We have New Couches!!

Last week Brent and I finally went out and did some furniture shopping... the plan was to buy some couches in time for Fridays Gonzaga game, but the ones we loved were not in stock... in fact, we were told they wouldnt be in for several weeks, they had to be ordered to Seattle, then delivered here to Boise. So we were being patient, when on Monday we got a call from Mor, asking when they could deliver our couches! So here they are! We are so excited to finally have couches of our own, that we picked out, and we love, as you can see below :o)

Deck Demo

Finally! Our deck project has been in the works for some time now, so finally, this weekend Brent and I spent all day Saturday ripping out the remaining top half of the deck. We didnt realize how rotton the deck was, so when the boards started falling apart with one hit of the hammer, it was a bit more fun. I spent the morning drilling out all the screws, yes, every screw came out of the deck, well, the ones we could get. We also found out that below the deck was a concrete slab, and that the deck was built with railroad ties holding it up... very scary to think about. We have half the deck still scattered about our back yard, which will be recycled on Monday, and we'll finish cleaning it up, lay down the gravel, and start the new deck this coming weekend! We're so excited!

Anniversary Trip to Sun Valley

Brent and I were lucky enough to make it out of Boise for the weekend after our Anniversary. We headed up to Sun Valley to enjoy the snow for one last time, we hope. We stayed at our favorite little bed and breakfast, the FeatherBed Inn, where they love dogs and are always so welcoming. We enjoyed a great dinner at the Ram, in Sun Valley Village, met some new friends over the Gonzaga game in the lobby lounge at the Sun Valley Inn, and checked out some new places we hadnt been before in the area. It was a great weekend, and we cant wait to go back this summer!

'09 Steelhead trip #2

Hi, It's Brent. My second and last trip of the year was another doozie! Between 3 guys there were 24 fish caught, and 15 kept, in two days of fishing. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather the whole weekend, even though the day before we arrived, chunks of ice were flowing down the river! The biggest fish of the trip was 18lbs, caught by the oldest one on the trip, Jason's dad, Mike.

2 years already!

Happy St. Patricks Day! Today is a very special day for Brent and I, We were married 2 years ago on this very day! The past two years have been wonderful, we've had our up's and down's definately, and we've only grown stronger from them, but we've learned so much more about each other, and us as a couple, and I'm so thankful for our relationship. We are excited for the years and anniversary's to come, and cannot wait to start our next adventure!

Here are some of our favorite shots of our wedding/St. Patricks day Celebration!
