A visit from Allie & Owen

I love having company and this week I got a great surprise! My cousin Allie and her son Owen came to visit Monday till Wed afternoon. Allies husband works out of town quite a bit and he left for WA on Monday for a few days. So they decided to drive over the mountain to Bend. We had a blast hanging out in the sun, playing cribbage, going for walks and just talking. It has been way to long since Allie and I have spent quality time together and I forgot how much fun we have. On Tues night we played a cribbage tournament and between hands we got to being crazy and laughing so hard. It was so much fun and totally reminded me of when we were young! Here are some pictures from there visit.
Thanks again Allie for coming to stay with us!!

Wordless Wednesday

I have been married for 4 years!!

As crazy at that sounds it doesn't supprise me at all. Ever since I was a little girl I couldn't wait to get married so the fact that I was married at 21 doesn't shock me or my close friends and family.

Looking back on the big day there really isn't anything huge that I would change. I still love my dress, love the colors we chose, love, love, love the flowers, the cake, the location and the people in the wedding party. I guess if I picked one thing to change it would be the way I wore my hair! Lame I know but that's all I could think of.

The past 4 years have been the best and most challenging 4 years. Not only did Tyler and I move to Bend right after getting married (the day we got home from our honeymoon to be exact) which put us 3 hours away from both sides of our family, but we also started our own family. 2 HUGE things!! As sad as I get at times that we are away from our families, it has been such a great way for Tyler and I to rely fully on one another and build our life together. These are only 2 examples of the blessed life that we are living together!!
I am excited to see what the next year has in store for us.
Happy Anniversary Tyler!
I love you!
