24!

I can't believe my wonderful husband is 24 years-old! Tyler's birthday lasted a whole weekend. On Saturday, his actual birthday, we went out to lunch, shopping for a new swimming suit and then went out to dinner and for a hike with Mike and Amy.

On Sunday we had waffles for breakfast and Tyler's mom had all of us over for a delicious meal.

Monday, after family swim day, we had a wonderful BBQ at my parents house.

After which we headed to Ty's favorite ice cream joint...Nelson's Frozen Custard.

Thanks friends and family for a wonderful birthday weekend for Tyler! We love you all!

Donut Falls

We were lucky enough to hike to Donut Falls with Carrie and Andrew! We even got to go into the cave that looks like the donut. It was beautiful and we had a blast!

Veggie Garden

Tyler and I spent Memorial Day planting a vegetable garden. It was a lot of work, as the area used to be covered by grass, but definitely worth it.

Tyler was a true redneck by the end of the day.

Hopefully we'll get some yummy vegetables if we can keep all of the snails away.

Sharp Shooters

I used to be terrified of guns so I thought it would be good to learn how to use them. We borrowed some from Blair and headed to a range with some friends. We had lots of fun and I think I've conquered my fear!

Believe it or not...

...I'm a college graduate! Woot woot! I don't think it'll actually hit me that I'm done with school until the fall roles around so for right now it's just a nice thought.

What a handsome man I married!

My parents took everyone out to Market Street for lunch afterward and we had a such a great meal. Thanks a million!We are so blessed to have such a wonderful and supportive family. Thanks to everyone for coming to support me even though convocations are the most boring events ever, and they won't even let you leave early. I appreciate your love and support!

Yosemite & San Fransisco

After graduation Tyler and I headed to California to visit Colin and Jamie. We stopped by Yosemite on the way and it was absolutely breathtaking. Yosemite is by far one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life. Pictures don't even do it justice but we tried.

We even saw two bears!

The above waterfalls are beautiful right? Well Tyler and I thought it would be fun to hike to the top of the upper falls...turned out it wasn't so fun.I almost didn't make it and we both had a hard time walking for a few days after but it sure was beautiful once we got to the top. Tyler just about gave me a heart attack when he climbed to the edge of the waterfall.

Fortunately he survived and he got some great pictures too.

After our hike we hobbled back to the car and drove on to San Fransisco! It was SO great to see Colin, Jamie, Presley and Maybelle. We miss them so much but are glad they're not too far away. We had so much fun just hanging out with them and sight seeing. Our first stop was a Japanese Tea Garden in the Golden Gate Park.


Next we stopped by Golden Gate BridgeThen we drove down Lombard Street...... on our way to Fisherman's Wharff and Pier 39 for some delicious lunch at Bubba Gump'sOn the way back we stopped by Ghirardelli Square for some treats.That night we went out to dinner at BJ'sThe next day we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge to go to a beautiful redwood forest.

Presley had to take a little potty break...
On the way home we stopped in Sauslito for some lunch and had a gorgeous view of the bay
Then back over the bridge and we headed home.
Thanks Colin and Jam for letting us come visit you! You were definitely the highlight of our trip. We love and miss you guys!
