Boardwalk Bowl

Balls

Mo$ is the winner

Last minute decision to bowl..... and it was so much fun. We are the wrist bowlers but we will get better. Love is fun and bowling with someone you love and your best friend is- obviously- the best.

Canker sore

today Sam has a canker sore in his mouth, he is really sad about it. ITS REALLY BIG and painful he is so cute when he is in pain. He gets all sad (or as we like to call it Sady) then I get to try and help him which is really fun. Even though I don't know what to do it's just nice that I get to be that person in his life now.

dont worry this isn't sam

Carol

This 89 year old woman came into our office today, you would never ever know she was 89, she is so full of life and is a talker. She went one to tell me that her and her husband are going to be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. She told us so many stories of their love, marriage, and communication it was amazing. I just dreamt of how much I am going to love Sam when I'm 89. I have so much to look forward to and I am so so excited. The hard things seem scary and some stories she told me I got a little worried but ultimately she always went back to "I love him" or "He's a kick." God has given me my best friend and I say it so much but I am extremely blessed. I want in 60 years to be singing my husbands praises and I know I will.





FREEEEEEEEEEEE

Sam and I looked around our house the other day and were really disappointed that we hadn't "moved in" yet. We still have boxes siting around and were just throwing things into different places, so we both decided that we would spend our time this weekend trying to "move in." I made myself a list and headed out with my GF Chelsea (I learned that she can fit into really small containers and if I ever need to hide her from the copes I can shove her in a box)  to go and find some deals in Watsonville. This adventure ended up at Target because Watsonville didn't have anything to offer us. After picking up random things and listening to the girl on her cell phone talking about Jersey shore we headed home. I am the sort of person that likes to put things up ASAP so of course the new bookshelf i bought would need to go up. However Chelsea and I though we are very talented we could not put this thing together, and even destroyed a bunch of screws. Sam ended up coming home and setting up just to find out that the shelf was a big piece of poo.

Then we just decided to focus of the the things we already have in our house. One of our neighbors saw me sanding down somethings and thought I would like to come and look at some things she has that she didn't want anymore. I thought she was going to give me a few little knick-knacks but ended up letting me look at everything in her huge house and pick whatever I wanted! It was seriously amazing. This woman has been through a lot lately too so it was crazy how loving and open she was being with us. She even let us play with her chiwahwahs which I loved because I love those little dogs. Anyway, it was really cool to hang out with this lady and even offer to help her with everything she is going through and let her know that Sam and I are praying for her and will help her with anything we can. basically we got a bunch of things we weren't expecting and we got them for free and we created a bunch of stuff it was a good day and lots of fun!

Let it snow

As everyone know the weather has been crazy lately! So in the midst of this big storm we (we being Sam, myself, and the Nowlin crew) decided to go to Tahoe. After a 7 hour car ride, in n' out burger , and some dangerous driving we finally made it to the Williams cabin! Oh and it is so great there is nothing else to do here but relax. I am so excited about all the fluffy snow and being here with my sexy man it just makes it so magical. All the trees are covered and it will start snowing every now and then, so I try and get as many snow kisses as possible because they are cold and silly. We have had a very full day today... See right now I am in snowboard training. I am trying to catch up to all these already good people, and it isn't easy I have the broses and sore body to prove it. But it was so great just being out in the snow with everyone and having the fam help me and encourage me so much. My very patient husband is one amazing (not to mention sexy) teacher. And you know what I actually felt very confident today with my snowboarding skills. There has been about 5,maybe more, feet of snow in the past 2 days! So it Was really hard to get through (well for me the Noob sauce) but a new adventure and it was "fun" even if I almost cried a bunch of times. I never knew I would love snowboarding.

The lake!
