Happy Anniversary!

Today Travis and I have been married for two years.  It's hard to believe it has already been that long, it seems like only yesterday we were making the preparations for our wedding.  A lot has happened in those two years, good and sad, and without each other and God I don't know what we would have done.  

Now travis and I are expecting our first baby, a little girl.  She will be here in May and we are both so very excited.  We look forward to this new chapter of our lives and pray that God will help us to be good parents.

Carving Pumpkins!

So last night Travis and I carved our first pumpkins together.  We didn't do it last year for some reason, but I decided that we needed to this year.  We had so much fun!  We will definitely not miss another year if we can help it.  I had forgotten how much fun scooping out the "guts" and creating your pumpkin's face can be!  When we were all done it was great to see them all lit up.  I cannot wait to light them on Halloween for all our trick or treaters to see.

A Beautiful Surprise

So this morning we woke up to beautiful snow!  I love it and I was so very excited for our first snowfall of the year.  I know some people might think I am crazy for that because we'll have a lot more to come, but there is just something so special about the first snow of the year.  It makes you feel like a little kid again when you wake up and see it on the ground, I would have felt even more like a kid if I didn't have to work today and got to stay at home and enjoy it!  Oh well.  I just thought I'd share our beautiful snow with you this morning.

lemonade

So today while making myself some lunch, Travis had already finished his and had come back into the kitchen for something else.  Meanwhile, he had left his lemonade on the coffee table, which George our cat can jump up on.  I just happened to look over to see George enjoying Travis' lemonade.  He is so crazy, he will eat or drink anything!

End of Summer?

Summer has already left us here in Wyoming, or so it seems.  Ever since I got back from North Carolina on Thursday it has been cold and rainy.  It feels so much like fall that I have already put out fall decorations!  I have had my heat on since I got back too.  Crazy.

I went to North Carolina on the 27th of August for my friend Rebecca's wedding.  She got married down at the Outer banks, it was beautiful and the weather was great!

Also, when I was home I got to see my brand new nephew, Logan Vann.  He was born on the 26th and I was so glad I got to see him and meet him.  He is so precious.  I love going to NC to visit all my family, but this past time was just so busy it flew by.  Now I'm already looking forward to Christmas!

Now I am at home alone, Travis had to go to Portland.  He is starting his Master's program at a school up there.  I can't wait for him to get back, we haven't seen very much of each other lately since I was gone for a week too.

Anyways, I think I might go light the fire place and drink some coffee and enjoy the rest of the afternoon relaxing.

ROCKY

On Tuesday, Travis and I picked up a dog in our neighborhood that had no collar.  He was so well behaved and Travis really wanted to keep him, but we had to find out if he belonged to someone.  So Travis took him to the pound and they took our information in case anyone called for the dog.  In the meantime, Travis took the dog back home and let him meet Sadie.  They really hit it off and they looked so happy together.  Travis really wanted to keep the dog.  

It was later in the afternoon when the owner finally called and said that the dog's name was Rocky and that he would be by to pick him up shortly.  It turns out, Rocky only lives about 3 houses down from us and apparently he gets out a lot.  So maybe if we are lucky, Sadie will get to play with her new friend again.

Summer Vacation

I just got back from North Carolina and it was great!!  Unfortunately Travis didn't get to come with me, but he'll get to in August!  I was only there for a week, but it was so much fun.  I helped out with the Tour de Kale, we went to a wedding, and then went to the beach!  It was a packed week and I was glad to be back home.  It was so nice to see my family and get to hang out with them.  It was just a great mini-vacation!
