Two years, gone!

Today is our 2nd Anniversary! I can't believe how fast time is flying. Our first year of marriage we lived in Great Falls, MT in a very tiny basement apartment below Andy's brother's house. We worked at Tony Roma's restaurant, together (which means we were ALWAYS together). Most days we didn't have to be to work until 11 O'clock, we slept in everyday! We didn't really have many bills to pay, and nothing much to fight about, except the dishes! After only 4 months we found out that we were going to have a baby & we were so excited, I was nervous!! Just before our 1st Anniversary Andy was offered a Management job with Chili's back at home and we were SO excited to come home. We had a two weeks notice of our move. Within those two weeks we had to pack, find a place to live and move, while I was 7 1/2 months pregnant, it was a challenge. We moved to Twin Falls where Andy did his Management training & I prepared to have a baby. Three weeks after Ky was born we moved into my parents house in Idaho Falls until we found a house, or a place to live. We searched, prayed, searched and prayed some more until we were so blessed to find our beautiful home, which we love. And even AWESOME neighbors, which we also love!! This past year has been Crazy and Amazing at the same time. We have grown so much and luckily we still love each other!! I couldn't imagine being married to a better man! He is everything to me and I love him so much. Neither one of us are perfect, but we make it work together. I am very lucky to have found the man of my dreams & to have eternity to spend with him! I love you Babe!! Happy Anniversary!

Fun in the sun!

On Tuesday my grandpa took all of us up to Blacktail for the day. It was so much fun! My sister & her husband and Andy & I went on these crazy tubes! Everybody had been on them before except me. It was just a little scary, you go SOOOO fast!As we were finishing up our tube went flat... Andy decided to jump ship and join the other tube... leaving me alone in a FLAT tube going really fast I was hanging on for dear life, but I couldn't hang on long enough.... I went flying out and the other tube ran me over. It knocked the wind out of me and I laid in the water trying to catch my breath. RUDE!!!! I can't believe he abandoned me! But it was lots of fun!Kyler loves riding in the boat looking at the water and intently watching whoever is behind the boat. Andy loves to go wake boarding, but we haven't been able to go very much this year, every opportunity he gets, he takes it! Here are a few shots of him behind the boat.What a stud!And last but not least a video of his mad skills & luckily we caught one of his wrecks on video! It looks like it probably hurt! Thanks Ang for the cool pictures and catching the video!!! Love ya!

Breaking Dawn!!

I am totally amazed with myself! I really thought it would take me at least a week to not only get to reading the book, but to finish it?!?!? And I finished!! I have to say that in the beginning I was very disappointed... only because I didn't think it was going the direction I wanted it to go. But now after finishing I am completely satisfied with the end. I think it turned out perfectly. I won't ruin the end for anyone!! I'm soooo excited to watch the movie though to see how closely they follow it!! I don't think it could come fast enough though!
