Garage Update

Well to our surprise, it looks like our builder was able to snag the speediest construction crew on the planet! We were shocked at how much they were able to get done while we were in Colorado. Thanks to my parents, we have pictures of the operation to share with you all.
Looks like they will probably finish sometime at the end of the week!

Colorado!!

Hi everyone! I am finally finding time to post again!
Brian and I recently returned from a 10-day trip to Colorado. It was SOOO much fun! We got to hang out with lots of friends and family at the Baxter-Kelly wedding and then we headed down to beautiful Durango, CO for some much needed rest and relaxation. Durango is a wonderful town with lots to do and we rented this great house with a hot-tub on a beautiful deck overlooking the valley. It was perfect! One of the days we went on the train from Durango to Silverton. It was a blast and my FIRST TIME on a train! What a great way to see the pristine wilderness of the San Juan Mountains! We also spent a day at Mesa Verde national park. We had an expert guide, Hondo’s father, who used to be the chief archeologist at Mesa Verde. He then took us to one of his private digs and that was really amazing. Talk about being face to face with history as we were surrounded by artifacts 800+ years old. Brian did get some fishing in on the Animas River, but I’m sad to say, didn’t do any catching. He’ll forever be talking about the “one that got away”.
Anyways, I hope this posting finds you all happy and in good health!
Till our next adventure!

Ground Breaking News!

Looks like our garage won’t take as long to build as we first thought! These pictures show the progress. Today I just received word that our slab has been poured too! WOOHOOO!

Memorial Day Weekend at Big Cedar Lodge

Over Memorial Day weekend Brian and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri. Big Cedar is a Bass Pro Shop owned lodge located on Table Rock Lake and this last vacation marked our fourth trip to the resort. We have been going since before we were married and we absolutely love it. Complete with fishing on the lake for Brian and massages and facials at the spa for me, it certainly is one of our favorite places to visit. We really had a great, relaxing time staying in our log cabin, watching movies, and sitting outside awing at the holiday fireworks. I would recommend it for any couple.
