3 Years Down......Eternity to Go

Wahoo for me and handsome.....we celebrated our three year anniversary last month.

7.11.2007

What a fabulous three years it's been! Marriage brings a lot of ups and downs, but what a blessing to have your best friend there to help you through the tough times, smile with you through the good times, and laugh with you until you cry times.
I am so grateful for my stud muffin husband. Even though we didn't meet two years earlier, (like we were supposed to) we are so grateful to be on this journey together.

Who needs HGTV.....

I have been working on some projects around the house. We have Austin's grandma Jenkins' coffee table and I have spent countless hours at the DI looking for furniture to fix up and use in our house. Here are a couple of my finished products.

Date Night at Wahooz.....August 7, 2010

Austin and I decided we wanted to do something fun last Saturday. We decided to do something we hadn't done in a long time.......miniature golfing.
Red ball-Shawnee......Yellow ball-Austin
They had bumper boats......need I say more?
AWESOME
We played some skee ball in honor of my grandpa Tanner. He is pretty much the all time grand champion skee baller.
Just for the record Austin and I tied our miniature golf game. I was going to add our score card, but something is totally wrong with our scanner.....and that might be over-kill just a little bit.
(I did take a couple of cheaters, but really who's counting? Plus remember the "beehive serve" from young womens? I figured they were just like that.)

We also got our pictures taken in a photo booth. It was super awesome. I haven't even seen a photo booth in years.
I absolutely love, love, love this picture of our cute grandparents. They are such amazing examples of love and service......and are so much fun to be around.

Hike

Austin and I went for a little hike a while back. We came across this fellow....
The picture doesn't do it justice. It was seriously a huge beetle.

Visit from the "Little Girls"

So all growing up my sisters and I were categorized, to simplify things. Jordan and myself were "the big girls", because we were the oldest. Kelsee and Emma were "the little girls" for obvious reasons. Whitney seemed to fall under which ever category was best.....she was a floater. Also, it should be noted that my "little girls" are not so little anymore, since they both have 4-6 inches on me.

However, back in June after Emma's graduation Emma and Kelsee made a trip to visit everyone. It was super fun to hang out with "the little girls" for a couple of days. We hung out and went shopping. It was super fabulous.

We had dinner at Texas Roadhouse......Yum (who needs Red Robin?)
This is a super good reason why you shouldn't wear reflective gear while taking a picture. But on the other hand, you can't miss him.

Come again anytime girls!

Start Seeing Motorcycles.......

I realize that this is the second picture of a motorcyclist in Idaho......but I couldn't help but take a picture.

I took this picture on my way home from taking Austin to the airport. Do not worry, I was stopped at a light. This guy had 4 grocery bags on each arm. Don't you think their arms would be hurting so bad?

Playing at the Park....

Dean's Blessing Day.......


Dean with his uncle Curtis. Curtis was the best man at a wedding in Emmett, Idaho the night before the blessing. Emmett is about 40 minutes north of Boise. Aaron talked to Curtis late Saturday night and he didn't think he was going to be able to make it. Just before sacrament meeting started Curtis walked in and sat down next to Aaron. He drove all night to get there.
