Crazy Good Love - 2 Year Anniversary





Tyler surprised me by cleaning the house while I was at work. Not the way most guys want to spend their day off! He did such a good job too...vacuumed and swept...the whole bit! He also gave me the beautiful roses...they are such a pale pink it is cool!

I am amazed at what these two years have been. It is hard to describe...far surpasses my greatest expectations. I don't know if I ever really believed I would be this loved and this happy. Let's be honest, Tyler is a boy, and I am a girl...so we have our differences. But I can go from wondering what he is thinking to smiling and laughing like no other time in my life. It is very clear how God has used Tyler in my life and I pray that the Lord blesses Tyler with me as much as I am blessed by him.

We exchanged gifts...which we didn't plan but we both did. Then went to dinner and on a walk with Josey on the greenbelt. It was really wonderful. We are relaxing and watching some TV now. When I asked Tyler what one of his favorite things about marriage is he said, "Sleeping next to you each night." I agreed, it is a great feeling to sleep next to someone you love.

First Harvest


I have been picking Sugar Snap Peas for about a week and a half. They are amazing in salads. Today I picked our first cucumber. I put some in a salad and Tyler had his with salt. It was great. Having a garden has been so much fun...almost weird how much fun it is. I am already looking forward to next year. I will have a much bigger garden, in raised garden boxes, and in a different location. I have learned a lot this year, trial and error.

I am also doing herbs in my kitchen, mostly basil and parsley. I am hoping to be just like Giada, minus her amazing boobs (ha, who am I kidding, I just need the name of her doctor) and the TV show. :-)

Friends of summer



This summer I have been fortunate to hang out with some pretty cool people. My handsome husband, cousin Travis, Paige Fast, and Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas.

Libby just married one of Tyler's friends and we couldn't agree more with his choice of Libby. She is such a neat girl, makes you feel welcome right away and I have enjoyed spending time with her at a baseball game, their wedding, camping in the mountains, and Sushi/Graples.

I took Paige to a block party and it was a blast. She loved he bounce houses, but not as much as a person in a dog costume. She loved that thing!

Tyler, Travis and I have done tons together this summer. We are so glad that Travis moved to Idaho and are thinking of ways to keep him here forever. Him and Tyler are like twins, so sometimes I can't get a word in or I get picked on...but they are such great guys it is worth it. Haha!

I haven't seen some of my favorite people this summer...hope to soon. I am going to make a point of it in the next couple of weeks.

June 2009

June was a great month. Tyler and I did a lot of fun things around Idaho...along with our cousin Travis. He is renting our basement from us and he has been so much fun.

We went to a Renaissance fair at the beginning of June. It was much more fun than I expected...but Tyler and Travis knew it would be awesome all the time. Seriously, Tyler was looking forward to it much like a 9 year old boy would have. So cute!We went to a Greek Food Festival...yum! Tyler liked it too....his first Gyro experience.

We also went up to Spokane for Hoopfest. What a blast. Tyler's team didn't do as well as we hoped, but we had two other family teams that won their divisions. Neato! Ashley Puga met us up there too which was a lot of fun.
