Dogs do the funniest things!

Jack and I were making the bed when Hannah decided where she wanted to lay... this is where she ended up!

She loves Jack so much!


Here is a cute one of Harvey sleeping on me at the cabin...


Dogs are such great animals! No matter what happens in your day, dogs are always so excited and happy to see you when you get home!

ROGGIES!

Some Purty Flurs!

In light of the recent good weather, my mom, sister and I ventured out to buy some flowers for planting. We went to 3 different stores (Engh, Home Depot, Wasatch Gardens) to find everything we were looking for. My mom is an absolute expert on flowers!

After shopping, it was time to get the flowers potted and planted.
Oh my gosh... we found the cutest little ceramic garden mushrooms I just had to have (see below)! Jack also mowed and weed eated... good job babeh! :)

Spending the day with my mom and sister was so enjoyable! We definitely need to do little things like this more often.

Here are the results of a hard day at work:

Cutest Mushrooms... EVER!


If you can't tell, I'm pretty stoked about these!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

This weekend was such a wet one so let's play some word association, shall we?!

rain = water
water = wet dirt
wet dirt = mud
mud = my dogs digging in it
digging in the mud = not good for cream furniture

RESULT:



Damnit... I am so ready for sunshine and warm weather...

April 26th, 2009 (10:48pm)

I got this text from my dad:

I have been thinking about you and where you are in your life and the good decisions you have made and I want to say how proud I am of you and how much I love you. -dad-

Of course I replied to the text... but I just want everyone to know how much I love my dad. I am so grateful to have him and my mom as my parents. They've guided me without pushing, they have given of themselves so us kids would never have a need for anything, and have always been there... whether it be for advice or a shoulder to cry on.

I am so grateful for the close relationship my whole family has. We are always there for one another and love getting together. Everyone fits into our family. We frequently have people asking to become a part of the Freed family. Come one, come all!

Spring is FINALLY here!


I am so excited spring has FINALLY arrived! I keep thinking about all of the spring projects I want to do this year... starting with:
  • Yard work: pulling weeds, planting flowers, trimming, pruning, mowing, edging
  • Home Improvements: ya know... those little "fix-it" things that you never get around to doing
  • Cleaning the garage: which hasn't been done since we moved in
  • Decorating the basement: we haven't really done a whole lot with the basement since we moved in. We don't have a lot to do since the whole house was redone but I want to add some of "us" into it. I would like to get some paint for the spare bedroom and "craft room", finish decorating the downstairs bathroom, and figure out what to do with our downstairs living room aka "the hole".

I don't know what it is that causes people to go into this "spring cleaning" mode, but I love it! Now that we have our own house, it is much more rewarding!


Happy cleaning, everyone!

Come and gone!

Well, as you know, our wedding has come and gone. Words can't express how special our day was. We had our immediate family and a few of our closest friends in attendance. The ceremony was soooo intimate... and really how Jack and I always imagined! Words can't even begin to describe how magical the whole day was! THAT is what it is all about.

After getting married on Lindquist Beach in St. Thomas we set sail on a private 65' sailboat. We sailed over to Christmas Cove. The water was about 20-25 feet deep and crystal clear to the bottom. We enjoyed some rum punch, some went snorkeling, all followed by a delicious meal. We had music playing, everyone was laughing and having a fantastic time. We were with all of the people we love, in some far off tropical place, and realized that "This is what it's all about". That feeling is still overwhelming to this day. A PERFECT DAY!

Here are some pictures... not that they do the day justice, but just to give you an idea:
