Meet Jonathan.

Soph and I met him while we were on our walk today. He was in his front yard selling ice cubes. Yes, ICE CUBES. And he was so excited about it. I was so disappointed I didn't have any money with me, but Jonathan was nice enough to give me 2 ice cubes for FREE. Soph and I went right home after our walk, jumped in the car and went back to buy more. By this time he was just giving them away for free. We paid him anyway. fifty cents. What a deal.
He made my day.

IdaHO

Okay- this is a seriously long post... but for a seriously fun vacation. We got to go to my BF families ranch in Idaho with my whole family and her family. There are just no words for this place. It is right at the base of the Sawtooth mountains, and it is BEAUTIFUL! Not to mention, it was nonstop fun all week long.




Troy turned 31 the day we got back! love you babe.
Me, Craig, Cam... sparklers
Troy thought it would be a good idea to sport a stache for the week.. I think he was right:)

Utah!

The first week of our vacation we got to spend in Utah. We had a busy week filled with golfing (I think Troy golfed 4 times:), swimming, bbq's, and just hanging with friends and family... we loved every second.
