6 Months and We Still Love Each Other

That's right! Kyle and I have officially been married for half of a year. For our 6 month anniversary weekend we took a trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It's a cute tourist town, near a nice ski resort. We looked up a lot of interesting things to do while there but it turns out we were there during the "off season" so pretty much everything we were interested in doing was not happening. . . except for one thing . . . disc golf! Disc golf is Kyle's newest, and I'm pretty sure absolute favorite, hobby. So before we left he looked up to see if there were any disc golf courses. It turned out to be an awesome course that ran through a ski slope. So it was a hike, we definitely got some exercise, and it was a lot of fun.

kyle has great form! just look at how his jacket is swishing from his rotation!

I, on the other hand, look like I am trying to fight someone, gotta get that arm down

just trying to show how steep it was at parts, we t-off at the sign and the basket is up at the far-side of that dirt pile. the picture doesn't really do it justice.

Anyhow, it was a really cool course. The view from the top of that hill was quite pretty as well. Of course we didn't spend all our time at the course, we walked around the town too which was fun. They had some interesting shops with very interesting crafts and stuffed animals (the kind that got hunted). So here are our other photos from the trip:

us by the famous antler arch, there are actually 4 arches and we couldn't decide which one to pick but after we picked one we realized we chose the right one, the only one with the "Jackson Hole, WY antlers :)

And that is our trip to Jackson Hole!

odds 'n ends

So, Kyle is now volunteering at the hospital in the physical therapy department- he's gotta get so many hours accumulated to apply for grad schools. He came home the other day with an awesome, very official name tag. So I took a picture to share.


Kyle says it doesn't, but I still think this badge gets him through locked doors and into restricted areas ;)

Also, we've gotten our craft on a little bit lately. We've had the idea to do this for a while but we just finally got around to it:

Officially it is called "alphabet photography" but we just refer to it as "something cool for our house that we made." Can you tell what it says?! We went around town and took pictures of things that looked like the letters we needed. My two favorites are the I and the Y. The I is a door and window from the Tabernacle down town. The Y is the front brakes of Kyles bike, he was doing some repair work and had to take 'em off for a bit. After we took the pictures it just took some Photoshop and the right frame (which actually was a pain trying to find, but it worked out perfect) and voila.

One year older and wiser too

I'm now 22 years old! We had friends over for cake and ice cream to celebrate. Below is me + my birthday cake. Kyle thought that by putting half of the candles on one end and the other half on the far end, that he could prevent me from blowing them all out with one breath. . .

. . . but I got all of them :) And for my gift Kyle got me (us) a Mac desktop!!

Which is SO nice, my laptop is very slow and has already been resurrected twice. This desktop is much faster and should last a lot longer. Also, it's the same computer that I did design work on while I was in school, so I'm excited to get the Adobe Creative Suite (photoshop...) and design some awesome stuff again. 22 has been great so far. Thank you Kyle! (thank you grant money!) Thank you friends for coming to have cake :)
