Always Late, but Worth the Wait... What a Wonderful June!

First off.. I am going to start this post like most of my other posts!.. With a apology for always giving so many posts all at once, but I really can't help it.. I admit it.. I am a procrastinator.. but hey at least I always post what I want to right?!?! Plus I do have a pretty good excuse.. I am pretty dang busy. I work 40 hour weeks, have to be to work at 6 am which means I have to wake up at 5 am. I then don't get home until 5 (yes I work 4-10's). Then by this time I have to make dinner (although Mark has been really good at helping/doing it all, with this part!), I then do homework/study for my 3 classes and try to keep a somewhat clean house! It's a hectic summer, but it will soon be over! Anywho I will get on with the rest of what I really wanna share!!...

Mark worked 4-10's this week because it was ATK's Lagoon day on Friday, and his boss gave everyone the option to work 4-10's and take Friday off if they wanted to, but they didn't have to go to Lagoon... So we decided to go camping instead! We wanted to invite people, but it was too late of notice, by the time we decided to go! So for the future, if any of you want to go camping please let us know cause we are pretty much professional campers now! We bought all the gear yesterday and also decided that it would be a lot more fun with some other people than just ourselves! Anways.. We decided to head up Blacksmith Canyon (right above Hyrum).. For those of you that know Mark you know he doesn't like to be around a ton of people, I'm sure this probably has something to do with growing up in a small town!!.. Anyways, so he doesn't like the little tiny campsite's where everyone is on top of each other.. he would rather be on the top of the mountain in the snow! So, that's where we headed.. we had no clue where to go and by the time we finally found our perfect spot we had been driving a good 2 hours, but we did find the perfect spot! We ended up at Logan's Peak.. it would have been way faster to go up Logan canyon, oh well it was a fun adventure! I am happy that I had that fun experience with Mark! We did get a little bored and by around 5 pm we were checking our phones every half hour to see if we could go to bed. Mark liked seeing how long he could keep the fire going and how high he could get the flames, he also tried to burn huge logs and break them apart! Here are some fun pics from the evening..

Chilling by the fire.. oh yeah, I'm looking hot in my camo!

Our entertainment for the night.. Introducing.. The Fire!!

Mark in the hail storm.. the whole storm only lasted about 25 minutes, then it was beautiful again!

The most exciting news of all.. We finally are Homeowners.. Well Sorta!!

King of the Mountain!

And Finally.. the biggest Lady Bug I have ever seen.. I was scared- but that is a whole different story.. if you wanna know ask!!

Hey look mom and dad.. no hands, I'm doing it by myself...

This is the Dx, and it has a Lone Ranger tomato!! I hope it grows more than one!!
YEH right, to the no hands thing! I have called my dad like 10 times to ask him, what kind of potting soil, how much to water, if I should cut of the dead leaf's and anything else I needed to ask about!

My dad loves to garden so I think he was pretty impressed when I told him that I wanted to try and grow some tomatoes! I went back and forth with the idea for a couple weeks, but I finally decided to do it because my work gave me 2 free plants! I hopefully soon will have Roma's and Dx's coming out of my ears!! I have I now have a total of 4 tomatoes they are so cute, I am so excited for them to turn red so I can eat them.. mmmm..!!

This plant is the Roma and if you look closely you can see 3 tomatoes!

Oh, my work also gave me free flowers -I had to take them, they were FREE and I do love them!:)

I'll let you know if I kill them off or not by the end of summer because, right now they are not looking so hot!

We did have a very nice anniversary..

And yes this is the best pic we came up with for our 3 Year Anniversary pic!!
(I know we're Goobers!)

We didn't plan on doing anything all too exciting, but as the night rolled on, it just kept getting better! We started things off right, both of us took the day off work. We went to dinner at Hamilton's-a really nice steakhouse in Logan, of course! Then somehow ended up at at a furniture store and YES...Drum roll! .... made a purchase!! Happy 3 Years to me! (Mark got a crappy decoration for his work office and clothes!!)

Out with the Old.....
We will miss you, lovely 70's couches.. moment of silence please!


In with the New!!!
It's hard to see but they really are brown..


This is the love seat, but it does show the color a little more!! (We really are not that messy, we just were packing to head south, and I took these pics to show my mom!)

These pic's are for Ashlie.. she told me to post these almost a month ago!! We finally broke down and got rid of the 70's couches!.. as much as we loved those old couches we really needed to upgrade. We finally had to draw the line and get rid of them.. they were really wobbly- too many legs were missing! The new couches are a really dark brown, almost black, leather, and they recline, we love them!
