Finally...

We went camping in the Bear Lake area this past weekend. It was some much needed away time! We went down on Saturday and came back Sunday. We drove around Bear Lake on Saturday afternoon/evening and went to Bloomington Lake on Sunday. Avery is estatic any time she gets to get into some water so she enjoyed herself as well. :)

The first two pics are right off of our campsite.


We found a spot on Bear Lake to let Avery play fetch in the water...








...unfortunately, to get to said area you had to walk through this swampy nasty-ness. The next two pictures are the result of Dave giving me a piggy back ride back to the truck because I did not want to walk through it more than once! He really meant to give me a thumbs up... :)




These are pictures of Bloomington Lake. The water is beautiful but freezing! And pictures don't really do the lake justice.

Three years, two months and one day...

















So, I let May 13th and July 7th pass by without a post about Dave and I. We have now been together for three years, two months and one day and have been married for 2 years and seven days. I don't feel like I am really one to post anything too mushy I guess so I am not really sure what to say. So, I decided that I would share some pictures from our three years, two months and one day together and 20 possibly somewhat mushy facts/tidbits about Dave and myself. Here goes...

1. Dave proposed to me on his birthday, February 23, in Jackson Hole, WY.
2. He picked out my ring all by himself and I had no idea whatsoever that the proposal was even coming.
3. Dave was the first and only guy I ever said "I love you" to, besides my papa of course!
4. On our first date, we went to Lava Hot Springs to eat Thai food, walked around Lava for a bit, then went and saw Poseidon at the theater in Pocatello.
5. We met at the physical therapy clinic where Dave works. I tore my ACL and had therapy there after surgery then ended up getting a job there as a tech and seven months-ish later he asked me out.
6. We both have introvert issues that we are working on. (Hence part of the reason for the seven months :) )
7. Dave is very ticklish and acts annoyed when I tickle him but I think he would miss it if I was gone so I continue to "annoy" him.
8. We ran our first half marathon together after dating for about 5 months.
9. It was actually my brother Jared's idea to get married on 7-7-07 and we liked the idea and just went with it.
10. I invited Dave to go camping with my family after we had been dating for one week. He came camping with us the next weekend (Memorial Day weekend) when we had been dating for a whoppping two weeks.
11. I was slow-mover/non-committer when it came to relationships before Dave.
12. The same weekend that Dave came camping with my family we went to his parents house and pretty much every relative he has was there. Or at least thats how it seemed to me at the time.
13. Right after we arrived at his parent's house on that day, his niece, who was 8 at the time, yelled out, "Hey Dave! I hear you're really in love!" from the back of the truck she was standing on in the driveway.
14. Dave sleeps on the right side of the bed, I sleep on the left.
15. We said I love you after dating for three months exactly. (Dave said it first, in case you were wondering)
16. I picked out Dave's wedding ring by myself and he didn't see it until the night before our marriage.
17. Dave's family and mine are surprisingly alike.
18. Neither of us likes eating chicken or ribs or whatever off the bone. Gross.
19. We went to Mexico for our honeymoon and both got food poisoning. Talk about getting to know each other! :)
20. Most of the time, I struggle to keep a straight face when we argue but I'm not sure why.

Here is a video I just re-discovered of our reception and the famous wedding cake feeding tradition.
