After a long day of meetings my boss talked me into riding this schooner.  You know, like a big sail boat. It was a sunset cruise.  The kind where they provide the drinks, or in our case, soda.  The lady didn’t want to give me my drink ticket because I didn’t look 21. It turned […]

Wednesday nights are all sorts of fun these days as we’ve learned all kinds of tricks hanging from beautiful silk ribbons.        

A bunch of our favorite people decided to participate in the Angel Tree program this year instead of swapping gifts.  Not everyone could join us at the mall, but we did have donations from everyone! We were told the biggest need this year was for coats and shoes, so we set off to make our […]

Saturday was Ben’s extended family’s annual graham cracker house event.  We had a blast, even though we were a little bit late.   Power tools + graham cracker houses= serious business. The finished product!  The drill was totally worth it!

Ben and I were married on November 8, 2008.  We couldn’t have been happier to be surrounded by all of our dearest friends and family to celebrate with us.   Ben surprised me with the best getaway vehicle ever! It was a beautiful day and we couldn’t have been more grateful for all who came […]

I have to admit.  I’m pretty proud of myself.  A couple of weeks ago I actually made it on my bike the entire way to Elephant Rock.  Ben was really patient with me, considering that it took me positively forever, I was scared to death, and my legs looked like they’d been shredded with a […]

We got the boat out to Pineview Reservoir early Saturday morning for the first time this summer. It was a blast. Some highlights: We got the tube out for the first time in years. It’s a bit…smaller than I remembered, and it’s a tough squeeze to get two adults on there. My whole body hurt […]

Road trips are the best. Ben and I spent 9 days driving around, visiting friends and family, and hanging out on the beach. Some of the highlights: Sand Hollow: The first place we went was to see Cody! He’s home from Cape Verde! It was so fun to see him and so sweet of his […]

My life since Ben joined it has been nothing but wonderful and fun, and also full of adventure.  As a result, I jumped out of an airplane this week.  Seriously. Actually, I think I’ve done a lot of uncharacteristic things in the last month. I’m actually proud of myself for brave. Looking over the edge […]
