Birthday/Christmas

So I get questions about what I want for my birthday or Christmas. Emily is the gatekeeper to that information. But if all else fails, a gift card to Lowe's will work. We've got plenty of stuff we could use from that store.

Building a Shed

So my dad and I put together a shed. Time to recover some space in the garage. It'll be nice to park both cars inside, especially come winter. It turned out to be a pretty good match with the appearance of the house.

We hand-mixed and -poured almost 2000 lbs. of concrete for the foundation. Those holes ended up being a little bigger than we planned.

BREAKING NEWS: Camping at Fort Buenaventura

So we finally went camping. It's up in Ogden at Fort Buenaventura. Camping is always a good time, plus we're up here with my cousin's family. Although I do have something to say about the site—railroad tracks 200 feet from your tent makes for a crappy camp spot. Seriously...

P.S. blogging while camping is hard work. I hope you all appreciate the breaking-news nature of our blog.

This Is Me

I'm not sure why, but this comic strip is so me. The alternate caption reads, "The worst part is when the sidewalk cracks are out-of-sync with your natural stride."

Happy Birthday Em!

One Post to Rule Them All..

The Highlight of My Day

So Emily's been back east for the last week visiting some friends with her sister, and I've been here... alone, doing the same kinda things I did before I started dating her. Weird work schedules, hanging out with the single people at my house, going to the gym every day... It's not bad, and I enjoy it. Well, at least I used to. I've had a taste of something better now, and I couldn't go back. :bounce: And what's funny is how it's the simple things that she does that seem to have the biggest impact.

On the morning she was going to leave, I stopped by her work to say hi and bye, thinking it would be the last time I'd see her for awhile. But then she surprised me later by stopping by my work quickly on her way to the airport. It was a short and sweet visit, to be sure, but it was awesome! The highlight of my day, actually. :D And tonight she comes home and I can't help but laugh at how excited I am. I'm not sure why the small things in life can count for so much, but they sure do.
