Can you believe it has been 12 years since a cute almost 15-year-old boy asked a just turned 14-year-old girl if she "maybe wanted to like kinda hang out this summer?" I never would have imagined 12 years ago that this is where Josh and I would be now but am so thrilled that we are here! He is the best husband, best friend, and everything! Anyway, to celebrate our "12 year anniversary" this weekend, we spent time just hanging out together and having a weekend to relax! Friday evening we took Captain and McKenzie for a walk then randomly met up with Michelle, Ashley, and Greg for dinner at a little, local mexican restaurant. Josh then agreed to take me to the most recent chick flick which was cute. Yesterday was our neighborhood garage sale so we walked around a found a few things we couldn't live without! Lunch was Jamba Juice while sitting on a rock in the river and watching the ducks fight over our pretzel. Here is the view of the new bridge from our rock (I love this view!)

Here is Josh and my excellent self portrait on our rock!

Yesterday evening we got to meet De Ette's new fiance at the Rivercats' game! We loved him immediately because he is bringing De Ette back to CA and only an hour from us!!! He was a great guy and even spoiled us with hot chocolate! As you can see, it was a little chilly!

We can't wait for De Ette to move out here so we can have fun with her too!

Josh and I just got some yard work and house work done followed by a yummy lunch outside. We picked tons of cherries from our tree and are thinking about trying to make a cherry pie! Wish us luck! Before that, we are going to take the kayak out on the lake to enjoy some sunshine and get a good tan for all the weddings coming up this summer!

Guess that's about all! I hope everyong is doing well!

More fun stuff!

So, since the last post Josh and I have stayed very busy!!! We helped throw a surprise 50th birthday party for Mom and Darsi in the beginning of May which was tons of fun. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures because we used someone else's camera and never got pictures from them. :-( Thank you to everyone for all their help and help keeping everything quiet and yeah to Mom and Darsi being the big 5-0!!!

Over Memorial Day weekend, we joined Scott, Sarah, Jeremy, Jo-Jo, Dave, Dodie, and some of Scott's friends for a fun camping trip at Eastman Lake. Since we got snowed out last year, Scott found the hottest place he could to camp this year and was very successful! We went through a Costco size package of sunscreen but ended up with no tan lines! We had a great time hanging out with family and friends and enjoying a few days of horseshoes, wiffle ball, volleyball, swimming, kayaking, campfires, smores, games, relaxation, and fun!

The whole gang just before leaving! We are hoping to get the same huge site again next year so everyone is invited!!!

Jo-Jo and I took the tandem kayak out of the lake for a few hours. We had a great time enjoying the sunshine and chatting. She did a great job paddling (other than when she took me under all the pooping birds)!!! We even got the kayak back up on the Blazer by ourselves about 2 minutes before Josh showed up to help!

Jo-Jo was our great pancake chef and prepared a delicious breakfast for all of us! You are hired for next year! James was a great sou-chef!

The following weekend, I was in my good friends, Ashley and Mike's, wedding at Newcastle Wedding Gardens. It was beautiful and Ashely looked absolutely amazing! She looked like a bride right out of the bridal magazines. The wedding was beautiful and tons of fun!

Mommy and Daddy joined Josh and I at the wedding and had some fun dancing with us (I think)! Then, they had to head up to Arnold to finish cabin buying stuff! Yeah!!!

Me with my wonderful college roommates, Melissa and Colleen! Aren't we pretty!!!

I will try to keep posts and pictures coming on a little bit of a more regular basis but we'll see how that works since Josh and I will be quite busy this summer!!! I hope all is going well with everyone! Happy summer vacation soon to all those lucky kids and teachers who still get one!!!
