Guestroom Project

Our guestroom had a leak that slowly ruined the carpet and the walls. We quaranteened off the room for the past few months because we a) didn't know where the water was coming from and b) didn't have time to fix it. Brock's dad came in town this weekend to help solve and fix the problem. Both were done succesfully. The room is 80% complete. We're still lacking some drywall and flooring, but it's come a long ways in 3 days.

Grad School

I'm sitting in bed working on my homework, but it is extremely hard to stay focused when I have to use the internet to do research. I keep drifting back to Facebook, or Yahoo, or my blog, or anything that doesn't have do with academics... what could take me less than an hour, ends up taking me 3! I'm so ready to be done!

Strawberry Picking

We went to Scott's Strawberry Farm on Saturday and picked our own strawberries. Well, I picked and Eden indulged.


Tailyre is a friend from church. She helped us pick strawberries and played with Eden.

We had fun!

We picked a lot!

Brock's graduation present

We desperately needed a new grill. So, we invested in a really nice one with Brock's graduation money. Steaks at our place... anyone interested?!?

Eden's new hobby: climbing through the doggie door. Rookie does it, so why can't she?

She loves to "share"

Her new pool and swimsuit. Summer is here!

Her stinky face. She loves running back and forth across our deck. We say "ready, set, go!" and she takes off. It's so cute.

Our first 10K!

Jessica and I survived our first 10K!
