1 Year Down!! Can You Belive It?

For those who don't know, Tonkas birthday is also on May 31st! He is now 1 Year old! We love him so much and are happy to have such a good little puppy! Happy Birthday little Tonka!

Memorial Day Weekend!

Well for this Memorial Day Weekend we decided to take a little trip to Cleveland! Its not often that we have 2 whole days off together so it was a blast to go away and spend every minute with each other! It all started on Sunday morning. We dropped Tonka off at a friend's house who was nice enough to watch him for the night, then we headed up to Kirtland, OH to check out the temple! It was really cool. Its a weird feeling to stand in the very same room that Joseph Smith once stood and received visits from angels! It was an awesome experience. The temple grounds were so beautiful too!! There wasn't a whole lot else to do there so after about an hour and a half we decided to head toward Cleveland. After checking into our hotel and getting all settled in, we went to dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. We were so hungry and it was sooo good! Then we went back to the hotel and watched the Cleveland Cavaliers game. By the time the game was over it was really late but the hotel pool was 24 hours so we decided to go swimming. It didn't last long cause we were so tired! The next day we woke up, checked out and went to a BBQ Ribs Cook Off! It was so good! We ate so much meat it was kinda gross! After we started to feel sick we left and made our way over to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Did you know that Rock n' Roll was born in Cleveland? yep, by a radio announcer whos only way to describe the music was "Rock n' Roll". Years later the Hall of Fame opened! It was really cool to see all the famous rock stars stuff there. Clothes, shoes, drums, guitars, pianos, cars, letters from one to another, we even saw what Elvis' Father wrote down and said at his funeral! It was pretty cool! After that we got in the car and headed home! We had a great weekend and can't wait to go on vacation again soon!

Way To Go!!

Preston had a bike race today down at John Bryan State Park and he won 1st place!! He had a lot of fun and is way excited to be back on the bike winning some races! He has another one tomorrow morning so we will let you know how it turns out. Way to go Preston!!

Happy Happy Birthday!!

Well 2 days ago I turned 22!! Can you belive it! This birthday felt weird to me mostly because last birthday I was getting married 2 weeks later so it was just a crazy time, but it was a great birthday! First, Preston bought me a beautiful bouquet of yellow tulips. Tulips have become my new favorite flower since we have been here in Ohio! They are everywhere and I just love them! Unfortunatley I had to work that day too, but I was busy all day so it was better than just sitting around wasting time. My friend at work woke up early that morning and made me this delicious cinnamon monkey bread stuff for breakfast! It was so nice of her! Then my other friend at work brought me an Ice Cream cake from cold stone!! I am so grateful to have friends like them!! They were really sweet! When I got home Preston and I went to dinner at Red Robin cause we were craving some french fries and a milk shake a whole lot! It was delicious! Then we went over to another friends house and watched their kids so they could go to an appointment! She made us a really delicious cake with mint chocolate chips on top! It was a really wonderful day!! And I got lots of fun presents!! Preston got me a wii and a plane ticket home in June, my parents bought us DDR for our wii, Nina sent me a gift card to my favorite clothes store ever (thanks nina!) and a couple other small things earlier in the month that we justified were ok cause they could be birthday presents!! :) lol.. It really was the best birthday ever!! Next up... One Year Anniversary!! YAHOO!!

GOOD NEWS!!

Last night we recived a call from my brother Kelly and he is getting married!! We were really shocked and extremely happy for him! The big day is going to be August 8th in the Seattle Temple. That is exactly 3 months from today so they are very busy getting everything together! We are so excited for them and can't wait to see them get married in the Temple for Time and all Eternity!! Congratulations Kelly and Sarah, marriage is the best thing in the world!! Can't wait to be there!

Nothing new really

Well there is nothing really new to talk about.. I just have so much energy right now that I decided to put it to good use on our blog! :) We are doing really well. Work is picking up for me and I have been crazy busy. This week on my day off I got to hang out with my friend Nicole and we made "hooter hiders". haha.. I still think that is the funniest name ever Nicole.. :) If you don't know what that is, it is a nursing bib thing to cover the baby and yourself while you are nursing. No, I am not pregnant but we wanted to make one really bad and they turned out super cute!! Take a look!! Next we think we want to make skirts!!
Preston has had a really busy week at school.. I feel like I have hardley seen him this week. Our other good news is that we finally got a wii!! It has been so much fun! Preston still kicks my butt all the time but I am happy to say that I am getting better! Our favorite games are golfing, tennis, fishing, shooting, tanks, air hockey, and the find me game. My birthday is in 2 weeks and I am really hoping for some new sweet wii games.. I will let you know how that turns out! Last night we made salmon for dinner and it was the best salmon I have ever had. I don't even like salmon and I really could have eaten the whole thing! Preston was very impressed with my cooking skills needless to say!! It's always nice when your husband likes what you made for dinner :) Some other stuff.. well Tonka is getting really big. He has this funny habit of carrying his bed all over the house with him. Its like a security blanket for him or something, but just recently he chewed a big hole through it so now he carries it around his neck.. it's funny. Heres a picture..The second picture is of him wraped up in his bed like a blanket. He loves that bed so much! He also has a big love for tennis balls and sticks that grows on a daily basis! Some other little things about Tonka are the he hates the sun. He will walk in your shadow if you walk him when the sun is out.. haha.. so cute! And he is a little bit of a scaredy cat when other dogs are around unless they are nice to him first. He loves children more than tennis balls and sticks im pretty sure and he knows about 6 really super cute tricks! Until we have kids one day he is our little man and we are just loving having him around!! :) Well I have run out of things to talk about so I hope you enjoyed my rambling and I will post again soon!!

Here is an Update!!

Hello everyone!! So it's been a while and lots of things have happened! About 2 weeks ago my best friend Nina came out to visit and we had a blast hanging out with her. It was nice to have a little peice of home here in Ohio. We got pedicures,went to Air Force Museum, shopped till we dropped, saw a movie, went to an indoor water park which was a total blast, and played with Tonka. Tonka just loved her.. we couldn't get him to leave her alone!! We miss her a ton! Then it was easter weekend. To be honest, it snuck up on both of us. I didn't realize it was sunday till the friday before so needless to say we did pretty much nothing! We had steaks for dinner though which were really good!
A couple weeks ago I had to teach Preston how to play Texas Hold Em' so that he could go to a party for one of the big guys in his department at work. So latley we have been playing against each other with jelly beans.. I don't know how he beats me every time cause this used to be my game, but he does!! I haven't won one game against him yet.. so I have made a choice to not teach him anymore games that he is able to beat me at. At least I still kill him at California Speed!! :) He can't touch my skills on that game.. haha
Another peice of great news is that Preston and I are an Aunt and Uncle again! Prestons brother and sister-in-law finally had their baby this morning and we are so happy for them! Congrats Becky and Tyler! We can't wait to meet little Lowe!
Prestons big news is he FINALLY got himself a new bike! So he has been riding it a lot and has entered into a couple races already!! He is so excited to be back on the bike! I am still just working and enjoying my one extra day off a week!! Work is getting busy and time is just flying so we are doing good and getting excited for our next adventure! We will let you know where that will be hopefully in the next couple months!!
