A Happy Home is Filled with Love and Laughter

The BEST Husband in the WORLD!

Can I just say that I have the most amazing husband in the world. He planned such a special day for me today. I told him that I really wanted to go to Raging Waters before school started because I had never been there before. Well he totally surprised me and called me family and some close friends and invited them to come with us today. I knew something was going on because I was asked to work today and he told me that he had something planned. I thought I knew the plan until he got up and went to work this morning...taking a lunch with him. Little did I know that he just went and worked from the Library at the U making me think he went to work and came back just a little over an hour later (right before Raging Waters opened) and walked in with a cooler full of food and everything packed and ready to go. I was totally surprised!!! Unfortunately we headed to Raging waters and the rain started coming down, and they closed for the day. But I will never forget this day and all that my husband went through to surprise me and do something for me that he knew I would love! See why the title is "the best husband in the world". Thanks BJ you made this day unforgettable.

The "Couch"

Ok so when BJ and I got married we received a lot of wonderful gifts from different family members...including some furniture. My sister in-law Jamie gave us a couch that worked really well for our apartment. It breaks into 3 pieces, it is very light and convenient to get into our apartment on the 3rd floor. It is not however the most comfortable couch to say the least. So when my parents got new furniture for their front room and offered us their nice couch we took them up on the offer! Well....it didn't fit. BJ's brother J.C. came over and helped try to manuever it up the stairwell but it just wouldn't go. Here are some pictures of "the couch" that we unfortuntely had to give back to my parents.

But on a positive note. My parents came to our apartment and we had a nice visit. My dad even got my mom to ride on our new scooter!

Darn...I guess BJ is just going to have to buy me a brand new couch when we move out! :D

Auntie Christie & Uncle BJ

My brother Johnathon & his wife Kierston had their second child a few days ago, and let me just tell you....SHE IS SOOO CUTE!!! She was 8 lb 20.5 inches and is named Brooklyn Lucille Scott. Here is a picture...more to come later. :D

Nursing

We found out yesterday that Christie will be attending nursing school this fall! She's been trying to get into the program the past couple of years, so we are very excited. She will be attending DATC (in Kaysville) and will graduate from Weber next fall! Congratulations to my AMAZING wife.

Scoot

BJ and I made our first big purchase together last week. We drove down to Eco Moto and purchased a brand new 125cc red Buddy Scooter!! We love it! It gets 80 miles to the gallon! We decided that this is the perfect time to have a scooter. We are in close proximity to work and school and we don't have any kids yet.

Here is a picture of our new "scoot."

We both took the motorcycle written test and recieved our learner's permit. We have been practicing the last couple days and hope to have our motorcycle license within the next couple weeks.

It is a lot of fun! Yeah for Scooters!!!

Tenney Golfing

Imgagine walking into your house and you actually found a golf course! Well, that's exactly how I found my house Friday night when we got home at just after 9 pm. Christie had created what she calls Tenney Golfing. Even though our apartment is tiny, she was able to create 6 holes ranging from par 3 up to par 6! Here is a walkthrough of the course :)

Oh, and Christie even let me jump on the bed to hit a few shots! My wife's amazing - a golf course in our home, what fun!!

4th of July

Happy 4th Of July! Christie and I had an awesome time together on the 4th. We went up to the Layton City Parade and collected lots of candy. (Okay, BJ did most the collecting!) We then went swimming - the clouds were very nice, but we both got a small sunburn. We then drove down to Riverton with Christie's family as there was a horseshoe tournament going on. We did some dancing and playing at the carnival (I won Christie a small bear throwing darts and Christie's little brother won her a huge stuffed animal frog.) The fireworks were spectacular - especially with Christie. It was our first 4th of July together and we really had a lot of fun.
