In Our 2nd Year...

I thought I would make a list of our 2nd year accomplishments. So here I go. We were sealed in the Monticello Temple, paid of the truck (we now owe nothing on vehicles), got our 5th cat (rest assured, we only have 1, but this is our fifth), both got big callings in church, (Dustin in Elders' Quorum Presidency and I am in Primary Presidency), started our food storage of which we could actually live off of for at least 3 months. We also started a business, put in a sprikler system, started a garden, Dustin was released from his calling, went on our first family camping trip, Angie shot her first real guns (7mm mag once and a .270). I know there are more but these are the ones that I am most pleased with. I can't wait to see what we will accomplish this next year of marriage!

Our Second Anniversary

Yesterday was a great day. I can't believe we've been married 2 years. It feels both longer and shorter than that. Does that make any sense? The day started off with Dustin making me a breakfast of waffles. They were delicious! After breakfast Dustin went out and un-winterized the lawn mower. While he was doing so, I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
While Dustin mowed the front yard, i went and got our first catelope from the garden. I wasn't planning to eat it yet but Brennden dropped it and it split open. We all enjoyed it. Even Dustin took a bite even though he hates them. Then we all went to the back. The kids played in the dirt while I pulled weeds and Dustin dug a hole for the fire pit.

After all that we went into town to pick up Dustin's truck. Hopefully it won't need to get fixed again for a really long time. At least this time didn't cost us any money. When we got home the kids napped while we sat down together and watched Glenn Beck. Once the kids woke up we packed them up and took them to a sitter.

I was craving spicy food so we decided on Si Senors for dinner. I can't believe how different it is going on a weekday instead of a weekend. We were in and out quicker than we have ever been anywhere. Since we had so much time left before we needed to get the kids we went mini golfing. It was fun. There was a bounce house in there and we decided that we would have to take the kids someday. They would love it. After that we still had time left so we headed out to the mall. We just walked around for a while and them looked at phones. We have been thinking about switched carriers in the next few weeks.


Then it was time to head home. The best part, not once did we talk about the kids except for saying that we should take them to the bounce house. It was great to get away and just be together!
