No Match for a Manly Man

Since we moved in there have been a few manly projects that have needed taken care of:

Fixing the vacuum...

Building a book shelf...



But never fear, no job is too much for Manly Man Tim! He's been working on this scruff for a while now and I hate to say it, but this is all there is to show for it...





Maybe beards just aren't for everyone

Home Sweet Home?

Yesterday Tim and I moved into our first apartment together! I'd like to say that it's nice and nothing but the two of us.... but as it turns out we are sharing with 28 boys! We were super lucky to be able to get a management position, which means we won't be paying for rent! Woot!! It's kind of a goofy little place though (read: somewhat creepy). It actually used to be Rexburg's first hospital, if that gives any clues. But the walls in our apartment are an awful pink color. Oh yeah, and our bathroom is actually out the front door and down the hall! It's our own private bathroom, thank goodness! But somehow we ended up with the detached facilities. Should be interesting!

Tah dah! Welcome to Davenport Men's!





And here is the arduous journey... I counted 10 steps it takes me from the front door to my bathroom, a new experience for me I must admit. Let's just hope I never wake up in the night needing to use the restroom, because there is no way I'm making that walk by myself in the dark!

To celebrate our newly-established married life we spent a fantastic week worrying about nothing and exploring Park City Utah. We rented a nice condo there up the canyon near a lake and had a really good time tromping around the area as lovey-dovey newlyweds! Somehow we managed not to get very many pictures though, I can't believe it... bum deal

The one there on the top right is at Lagoon (tickets courtesy of my dad and Dianna, huge thanks!), and I am kicking myself for not having the camera more handy. Tim pulls some awesome faces on roller coasters! However, the ski pictures are by far my favorite! That is actually how I look when I hit the slopes, graceful and impressive-like. Tim's equipment should be more spread out all over the hill though if we're going for complete accuracy.

From He and She to We

On Saturday August 1st Tim and I were married for time and all eternity in the Boise Idaho Temple. It was a long day for sure, and incredibly hot... but otherwise absolutely perfect!! Both of our families were able to be there, it was so much fun and we couldn't have asked for anything more wonderful! Huge shout out to my fabulous planning committee and thanks to everyone who helped make this the most special day of our lives!! Here's to being a Borup!!!

Big thank you to my wonderful sister and amazing sister-in-laws (Amy, Steph, and Jaylene) for your camera work! We now have not one, not two, but three sets of bridals, pre-wedding, and wedding day shots! You gals rock!
