House Pictures

Here are some pictures i took before they cleaned everything up.

Cityfest 2010

I've been looking forward to April 24 for a few months now. My buddy, Lauren, and I have been crafting every free second to get ready for the 2010 cityfest! We made tutus, headbands, onesies, skirts, and some baby blankets. Unfortuately it rained that day so not many people ended up going to Cityfest but we made some really good contacts. I really enjoyed the experience and I'm excited to do it next year.

New House Pic

We had a little bit of a setback on the house.... I had to pick some stuff out and could decide so i think are move in date is going to be pushed back a little but here is the newest picture.

Busy Weekend

Friday: After work on friday, Jake and I packed up our things and headed to Chewacla State Park for our branch camp out. This is one of my favorite branch activities. We played volleyball, had delicious "Hirt dogs", roasted marshmallows, and had a fun talent show. This was our last activity as a student branch. They decided to make it a singles branch and move everyone else into the Opelika ward. I'm going to miss how close our small branch was. We had lots of fun times together. ... Setting up the tent... ... Brooke and me... ... Yummy Hirt dogs...

Saturday: We had some good breakfast, packed up our things, and headed home. It was Auburn's A-Day Spring football game so we went home got a shower and headed out for the festivities. After the game we hurried home, changed into our swimming gear and headed the the YSA bbq. They had water balloon volleyball, a huge slip-n-slide, and lots of food. ... My hunny cooking breakfast...... so many Auburn fans...... My Hunny and me!...... The boys......me......slip-n-slide...

Decisions

I've never been really good at making decisions and now i have to make so many. What color do i want our house to be? What kind of rock do we want on the outside. What colors do we want inside? What tile? What granite? etc... I like so many different styles it's been hard to choose!

I can't believe how fast they are putting up the house!

Foundation Finally

It's been really wet and raining here lately. I was so excited when I drove past our lot and saw that our foundation had been poured! Woot Woot! Only sixty more days of apartment living!

Weekend with Family

This past week my sister, her husband and there new baby, danny, came to visit us! I was so excited i couldn't think about anything else for days! While they were here we went to an Auburn basketball game (it was the last one in the old auburn arena.)We went cannoeing on marty's lake. I was so glad the weather was nice while they were here, it was a little bit windy but at least the sun was out.We hung around the house, took naps, had a bath and just spent some time togetherAnd of course we had lots of southern food! We tried oysters, catfish, crawfish, jalapeno cornbread and fried pickles!

2 wonderful years!

I'm happy to annouce that jake and i have made it through the mission! Two years! It seems like just yesterday we were up in alaska dating. We've had so many fun adventures together and i'm happy i've had my best friend right beside me. Jake i'm so lucky that i have you in my life and i can't wait for future together! Xoxo

Undefeated Season

Jake's intermual team made it through the season 5-0! Now on to the tournament! His first game is monday! Wish him luck!

Home Owners

Well not quite yet but we signed the papers and they are going to start building our house this week! here are some pictures of our lot...
It's crazy to think that we will be living in Alabama for atleast three more years but we have had fun and are excited to see what the next few years bring for us.

Snow * Snow * Snow

Yup, that's right! it's snowing here in auburn alabama! It started about 10 o'clock this morning and hasn't stopped. We are at about three inches... which i know isn't a lot but it makes me feel like i'm at home. I also got the day off because no one here wants to get out in the snow. Grocery stores were jammed pack yesterday with people worried that they were going to get snowed in... man i miss people that know how to drive in snow.

I know it's been a while since my last post but let me catch everyone up. What has been taking up most of our time is... we've been house hunting! yeah, we've decided to stay here in the south for at least three more years so jake can get his PhD. I never thought i would be living here but i know this is where we are suppose to be!

Another great thing that happened is jake just presented his thesis proposal and his committee thought it was great. One member on the committee told jake that his literature review was the best one he has read since he's been at auburn! That's my hunny! He is so talented and i'm the luckiest girl to have him for a husband!
