Happy Anniversary! (yesterday)

So Yesterday was our Anniversary! 3 Years!! Mike got me some daisies (my FAVORITE)!!!

I love you Mike, Happy Anniversary!

PLEASE...CAN I HAVE ONE???

I am a big dog lover and I have been wanting a dog for awhile now, but it just doesn't seem like the right time to get one...They are a big responsibility and Mike and I both work. We also don't have a yard where a dog could run and play. But I still can't help looking in the classifieds at the puppies for sale. Yesterday I found an add for beagle puppies (which are near and dear to Mike's heart)...And just soooo cute!

Well...HOW CAN YOU RESIST THESE FACES!?







I just wanted to buy one so bad...but I just don't think it would work out without a yard and with us working...Maybe someday...

Happy 4th!

I absolutely LOVE the 4th of July...the fireworks and the barbeques and just the patriotic "I'm glad to be an American" feeling.
This weekend we went up to Bear Lake with the Hansen's. We had a blast playing in the water and with all the kids.










Then we headed to Star Valley and it was BEAUTIFUL!! We went on a bike ride (filled with adventure because Jenny got a flat tire half way through), watched movies, read books, and just hung out!!




Then I got to come home to our fun house... I planted a garden this summer and I'm loving it. We even have zuchinni, pumpkins, and tomatoes that are growing like mad! I love to garden and it makes our house seem more like a house...if that makes any sense.






AND I also got a hair cut (thanks Ems)!! I am loving it! It is so summery and fun!



All in all, I had a great 4th and I truly am so grateful to live in this beautiful free country.

Memorial Day!

This weekend we headed to Wyoming for memorial day with my family. We had such a blast! It was rainy and cold, but that is some of my favorite weather up there! We got a couple of good storms which hindered our plans for a day of fishing (but it didn't hinder my brother's fishing...he was out all day every day!) We watched some movies, read books, played tennis, and played TONS of games! On Monday we trecked to Jackson and walked around. We ate lunch there and had a blast. I almost bought a cowgirl hat, because I'm one of those wanna-be cowgirls...maybe next time. We had such a blast just being together and enjoying each other's company. Thanks you guys for such a fun weekend!

P.S. Sorry I don't have any pictures...Mike and I forgot our camera so I'm waiting to get pictures from my family.

Cake Decorating

So yesterday was my birthday and instead of just the plain old cake, I thought I would try my hand at decorating with fondant! I have never done any cake decorating before but have always wanted to (I think I have all this creative energy pent up and I have to let it out in random ways...and this was one of the them). So here is my first attempt at cake decorating. It was fun to try and I'll probably be decorating more cakes in the future because I really enjoyed it!

Graduated!!

Well...It's officially over with! I walked on Saturday and I am now considered Utah State Alumni.



Thanks to all of you that came and to those that sent your "Congrats" my way. Mike and I really appreciated it...and it was fun to party!!

Carpenter Mike

So...I never blogged about my bookshelf...I had been wanting a bookshelf for awhile and Mike and I were looking around for fun one day when Mike said ,"I could build one like that". So I said,"Okay! I'll draw it and you build it!" So...Here is my drawing:



Sure enough, Mike looked at it and build it for me! Here is the finished product:





(Since this picture he built another just like it so that I can set them up like an entertainment center).

Thanks honey!!! I love my bookshelves!

7 More Days!

So...the Countdown is on! I only have 7 more days of student teaching! I am so excited to be done with school and to be graduated! I have enjoyed my student teaching and I will miss the students, but I am so excited to just be done. Yay!!!

EASTER

Mike and I had a fun Easter. We just hung out by ourselves at home...

We made beautiful creations from eggs, crayons, and dye...



Here is me dying an egg...



Here is Mike "dying" an egg (the dramatic little cute)...



We had fun just hanging out together.
