Oregon!

This past weekend was my cousin's mission farewell in Oregon . She and I did a lot of growing up together and I really wanted to be there. Besides, aside from the honeymoon, Tim and I had never really gone on any kind of road trip together... sad... so we went! And it was so fun! My mom and Amy and the little boys decided to go too, and Amy had the GPS, so we followed her. It worked out pretty nice. I think we could easily make this road trip thing a regular happening, Tim is a pretty fun car companion, and I love to go see things! We'll have to see what we can map out next... Oregon today, the world tomorrow!

Pool Party

My wonderful father had a birthday last week, and what says Happy 51st Birthday Dad! like a surprise BBQ and pool party with all of your kids and grandkids! So much fun! I really love surprise parties!!! Tim and I snuck over to Boise and my siblings kept everything else quiet... at least I think they did, maybe he really wasn't surprised. We had a blast anyway though! Happy Birthday Dad, sure love you!

At Grandma's House

Tim had to work all day today, so I packed myself into the car and went down to Idaho Falls for a day of jamming and gardening with grandma and grandpa. I truly am the product of wonderful people, my grandparents are absolutely the best! I left the house today with empty plastic containers and came home with a year’s supply of freezer jam, a fridge full of fresh greens, lots of hugs and some wonderful memories! Love you grandma and grandpa!

 

Living Room Striping

Well school has been out now for a couple weeks, very nice! And as it turns out it had been a while since we last made it over to Boise. Never to fear though, we found a free couple of days and a fun project! Not having your own home doesn't have to be an excuse to put off home makeover projects. Meet mom's living room:

Very nice! Thanks to my Aunt Barbara for the idea and pat on the back to Tim for the straight lines, he's good! And thanks mom for the breakfast at Cracker Barrel, one of our favorites! We'll come paint for you any time!

Year One Down

One year ago today we were married and have been just as happy as two people can be! It's hard to believe it's already been that long. It's awesome and such a blessing to know that you have your favorite person to be with for the rest of forever and we look forward to plenty more joys the years will bring!
