4 Years

No pictures for this post and it actually isn't even our anniversary yet, but we celebrated it yesterday. I love Alex so much and have loved being married to him everyday. I have learned so many things from him and couldn't of asked for a better person to be my husband. He has been so supportive through everything that has been going on. He really has no clue how wonderful he is. I love you Alex!

Yep, We are still here!

Wow things have so busy and crazy around here. Who would of thought that we would be so busy. Well, here is a short and brief update on how our summer has been back home:

Lots of camping as usual. Only this year we bought a camper! So awesome! It goes in the back of the truck. You can see it in the top corner of this picture.

It was my birthday! Alex made my amazing Harry Potter birthday cake! We were watching all the Harry Potters getting all geared up to watch the last one so obviously I wanted Alex to make me a Harry Potter birthday cake and it was Amazing!

We had Alex's Graduation Party! He worked so hard and graduated with his Masters in Accounting. He is so smart and I think actually got a 4.0 . . . ya he is smarty pants! (Zoey is trying to lick me in the face in this picture ha ha)
I made BSU colored Cake Pops for the party of course. They were so fun, but really sweet.

I ran my first 5K. It was so fun. I also did an Adventure 3K that was the best ever! There were all of these obstacles and stuff you had to go through. I have a very long long term goal of running a marathon. I think that would be awesome.

Alex is still loving his job and enjoying the people that he works with. They are so family oriented and family definitely comes first with them. I got a job too. I am teaching preschool surprise surprise, but I really loving it. The kids I work with are so sweet. We are loving being moved back home and being with family this is where we are supposed to be.

What is going on?

This is Alex's first day of work!

He is really loving his new job! He has worked in the office, been on a job site doing an audit, and is currently on his first official business trip. So this week he is down in Salt Lake. I am always invited to come with him, but I decided to stay home this time.

What about me and Zoey?

We are loving just being together and hanging out! Since I don't have a job right now I have also been hanging out with my mom, sister, and niece. I have been training for my 5k that is coming up, and just getting stuff done and getting us settled in. We have been keeping really busy and already went camping. We are really liking being home close to family, but still miss Boise.

Table Rock Hike

We had been wanting to hike up to Table Rock since we moved to Boise, so finally the week before we moved we did it.

We started out by the fence in the bottom of this picture and ended at the plateau looking thing at the top.

Getting closer

The trail got steep sometimes

Hidden Springs

Hidden Springs
I love this place! I really want to live here. You drive out this windy road past hills, cows, and fields then you reach this peaceful little town.



Their own fire station

Tree lined streets

Way amazing houses

The Dam Drive

Ya, sounds bad, but that is exactly what it is. There are a bunch of them around the same area so we took a drive to see them.

The drive and scenery on the way . . .

This is Lucky Peak Reservoir Dam.

Where they blow out the water from the Reservoir.

This is Arrow Rock . . . I think that is it name.

This is Diversion Dam. It was pretty windy out on the dam its self.

The Zoo

We were bound and determined to go and see the animals at the zoo. We went to the zoo when we came on our anniversary, but since that is in January and really cold, like none of the animals were out. So we were way excited when we were actually able to see the animals this time.

Alex got into a fight, he totally won.



I loved this bear thing, he made me laugh for like an hour.


I can hear really good now.


These were new animals to the zoo. I stalked the maned wolf for a while so that I could get a picture of him.
