BIG NEWS!!!
(This is Sophie sitting on the steps of the bridge that goes over the lake by our house.
Yes, we are in walking distance from a lake. A man-made lake-- but it's water!)

Sophie went down a slide ALL BY HERSELF! I know this may not sound big or important to you, but it is. Sophie is the most cautious creature I've ever met. While other kids at the playground are doing dare-devil stunts, Sophie just enjoys watching. She never liked to go down the slide unless I went down with her (and even then I had to persuade her to do it). So imagine my surprise and delight when without a word from me Sophie sits down at the top of the slide and tells me to catch her.

Here's Sophie being happy in our backyard.

Okay, so now about The Move. For those of you who don't know, we moved away from Tucson (tear). We now live in The Great Valleeey (I found it! (I hope someone just caught my allusion right there. It's from Land Before Time if you don't know)). I don't like to say exactly where since we are on the Internets but you get the idea.

Here's a pic showing that I am starting to make our house more homey.
Actually I just liked that you could see my reflection/shadow in the picture.

More pictures of our home to come...

Now for news about AMAZON-AMAZINGNESS!!!!
Me with Mr Darcy, Elizabeth Bennett and Emma. I LOVE BBC. Also with two great books Deep Blue and Devil's Cub.
Dave with his geek-gear.

I traded in 3 or 4 text books with Amazon and look at all the stuff we got from them!! I still have more amazon credit to spare and more books to trade in for amazon credit.

The Man.

My Valentine

This is my husband...

I know what you're thinking.

It's okay to be jealous.

This is a Halloween picture from before we were dating in 2006.
You can see how lovingly I am grasping his arm.
Dave made a very handsome James Bond.
That was the year I won best costume as a nerd.
By the way, this picture is cutting out a cute girl that was on Dave's other arm.


A very special date. Some Winter Formal that we went to.


The day after we got engaged.


Some official engagement pics:



Our Wedding
August 11, 2007

It's no secret that I love Dave. He really makes me happy.
Here's why:
  • He gives me back rubs! (I am always promising to give him back rubs...but I never actually do...)
  • He is almost ALWAYS the first to say "Sorry" even if it's not his fault.
  • He loves his family. That includes me, Sophie, his family, my family. Everyone! He's a GREAT dad, by the way.
  • He helps with the chores.
  • He still loves me even though I'm stinky. I will say no more on the matter.
  • He encourages me in my interests. He's very supportive of everything I do.
  • He likes to go to the mall with me.
  • He is completely faithful and dedicated to me and to God.
  • I could go on but I think Dave is going to catch me writing this any second! You get the idea...


♥♥♥ I know. Now you're REALLY jealous. :) ♥♥♥
