Memorial Day

We went horseback riding down at the house of a guy that Brett works with and is good friends with. It was fun. Came out with a few sore muscles and one nasty bruse on my leg from the saddle, but all was good. Brett looks much more comfortable on a horse if i do say so myself.

Kittens!

We got two little kittens that we have adopted into our family. They are about five or six weeks old. The kitties were found by Brett's sister's neighbor and we decided to take them in.

The darker one we named Shade, and the one with the strip on her nose we named Ash. They are both girls and very playful and small. They are lots of fun to have around, but a bit of work as well.

They are funny to watch as well, Shade it seems is consistantly hungry and always a complainer, she is often meowing about needing more food or cause she wants to be held. She also has a bit of a fat but which makes her look like she is waddling as she walks or runs around. Funny thing for Shade is that when she eats she can't just use her mouth, she has to have two feet and her whole face in the bowl, as a result she often has wet front paws and food on her face which looks like eyebrows and such.

Ash on the otherhand is more of a huntress, she eats nicely and only what she needs then starts chasing anything that moves. She is also quite the cuddler though, as you can just barely pet her and she will start to purr very loudly. She normally sits pretty quiet when you hold her and is content to stay put for the most part. She is also the quieter of the two, unless they are wrestling together.

So far we are enjoying having them around very much.

Just Us :)

Sara's Wedding

My best friend growing up was just married in the Bountiful Temple on April 30th, 2011 to her sweetheart Stephen Workman. This was such a special and beautiful occasion that we were privileged to be a part of. It was a wonderful experience to see her sealed to her spouse and to share her special day with her. It was also an opportunity to remember my own wedding day and to be able to spend some time with friends whom I hadn't seen in awhile. She looked beautiful and very happy and I look forward to seeing her that way always.

Coldness

So this is a little behind but I thought I should share anyway. Sometime in April Brett was talking to his sisters and some of them had recently gone to the zoo. It sounded quite fun and recently the weather had been rather nice so we decided we would go the next day.

That morning I had class and it was fairly cold but not too bad, however by the time class was over it was then windy and rainy and very cold, but thinking that maybe salt lake wouldn't be the same we decided to go anyway. As it turned out it was a very cold day. We would walk quickly from building to building to see the animals, as it was cold enough that only a few birds, the rhinos and elephants were outside. We probably should have just waited for a warm sunny day, but we still had fun even as we froze together.

A day or two later it was again one of those cold rainy days that you don't want to be outside it, so we made sugar cookies together using some of our many cookie cutters. It was quite fun and we enjoyed eating them over the coming days as well. :)
