternoon, i had more plans and decided to freshen up my makeup. i opened my eyeliner to find a fresh new tub! then i noticed that it said "i ♥ u" in the lid. my honey bunches of oats had ran to the mall and bought me a brand new one. it meant so much to me. i remember i couldn't stop smiling. how does he just think to do stuff like that? man oh man I LOVE HIM. i haven't been able to throw it away and so whenever i go through my makeup i just decide to keep it. funny how i've been keeping old eyeliner for sentimental purposes. i decided that if i wrote the story down... then i could let go of it. 

also when grant came home later he made me promise that if i left the cap off the new one then i had to use the old crumbly owie one. that is the practical side of my really romantic husband. :)

my perfect valentines day



grant has an amazing brain. he remembers anything and everything. almost every sunday in church, he pulls out his yellow notepad and starts writing. and i always smile because i know what he is doing. for any of you poetry lovers out there, you are most definitely familiar with The Raven by edgar allan poe. if you aren't familiar with it, go ahead and start reading it. because i'm betting you might get sick of it before you are even half way done. it is about 8 pages long and ya, grant has the entire thing memorized. it's quite the accomplishment and i like to tell people about it. not only is he amazing at memorizing but he writes the most beautiful poems. there are a few from his mission that bring tears to my eyes every time i read them. his love for words has completely had an influence on me and i love noticing things that i would have never noticed before.

for valentines he wrote me poem. something that i have secretly wanted for years. i learned of his love for poetry before we were even dating and still remember thinking about how much i would love a poem written by him for me. because of the way he can portray his deep emotions through words, i'm not afraid to admit that i wanted to see how his feelings for me would come out on paper. so here goes another one of those mushy posts. and because this is my happy blog, i can post whatever i want. even dr. suess agrees with me. "be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind".


“Us”
By Grant Barnes

Once upon a time, “I” turned into “us”
And life has been changed forever,
“I” life was great before “us” came along,
But with “us”, life couldn’t be better.

“Us” makes us warm on a cold winter’s night,
And gives us a shoulder to cry on.
“Us” is required to banish “alone”
And “us” we can always rely on.

When going along the pitfalls of life,
“Us” helps keep us out of trouble.
“I” can get by with one set of eyes,
But with “us” our vision is doubled.

“I” without “us” would be a mistake,
Life would be an utter disaster.
“I’s” like a speedboat without a rudder,
Going who-knows-where faster and faster.

“There’s safety in numbers”, Man’s been heard to say,
And nothing’s ever been truer.
There’s also a joy that comes standard with “us”
That without, “I” would never be bluer.

“Us” has the power to generate life,
whether its two lives becoming a new one,
 Or could be two “I’s” who’ve turned into “us”
Giving birth to a daughter or son.

When it comes to things that have gone well in life,
Britt you’re the ultimate plus.
I pray everyday and give thanks up above,
Because, I can’t live life without us.

little mountains of strawberries


last night while getting ready for bed, grant made me a snack. when i came over to my side of the bed... i had hot peppermint tea, a bowl of delicious grapes and mountains of strawberries. i could not stop smiling. he is the cutest. i am so lucky.

he or she?


alright. time for the details. basically the past few months have been very crazy and different. we've barely spent two weeks in our home due to lots and lots of traveling. 3 weeks in hawaii (for work) + 1 week in utah (thanksgiving) + 1 week in clovis, nm (for work) + 1 week in california (christmas) = 6 weeks on airplanes, in hotels, road trips etc. while i enjoyed being able to spend so much time with both of our families... i am so happy to be home in our bed. we actually planned to be heading back to hawaii for a few weeks this month but after a horrible throwing up experience in a random and disgusting mcdonalds... i put my foot down. can't do anymore traveling. i don't really like to complain, especially knowing stories that are ten million times worse than mine but i have basically been bed-ridden for the past 4 months. the nausea is getting so old and so is throwing up. i feel like i have to eat all the time. and i really mean ALL the time. i can have a huge meal and ten minutes later feel nauseous, keeping your stomach full at all times has become almost a stress for me. i feel like all i think about is what i can eat next. not because i have cravings or just want to eat... but because i know i will be bending over the toilet if i don't. i think it's getting better. it's sort of shifted from all day to mostly in the mornings (5 a.m. to around noon). i am very grateful for that. i feel horrible for anyone out there who throws up all day and for their whole pregnancy (my mom). not being able to keep anything down would not be fun and i am so grateful for the good solid hours that i do get almost every day. and really, when i think about it ... i will do anything in order to have a healthy baby. unfortunately because i have been so sick... i haven't really taken any pictures or written anything down. but oh well! i can only do better. i've read a lot and i really enjoy that. i absolutely love learning about what is going on inside me. we found out i was pregnant on september 30th. as of today i am 18 weeks and 1 day along. i'm due the 5th of june and we are absolutely ecstatic. i've recently been able to feel the baby and nothing makes me smile bigger. feeling little movements make me laugh. feels like popcorn popping in my belly.

grant has been absolutely amazing. from the minute he wakes up he jumps out of bed and runs to the kitchen to find me something to eat for breakfast. he has done the grocery shopping and also made the meals. i have made a few dinners here and there but i can barely go in the kitchen without wanting to die. i love him so much. he is such a selfless person and a very hard worker. he is going to be such a good daddy.


so we find out the sex at my 20 week appt. january 17th. at first i was a bit bummed that it wasn't earlier than that but now i am glad. since we are still decorating and working on projects, my goal is to have all the rooms decorated before the 17th so that then i can just focus on getting that room ready. still can't believe i am finally going to be able to decorate a nursery. would you believe me if i told you that i pretty much already have all the decor that i want for that room? he he.

any guesses on what we'll have? or what we want? we've had names picked out for both prior to this pregnancy. i can't wait to find out what it is!! oh and i have to say, obviously we are super excited for this baby but reading all the congrats comments below was and is so fun and makes it even more exciting. so here is a big hug from us to all of you. friends are the best.
i'm getting so excited to hold a baby in my arms. especially a newborn. i have always loved that newborn stage and i want to soak as much of it in as i can. tiny clothes and especially shoes just melt my heart. life is beautiful and god has everything so planned out and organized. watching my body change has been so interesting... he made our female bodies so perfectly for bringing a child into the world and then to take care of it. at least i try to focus on that when nothing fits and i only wear pajamas... :)
other than all of that big news, we've managed to sell two cars and buy two cars. paint the living room. unpack and organize our house from top to bottom. have a fabulous christmas (where our families SPOILed us to death). watch some good movies and just enjoy our time together. here's to a new year everyone! i want to make it the best one yet!

p.s. before i forget i just want to say thankyou to my shop customers for being so patient with me these last few months. i had to put my shop on vacation because it was too much for now but i do plan to open it back up eventually when things settle down a bit more.

tres anos

Photobucket
so this year we spent our third anniversary (october 12) in a u-haul driving all day. we made a 24 hour trip to utah to bring back all of our stuff in storage. we figure even though that may not have been ideal for celebrating... we are in hawaii right now and we can probably count this as our celebration ;) we are here for grant's job. both of us had never been here before so it's new and exciting. i love seeing random chickens walking around and i'm very tempted to chase them. we are on the side of the island where parts of jurassic park were filmed and it is beautiful.

i love my granty poo. he is so sweet to me. i still can't wait to see him every day. he works so hard for us and i appreciate him so much. he is my best friend. the way we know each other now, i could have never even imagined. hopefully that made sense. i feel so lucky to have him by my side for the rest of my life.

amen.

july twenty seventh, nineteen eighty three

grant has been working about 4 hours away from where we live for about a month now. the area he's been in has been great for us as well as the company. the downside is that he leaves every monday morning and then i don't see him until saturday night. this last week i went down with him and stayed for the first half of the week before i had to come back and chaperone our stake youth conference. it worked out great since his birthday was tuesday. we made the decision to go down together very quickly which made planning his birthday a bit more difficult for me. kinda funny celebrating a birthday in a hotel room. plus the town we were in was a very small farm town with only a walmart, so i had limited resources. we planned to get him a new suit for his birthday this year and we will for sure get to that when we have more time. i got him a birthday present a few months back and i've been really excited to give it to him; a leather scripture cover. i bought it from this company, i really really love their stuff. all of their products look so much better in real life. i thought the idea of it and just the style fit my granty poo perfectly. and as it turns out... i know him well. can't wait to see him in a new suit holding his scriptures in his new case. 

july 27th is quite the special day. he proposed to me three years ago on that day (his birthday). and i'm so grateful he did. he has changed my life. it is just so awesome to me that i get to spend my life with not only someone who i'm incredibly crazy in love with, but having his example around me constantly makes me feel so lucky. he has a ba-jillion qualities that i love and want. i hope that i can be more like him every day. when i see pictures from the night he asked me (read the story here) i can't help but smile from ear to ear. cheesy? probably. but the thing is... it's true! i can still see his face looking up at me while he was down on one knee... "give me the best birthday present ever, make me the happiest man alive!"

dear granty poo poo poo


oh hello my sweet. do you remember me? we have barely seen each other in this fun month of july. i've been blogging a lot lately because you are never here. and since we didn't get to talk much tonight here is a recap on my day. today i went swimming in the pool. aren't you proud? i actually jumped in! it was nice swimming around. i couldn't do any laps because there were these people (who came to the gate claiming they forgot their key but i suspect that they don't even live here) who were playing marco polo and they were just all over the place and it just made my swimming around awkward. i talked to a good friend after that and we got caught up on each other's lives. i came home and threw some laundry in, cleaned the kitchen, made myself some dinner (i hate making dinner just for me, so i resulted to tostadas. and for the record if i ever go on a diet, i will NEVER omit sour cream. i mean that would just be a nightmare) and watched some modern family. it was the episode where phil catches up with his ex-girlfriend. do you remember? and the best part is when phil says "why is everyone doing that sexy voice?" i also laughed out loud when phil says "honey? your doing that thing where you're saying what i wanna hear but you have a mean voice?!?" ha. hilarious.

i tried to listen to catching fire to get caught up with you but you never text me back to tell me where i was. because i forgot which disc i was on. well actually you did text me back but you were too late. and that is fine. because you are busy. also my brother blake called this morning. he was in the atlanta airport calling me before his direct flight to peru! of course for the first ten minutes of the conversation i couldn't even ask him any questions because he was too busy asking me questions! (as if i were the one about to fly to another country all by myself and teach people the gospel in a different language!) but i bet that doesn't surprise you. my brother mckay called too to tell me that he won his baseball game. tomorrow he plays in the state championship! and if that isn't enough, he is actually pitching the whole game! man i am proud of him.

oh also, i think i want to go back to being a brunette. i know, i know. but see i just feel so much fresher or something. i don't know. remember how you are obsessed with mustaches and always have been? well don't get any ideas now, even though you look pretty cute in this picture. i mean, handsome. i know you think that all honorable men have grown at least one mustache in their life... but you see... i think you really just need to understand that mustaches are for pedophiles. oh! and that reminds me! guess who is listening to the police scanner right now? yep, me. nerd alert. i wish you were listening to it with me. i clicked on chicago since it's the top feed. right now there is a man waving a gun around to cars driving by. okay and now he is shooting it up in the air. just dropped it and walked away. you'd think i would be scared but i just love listening so much, it's so intense. i feel like a detective. but just an fyi, i never want to live in chicago. listening to chicago and then switching to provo utah is almost comical.

well anyway if you can go to this link on your phone, you should. it's my new favorite song that i have listened to over and over. it's so fun to dance to. be surprised too because it's not a phoenix song!

i love you a lot and miss you so much. thanks for working so hard.

p.s. i hope you are drinking enough water.

love me.

why i love my husband #333

Photobucket

last year grant had the idea of making organic teething rings. we had so many friends having babies, we thought it was a perfect idea (however i'm wondering now if maybe he just wanted a good excuse to buy another tool). he found some wood at some random guy's woodshop and started right away. we had to figure something out because he was using all his tools in the kitchen. which i'm pretty sure is supposed to be the place where you make food. sawdust was not tasting good so he built his own woodbench and worked outside. after practicing some wood teething rings, he brought me his first little animal, the hippo made from walnut up top on the left. i fell in love! it was so beautiful. after cutting out the shape, he would spend lots of time sanding each down so that they were as smooth as can be. then he would apply an all natural beeswax and mineral mixture which seals everything in (which actually is a better option than plastic since no bacteria can get inside). it was hard for both of us to give them away. especially because we gave our favorites away (besides my walnut hippo up there). we gave them to some of our really good friends and know they will take care of them well :). aren't they cute? grant is so talented at everything. he is much more of a perfectionist than me. and sometimes when i think he is being way too picky (... halloween costumes), the end result is always worth his time. i really think he can do anything. whether it's to sell an alarm to anti alarm people, sight read piano music, teach someone how many bones are actually in the wrist, make a look alike anthropologie lamp or build me a bike, find the most amazing antiques or play one of the hardest sports and rock at it.... he is just amazing.

they really love green chile here

i think it's clear that life is just much more entertaining than the blog world these days. i guess we all go through phases. i like it here. the weather is beautiful, the people at walmart are so nice and friendly, there is more to do than i thought and grant is doing wonderful. our past summers we spent days off exploring all the thrift stores and antique malls we could find. there were lots on the east coast but i am happy to say that there are lots here too. i wish we had all our stuff in one place so i could just admire all of our fun finds that will one day go in a home. my favorite thing is to actually have something in mind and then find it! it's so much fun.

so recently i have come across something that has CHANGED MY LIFE. its called blue bell icecream. it is the yummiest ice cream i have ever had. made in texas and apparently exclusive to certain states. definitely not in utah yet or i would have known. anyway they have it here and since we've been here we've gone through 4 half gallons (2 gallons) so far. my family is coming to visit next week so i will definitely be loading up the freezer with more. pistachio almond is sooooo yummy. they even have cookie dough bars. cookie dough on a stick! and yes you get a chunk of cookie dough in every bite... (my dad will be so happy). don't know how i ever lived without it.

grant and i learn more about each other every day. i love that i get to spend my life's journey with him. i still feel so lucky every day. our communication gets better and better. for example the other day i spent hours in the fabric store (also hobby lobby "creative center"- love that place) and was really and i mean REALLY excited to show grant that night, what my next projects would be. so when i picked him up later, i had already thought ahead about how i could make our conversation go just the way i wanted. i said to him "so i have some stuff i got at the fabric store that i'm really excited to show you, can you just pretend to be my girlfriend and get really excited? it would mean a lot to me". let me also just add that learning to even just communicate that.... i mean let's just say i have come a long way. i never knew that i needed to tell him how i wanted him to respond, (how does he not know to jump up and down and act like fabric is the most exciting thing in the whole world??!? i mean hello?!?!) so anyway by the time we ate and got ready for bed, i could tell he was tired. i pulled out my stuff and i had all of his attention. this is when things went downhill. of course since he was looking at me and listening... i started taking advantage of that and talking WAY TOO MUCH. going into details about how finding a pattern is hard and you really have to have an imagination because the patterns are no where near modern and how they choose the ugliest colors and how maybe i could use these old glass buttons i had for this and how hancock's sales are so weird and random but at least they have them and........ well i noticed he was getting a little distracted. so i told him that i had waited all day to tell him this stuff and it didn't really seem like he was that into it. he then expressed that he was exhausted, had already been listening forever (hahah that part is so funny to me) and he just wanted to hang out, play on his phone and relax. then i just felt stupid because who wouldn't want to just lay down and relax after knocking doors for 10 hours. i felt so bad and so we came up with a conclusion, when i have something to tell him that is a little more on the girly side and i really want him to be excited about, i will only take about five minutes and just get right to the point. if i need more than that then i should probably just call a girl. i was very grateful to just appreciate our differences instead of getting offended or something, (still trying to understand why mixing patterned fabrics doesn't give him a surge of energy...??), we smiled and then kissed. maybe more, i don't know. but the point is i just love him.  i can't wait for one day where our differences will never ever be frustrating, when they will instead just makes us laugh. i think we are on our way there.

happy birthday britt!!

24 years ago Brittany Marie Jones (now Barnes... thanks to me) was born. Every April 15 while the majority of Americans scramble to figure out what number goes where on their 1040's and scurry off to the post office stressed out of their minds, I have something (someone) a little more dear to my heart to think about. I love my wife. She is so talented. She is so patient. She is so caring. She is so loving. She is so compassionate. She is so intuitive. She is so smart. She is so crafty. She is so funny. She is so sexy (can I say that on here?). She is so spiritual. She is so intriguing. She is so Brittany.

I think she deserves the world and I try to prove that to her every day, if you want to leave her a sweet birthday message, feel free to comment on this post.

Also, Britt has been swamped between working at Shade (even modeling for them! click here), doing her wardrobe styling services for clients, and making flowers like crazy. She won't say it but she has been doing really well with all of them! I don't know if she wanted me to say anything but she has a few new flower designs that are already selling like crazy and they aren't even in the store yet. About that... BRITT'S FLOWERS ARE AT UNIVERSITY MALL STARTING TODAY!!! For the next 10 days you can get one or ten of Britt's Pretty Blossoms at Shade Clothing at University Mall.

Lastly, if I (Grant) should have you or your husband's phone number please text or call me (My old phone is somewhere in the Turks and Caicos Islands along with all my contacts) so that I can have your/their number.

reason #492 why i love my wife











































My wife has P.M.S. It's ok though. All women have to deal with it. As a result, men do too (because we love our women so much). Anyone who knows me, knows that I love my freakin' amazing wife more than anything, even when this beast comes to call. I was raised in a household of 5 boys, no girls. Including my father, in the count we outnumbered my mother 6 to 1. Needless to say if the beast was around then... I never even knew it existed. I consider myself a rather "middle of the road" kind of guy and one thing I love about Britt is that she deals a bit more in the extremes. Between the both of us we cover the whole spectrum. Well, Britt's affinity for the extremes hold no bounds during that time of the month. One minute she's trying to blow my house down and the next she can't keep her little hands off me! I can't help but love her even when the Britt I get is the first of the two. Last night was one such night.

It was approaching midnight and Britt started getting her typical late night hunger pangs (nothing new there). But, this was a little different. ...a little more picky and a lot more whiney. Rice-a-roni. She ached for it. It went something like this:

Britt: "I. am. starving."
Grant: "Go eat something."
5 minutes later...
Britt: "Uhhh I'm freakin' hungry."
Grant: "Eat something already."
3 minutes later...
Britt "I am so hungry."
Grant: "Do you want me to make you something? What do you want?"
Britt: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't know... Nothing sounds good!"
Grant: "We have plenty of food."
Britt: "Nothing sounds good."
Grant: "Ok..."
Britt: (makes really annoyed sigh)
1.5 minutes later...
Britt: "Rice-a-roni sounds good."
Grant: (sigh)
Britt: "All I want is Rice-a-roni, nothing else sounds good."
Grant: "Well then make it."
Britt: "It takes forever!"
Britt: (sigh)
2 minutes later...
Britt: (sigh)
10 seconds later...
Britt: "I really want Rice-a-roni"
Grant: "You want me to make it for you?"
Britt: "No... It will take too long. I really want it though."
Grant: "You sure??"
Britt: "Yeah, I'm fine."
5 minutes later...
She-beast Britt: "AHHHHH! ALL I WANT IS CARBS!!! THAT'S ALL I WANT!!"
Had enough Grant: "Ok then..."

Wanting to prove to her we had all the carbs she could want, I preceded to the kitchen. I dumped the contents of a laundry basket out all over the floor and grabbed anything carbohydrate and filled the basket to overflowing. Trisket crackers, Saltine crackers, bread, bagels, pitas, tortillas, chips and ramen noodles walked into the living room with me. Britt all snuggled up on the couch couldn't be more puzzled at the sight. I walked straight over to her and dumped the entire basket on top of her. We both laughed uncontrollably. In the end I think she only ended up eating 2 Pringles.

It is times like last night that I realize how lucky I am that I married my best friend.
