I am so stoked I have finally figured out how to use this place! Woo hoo! I will stop putting pictures up today, right after this one. This is when Zane and I went to hardware ranch this summer--this was my second blog that was one sentence long. I felt I owed it to you all to put it up, since I mentioned it, but never showed it. We had a ton of fun. I have never seen an elk before, so Zane decided to take me up there. There were a couple thousand elk counted that day--whoa! The best part, besides looking at the elk, was checking out the draft horses that were pulling us. They are huge! Well, I guess it is back to the homework for me--I still have quite a bit to go, just thought I would take a break :)



Zane is excited about his brand-new pigeon pen and the its three residents (pigeons, of course). For those of you who don't know, my husband is into pigeon racing--yes it is real and looks like it will be something we will really enjoy. It was a lot of hard work building the pen, but he loved every minute of it. He is ready to start their training, and they will be racing this August and September. We hope to be having a vacation this May before I start graduate school. We will have to see how far we get to go!

GRADUATION!!!


I have graduated finally from Utah State University!!! It feels really weird because I still have 2 finals to take. I actually walked in the Utah State University's Brigham City campus commencement ceremony, so I got to walk early. I feel free, but at the same time I don't--I still have two years (including 3 summers) of graduate school to take before I am completely finished. The best part about my graduate school program is that I am paid to do it. I will be working at Weber school district and this will be my very first full-time employment, which is a pretty scary feeling. I have been in school for such a long time, I hope I can hack it in the real world! I know this picture looks pretty random, it should be a picture of me graduating from college, but I haven't gotten any back from anyone. This is a picture of our house and our new car, which some of you haven't seen before.

Laura, Stacey and the little ones.

Zane on the slopes!

See the white dust in the shape of a bird--that was one of our pigeons that ran right smack into our window.

And here is a better picture of the damage to the window.

Name the out-of-control pigeon that broke our window.


We found this 'little' guy in our yard. He is larger than a dachshund.
