Couch Makeover

I have been so bad at posting and keeping this blog up! I am trying to get back in the habit of taking more pictures so I have things to post. For now, here is a project I've been working on for the past few weeks. The top picture is what they are now and check out the way the old couch was below :)

Camping

We decided to do an overnighter, up Provo canyon, before it got too cold here. It was beautiful! It is the time when the leaves have started changing, so there are so many colors and it really is gorgeous. We made a Pot Roast in one of our dutch ovens; which ended up being pretty good, but took forever to cook. I think it's just going to take a few trips to really get used to cooking in the Dutch Oven. It was fun to be away from everything and just hang out together. We were sore for a few days afterwards from sleeping on our blow-up mattress that slowly let air out all night.

Tennis

What a stud!!

Drive home from St.Louis

On our way home from St. Louis to Provo, Mike and I took a little detour so we could see some of the great church history sites in Missouri.

Visitor center in Independence. This is a little walk through tour that was displayed how they lived back then.

The Community of Christ Church's Temple. It was interesting to walk across the street from our church's visitor center to this and feel such a difference. Obviously, I couldn't figure out how to get this picture turned before posting :) Also, I have a funny husband :)


Liberty Jail.

Adam-Ondi- Ahman

Columbia, MO

Last weekend and all this week the guys have been selling in a little town called Columbia, that is about 2 hours away. Jenny and I decided to go hang out with our Hubbys last weekend. We had a good little weekend and got to eat at this yummy BBQ place and then we walked across the street and got delicious frozen custard! YUM!

Happy Anniversary!

Mike and I just celebrated out 2 Year anniversary a couple of weeks ago- YAY!! We had a great day. We started it by going to the Ritz Carlton for Brunch, which was delicious, and then we were able to go down to the St.Louis Arch, do some shopping, relax, and just enjoy being together. We are so happy together and are glad that we have made it through 2 wonderful years! I always think its funny when people say they think we are so young to get married and that we're taking on so much earlier than we have to, but I always respond, "There are going to be hard times in life no matter what, marriage is a lot of work, but you always have your best friend to go through and get through everything with!" Marriage is awesome and I love Mike SO much and can't imagine my life without him! Thank you for all you do babe!

At brunch... not a great picture... we really are a lot happier than we look! :)

Mike and the Arch

It really is impossible to explain how tall and awe-inspiring the Arch is in real life

APX Office Olympics

This past week we a had fun Office Olympic event one morning before the guys went out to sell to help pump them up and celebrate the Olympics going on right now. Of course things got pretty intense a few times with 20 guys competeing on 4 teams :) We had a belly flop contest, 2 different relays- one that consisted of swimming across the pool with floaties on arms and legs, and another teammate had to get a ballon across the pool without using any hands- the other had gatorade chugging, pie eat, and sinking toys all with swimming in between, and then we had Watermelon Football (which is almost asking for an injury... but they were all able to stay mostly injury free so they could charge the rest of the week). Here are some fun pictures of our activities.
