The Good Life

The handyman!

So Edwin and I like to team up on the work around the house and yard... and by team up I mean he does his thing I do mine... :) hahaha! JK!!! It all started one Friday night we wanted to spend the next day doing something fun! Edwin typically doesn't get off work very early so in order to get the yard work done before dark it took us doing it together. Much to my great joy!!!! We have a riding lawn mower like everyone probably saw in a previous post. He taught me how to ride it and I mowed while he did the weedwacker! :D It was so much fun! The spiders in between the trees kind of got to me, but we had fun. And he was so proud of me. So the next week I mowed the lawn again! Yay! :) And Edwin made a picnic bench. Without any plans! He just did it! He's so amazing. :) So here it is!

On our back porch.

It's pretty big, we have yet to put it to good use.

Jump Master!!!

Here are pictures from Edwin's competition. It was really hot that day..... And I loved seeing him at work!!! It was awesome! There were multiple jumps and I actually wasn't able to get any clear pics of his but from these you get the idea.

Can you see the top of the parachute?

This is one of my favorites

Clear picture of the plane. You can see the open door and the open part of the back of the plane that they jump out of.

They jumped so fast it was hard to get them coming right out of the plane. This was the best I could get.

After the jump they had to find their way here, poor guys, it was so hot in their uniforms and they jumped pretty far away.

They jumped three at a time

He's so freaking cute!

OLD!!!!

HAHA!!! Edwin made so much fun of me when I turned 25... Well, payback baby!!! What comes around goes around... ok so you really can't help that everyone has birthdays but it was so nice to give it right back to him. :D His delicious birthday cake that, yes, I made... 25 candles in the shape of 25. He was so cute. He loved it!

Birthday boy!

The cake with sparkler candles!

I love the bow!

Latest on Zeus!!!

Did I mention Zeus is missing a toe!? On his big hind foot! We didn't find out until we clipped his nails for the first time. My first thought was poor baby!! Then I thought it's fate! He fits right along in our little family! We were definitely supposed to have this bunny. And he's getting big! I didn't realize it until I looked at how small he was in my hands at the first pics we have of him. He's not full grown yet but he has definitely gotten bigger.

Our neighbors daughter Zoe. She loves the bunny! She's absolutely adorable. Her mom, my friend, Brianna said she wakes up in the morning saying, I want Annie, let's go Annie's house! So cute.

A common bizarre position for our baby. Haha! He stayed like that for probably about ten minutes before moving.

My sweetheart!!!

Have I mentioned that I LOVE being married?!! Well I do!!! Look what Edwin surprised me with for no reason! Well, not NO reason... cuz he loves me!!! :D This past month and a half has been a wonderful adventure! I'm so incredibly happy being with my husband in our home with our little rabbit living our lives together. I feel like the wait to be able to be with him, as miserable as I was not having him by my side, him being all the way across the country, was nothing because of how happy I am with the long life we have to live together. I never thought that I could ever be this happy. I hope I always miss him during the day when he leaves for work. I hope that when he is at work and I go in our room and his scent is floating in the air I will always long for him to be home. I hope my love for him and his for me will keep growing everyday. I hope we never stop learning new things about each other. I hope it never stops being an exciting adventure. I hope he always surprises me. I hope... this will never end...

Camping!!! :D

In mid July, shortly after the boys left, Edwin and I went on a spur of the moment camping trip! Note to self, not the brightest idea ever... We forgot a few things, being in such a hurry to get there and set up before dark. You know, the usual, working flashights and lanterns... that's right, WORKING flashlights and lanterns. We brought them, they just didn't work. Hahaha!!! It was an adventure. I loved it!!! I love things not going according to plan, it keeps things exciting! Here's some pics! We did remember the most important part of camping, besides the tent, MARSHMALLOWS!!!!!!!! They were so yummy! Here's pics!!!
