House Update

Luke and I have officially moved into our new home and it is so relieving. It was a mess to coordinate a sale and purchase on the same day (note to self: NEVER do that again)...but we're here!!

It is so nice to be in a house again, and although we have about a million projects to do to make this place into the vision we saw in our heads when we bought it, it is still great to be settled.
I've been covered in paint from the first weekend we moved in -- one room down, a billion to go -- but I keep reminding myself, "one step at a time."

I picked these roses from my garden, and I love them! I've always had a love affair with roses, so to be able to pick my own, is pretty cool. Now I need to do some reading up on how to take care of them. Unfortunately roses aren't the low-maintenance type. They're worth it though!



People have been bugging us to send them pictures of the house...and we will....as soon as we get our projects done! So, if you want to see it sooner, well, you might just have to come visit us! :)

It Just Keeps Getting Better

Four years ago today Luke and I were in Portland, OR celebrating our marriage for Eternity. While I couldn't comprehend it at the time, I can honestly say I am even more in love with my wonderful husband than on that perfect day. And it just seems to grow infinitely day by day, year by year.
Without being too sappy, I'll just say that my life has never been the same since I met Luke and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.



Here's to 4 years -- and to 50 more!

Happy Birthday!

I love this guy!!!



While it wasn't the most festive birthday we've had together (Unfortunately we had to move that day), we still managed to celebrate my favorite guy's 27th birthday, complete with his favorite meal: Cheese Fondue. I also made a chocolate, chocolate, chocolate cake for his birthday celebration while his family was in town last week. We had a great time.

One year older and wiser too....



Unfortunately our cameras are packed, so the cake picture is the only one I have (courtesy of Gordon)...
