catching up

Summer is going by pretty fast, but Brodee and I have been both pretty busy.

1) Birthday!! Well it's official I am now 23 years old...geez..old! :) My birthday was on the 26th. Brodee took the day off and went to Twin Falls to hang out. Later that evening after the baseball games we had a small birthday party with the family at my house.

2) Swim Lessons! I have been taking Carlee, Jed, Libby, Chase, Ryan and Ren to swim lesson in Almo for the past few days. It's a good way to keep me busy and it's fun to swim with them. Holly came with me the first day.

3) Hanging out with friends!! Brodee and I have some really cool friends...Scott and Joyanne...we love hanging out with them. On Friday night, we went into town and at dinner with them at Shon Hings, swam in the canal by Scott's parents house, ate ice cream from DQ and sat in a hot tub. It was a really fun night.

This picture is funny because Brodee HATES the water!! He doesn't like to be in it. Therefore, the only way we could get him into this "stomach deep canal" was to have him on a tube with a life jacket. It was the funniest thing ever watch him carefully get into the water. He even left his boots on...I dont think a single part of this body got wet!! Ha It was so cute though to watch this situation. We had a blast though floating this canal though.

4) Things are the house!! The chickens are getting larger! They are all laying hens and getting ready to start laying their eggs. The goat "Whitey" is doing good. He is getting a personality. It is fun to watch her outside. The garden is growing so well...and so are the weeds ha. We are going to have carrots, peas, lettuce, spinach, potatoes, tomatoes, and pumpkins. The trees we planted are growing pretty good..only a few have died. We have done landscaping around the yard and we love it. Brodee and I both enjoy being outside especially when it is nice!! We spend alot of time outside :)

It's been a year! Happy Anniversary!

My alarm rang at 5:00am as I sluggishly crawled out of bed to get ready to go. Michelle did my hair, mom gathered my dress and put in the car and we were off. With dad driving, mom in the passenger seat, Holly, Michelle and me in the back seat we were loaded up as we ventured with anticipation to the Twin Falls Temple.

There I stood with my mom in the Bride's room anxious to see how the day would pan out. I carefully put my temple clothes on and left the comfort of my mom. As I walked into the room, there he was sitting in a chair as nervous as ever. His leg was twitching uncontrollably and it began to make my stomach fill with butterflies. Thoughts of the unknow filtered into my mind...after the longest thirty minutes of my life, Brodee and I walked hand-in-hand down the hall to the sealing room. As we walked in friends and family filled the room. This was real! I was finally getting married! With a smile on my face and moments later, I had done it...I had married my best friend! :)

One year ago, that day was as real as it could be. Last year, I married the most amazing man and what a year it has been. For our anniversary, we took a little get-away vacation for the weekend...we ventured out of Malta (which Brodee doesn't like doing) ha and went to Salt Lake/Ogden area. We went to the zoo, out to dinnerat the Joseph Smith Building, shopped at Tai Pan, and enjoyed the luxeries of our hotel. It was pretty fun. It was a nice break, but it was good to be getting back.. We EVEN enjoyed our wedding cake top. :)
