What a Rush!!!

First of all, I would like to apologize for my lack of blogging. I've been so busy getting settled in up here in "Poky" that I haven't had time nor any experiences to blog about. We've been doing great, and are really enjoying Pocatello......sort of. Travis is really liking it a lot but I'm still getting use to the idea of all the one way streets and all the Indians!

Travis's job is going so great, and we feel so blessed to have it. I am so relieved to know that I can fall down and break any bone because now I have Health Insurance!!! I'm so proud of him and all the hard work he does for our little family.

Our ward is really nice. We both have callings. I am a team teacher for the 4 year olds in Primary, and Travis is the assistant Scout Leader. Teaching primary is really fun but it is not helping my case with having children.....won't be having one of those anytime soon!

There really isn't a lot to do up here in Pocatello, so we brought our horses up and go riding whenever we can and just today I had my first LION HUNT EXPERIENCE!! WHAT A RUSH!

Justin called us this morning and told us that his dogs had the lion treed and that we should come before it jumps. So we got in the truck and drove to where they were. I was so happy that we didn't have to hike all over the mountain. The lion was 30 yards from the road. Here are a few pictures of the crazy beast!

He was a little upset!

I was so close!

Travis had a great day!

Crazy huh?!? I can now say that I have been on a lion hunt and have seen a mountain lion face to face! Love you all!

2 years!

It's been a pretty great ride so far! I love you Travis. Happy 2 year Anniversary!

My First Craft!

Last night I became domestic. I did my first craft ever! I know that sounds odd, but I have NEVER been into the "crafty" things until last week. My mom showed me these cute pumpkins and I just thought..."What the heck, I'll give it a shot."

I am quite pleased at the way it turned out and and quite impressed with my skills:) I know Melissa is proud, and you should all be too because seriously, I DO NOT DO CRAFTS!

New Home

So Travis and I are starting to really enjoy our new life in the Great State of Idaho! We moved to Pocatello about a week ago for Travis's job and are discovering that it isn't as bad as we thought it would be. I'll let you know all the details later when I have a little bit more time to blog. But for right now, just know that we are happy and really enjoying our time together!



Love you all

Something New

It's official!!! I am back to picking POTATOES. Yep I'm moving to the land where I was born.

Wish me luck because I'm kind of freaking out!!!

Next Top Model

This weekend I took pictures of my sister and her family. I had such a fun time taking their pictures especially my niece Catherine. She is 6 years old and such a Diva. She is definitely on her way to being America's Next Top Model!

I'm here

It has been such a long time since I posted last. I'm still alive and going strong. I just haven't had the time to sit down and blog about anything. Also this post will not have any pictures because I have forgotten my camera every time something has happened.

Travis and I have had a few exciting things happen to us over the past few weeks. First we went on a pack trip with Travis's family up to the Tetons. It was really pretty up there. I froze the first few nights but after we fixed the problem I slept very well. We went fishing, took some day rides, lounged around camp, shot guns, and took naps. It was really nice. I felt so dirty the last couple days that I jumped in the river and took a quick bath. It was super cold! Travis just laughed at me while throwing me the soap. I'm sure it was a pretty funny sight. It felt wonderful though.

My horse Jake has been freaking me out ever since he decided to throw me off into a barbed wire fence. I was really nervous to ride him on the trip so I had Travis ride him whenever he decided to act like a idiot. Travis showed him who was boss and then I got back on and it was much better. Jake did a lot better towards the end of the trip. I think it was because he knew we were going home!

It was nice to get away from the world and enjoy the mountains. I'm still a "sit by the pool" kind of girl but the mountains are growing on me.

The second exciting thing that has happened to us is last weekend we went down to Salt Lake Community College for Travis to take his electrical exam. I was scared out of my mind while waiting to hear the news but I am happy to say that Travis PASSED his tests for his journeyman electrical! He is officially a JOURNEYMAN ELECTRICIAN! Four years of school and a lot of work has finally paid off.

I am so proud of Travis. He worked so hard in school, and he studied so many long hours for this test. We are so grateful and feel very blessed. Travis is amazing and I am so so so so happy for him.

Well that is what happened over the past few weeks. Hopefully something exciting will happen again soon and I will have my camera! Love you all.
