new bedspread!

This new bedspread is so fun! I am trying to break out of my 'green' rut, and am lovin' this burnt orange!!!

Thanks for the early present, Mom!
(I was so excited to put it on that I didn't even iron it!!)
It helps my little place feel a LOT better!

new 'office'

We have been struggling to pick up internet for the whole year we have lived here (and too cheap to get some set up). Sometimes we can get it, sometimes not...but it's always a weak signal and cuts out frequently. My intelligent husband, however, realized the signal is coming from a house kiddy-corner behind us. So, where do we pick it up the internet with full bars? In the KITCHEN! Looks like this is where we will be doing our homework this year. Nice.

Thanks, neighbors! (Whoever you are)

Look at this beautiful place just up the canyon from our house! We love living in Logan for this reason - easy access to the GREAT outdoors! We spent one night at

making breakfast on the fire - bacon, eggs, hot chocolate, and biscuits

fishing in the lake....but we needed a canoe (too much moss we kept snaggin' on)

can you see a person in those rocks?

Since fishing wasn't a success, we took a "hike" (okay, a stroll) around the whole lake back to our campground.

I thought the chipmunks might enjoy our stale muffins...and they did! this one was too heavy to carry into their little home, so he just kept coming out for a nibble!
I had never noticed this cave in Logan Canyon so we stopped to take a look on our way home. Turns out it is a spring called Ricks Spring. The water was ice cold..but it was beautiful. If you are driving up the canyon, look to your left and you will see it. Stop by sometime...super pretty!

one year

ONE thing I know after this ONE year of marriage is that Zach is definitely my ONE and only.

I love you, babe! Happy Anniversary!
