Our first week in KENTUCKY


After our first day at work! It was definitely a bit overwhelming with all of the info we were trying to learn, but it'll get easier...... We are both working in the same office and LOVE it! We get to go and come home from work together everyday!

We survived our first week of work! We were exhausted. Our weekend was great - no work involved! We got to spend some time running errands and even taking a peek and some homes! We are so excited to get our lives going here!

Grand Canyon


The view!



















My view! Pete was trying to blend in with all of the surrounding Indian tribes......

















I guess this is where we were?












It was freezing! But worth the extra drive.













Here is some petrified wood for ya.....they had a whole NATIONAL FOREST of this stuff......???

Last night out in California : (




The weekend before we moved we were able to hang out with Tammy, Brandon, Lauri and Billy for one last time. We went to an awesome chinese restaurant and had a FEAST!!!!! (Thanks to Lauri and Billy!) It was so good but we had soooooo much food! We ended our meal with yummy chocolate dipped fortune cookies and then saw a movie together. We already miss them!

April Fools!

Tammy and I decided that we were going to play a little April Fools joke on Pete and Brandon.  We told them the night before that we entered them in some drawing for tickets to an NBA game through some pop-up window while we were on the internet.  They thought it was cool but didn't really think much about it.  The next day (April 1st) Pete and I went to Tammy and Brandon's house for dinner.  Brandon got a call from "David from Ticket Express" who informed him that his name was pulled from "the online raffle" and he won 2 tickets to the Phoenix game!  He was skeptical at first but David was SO good and convinced him!  Pete and Brandon were so excited that they started planning our trip down to AZ.  About an hour later, after dinner, Tammy said she wanted a picture of our hubbys together.  They got together and smiled at my camera phone when Tammy said, "I just want to get a picture of their expressions when I tell them that we just played the best April Fools joke on them ever!"  Tammy and I couldn't hold it in any longer and started cracking up while the guys just sat there......and I got the shot to prove it!

What nice hubbys!

We had FHE with the Gallups and the Holmes last Monday.  Pete and I brought our "marble slab" to mix toppings into our ice cream (like coldstone).  It was so fun and sooo good!  It got a bit messy though and the guys were there to take over!  

We love the sun!



Getting ready to go to one of the beaches in Laguna!













It was so nice!














Pete and cute baby Bowen at our pool.




















We are sad to leave the nice California sun next week.

Moving

Pete was nice enough to go with me to the wedding and reception that I had to shoot.  It was an all day event but he got some goodies in the end!
















We flew to Louisville, KY in March for a week.  We anticipated a long flight and made sure we had our cool neck pillows.

Now we are getting ready to go back!  We will be moving there in about a week!







We gave Freddy a little trim while we were there.  He looks like a puppy again!
