Another Cabin Trip

A couple weeks ago Kyle and I went to the cabin with some friends of ours, Luke and Mary and their new little boy, Max. Luke had a .22 and so I shot a gun for the first time! It was pretty fun. We set up a few targets, (water bottles, golf balls tennis balls) and I hit a them once or twice. Kyle thinks I looked pretty good holding this gun.

Camping Trip

A couple weeks ago Kyle and I went camping. We were going to try a new spot that was really high up in the mountains but the campground was full by the time we got there so we headed down to Birch Creek. By the time we got there however it was dark and there was like one campground left so had to set up our tent with our car lights but we certainly still had fun.

The drive up the campground we were hoping to go to was pretty cool. It was a beautiful drive and we drove through a ghost town, there was lots of old homes and cabins.
Kyle fixed us a delicious breakfast the next morning. As you can tell it was definitely cold that morning!

It was pretty windy but Kyle tried to fish anyway.

However, he only fished for like 15 because it was just too windy.

Trip to SLC

We went from Boise to SLC to visit some of my family. We got to spend some time at my parents new place and enjoyed spending time with them as well as with Laura, Rosanne & Rafa. Then on Sunday there was an Andrus Family Reunion and I got to see my cousin Emily who I had not seen for about 10 years! It was fun being able to visit and catch up with her and her family.

I didn't get very many pictures but I did get a few. Below is Rafa, Rosanne and Lisa and half of Tyler!
This is the newest member of the Ward family, Katie, this was the first time we got to met her.

Trip to Boise

A few weeks ago we went to Boise to visit Kyle's family and to try to find an internship for Kyle. Kyle went to some different firms and called a bunch trying to get something worked out. We have a couple leads but not sure yet what will happen. Kyle's parents and sisters all worked a bunch while we were there but we spent what time we could with them and relaxed most of the rest of the time. We did try to help out a little bit around the house and kyle didn't want to get grass stains on the shoes he brought so in the picture below you can see the stylist shoes he used to mow the grass.

Kyle and I went to the zoo one day and saw a bunch of animals. It was fun.
This turtle is around 90 years old!

The tiger was our favorite.
Outside of one of the grocery stores was a pay phone, it had been forever since Kyle had seen one so he thought it would be fun to take a picture with it.

We never got any pictures with Kyle's family but we did spend time with them and enjoyed our visit with them!

Our 2nd Anniversary!

Yesterday Kyle and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary! We started out the morning with a nice breakfast and just relaxed most of the morning.

I decorated the bedroom door with stars...the starts represent how there are millions of people in the world just like there are millions of stars and so it symbolized how grateful I was that out of everyone in the world I found kyle!
We have decided that every year for our anniversary we are going to try a new pizza restaurant. This year we were in Boise and we went to the Flying Pie Pizzeria.

The pizza was pretty good but what made it more fun was it was a fun atmosphere.

One of Kyle's gifts to me was chocolate! Gotta love that!

So when you don't have much money you have to get creative with presents and so for Kyle I got him a transformer Puzzle. One reason I got him a kid puzzle because he doesn't like to do the big puzzles. I also played on the words and wrote him a note about how he is transforming me into a better person.

Then on the back of each puzzle piece I wrote a word that deals with marriage and how we have to fit lots of different pieces in our marriage to make it work and fulfill our purpose.

I am always so impressed with Kyle's creativity. He first wrote me some really sweet things which included some pictures as well as the lyrics to one of my new favorite songs....You make me smile. Then he got me this binder to hold all the notes and things that we make or write to each other. I absolutely loved his gift!

We sure love being married and love how each day we learn more about each other and grow closer together through the experiences that we share together!

2 Down and infinity to go! :-) We look forward to each one!
