bummer..

We just found out Austin doesn't get his GI bill to pay for his college education

we signed up a couple weeks ago, thinking it'd pay for all his school and hoping we'd start in January. Today we got a letter back from the Air Force saying he has to be "active reserve" to qualify, as of December last year he became "inactive ready reserve" so now he gets NO money for school. He had no idea, neither did I.

big time bummer. :(

do you know..

how to change the setting on blogs that it will show me when my friends posted last?

Happy birthday!

August has many birthdays; my sis Tina, a few friends, and lots on the parks side--Oliver, kelsey, Jody, tawny, tucson, and Voilet and mine on the same day. But on the 8th of this month was marley's one year birthday! She is our little baby and we love her so much

he's a keeper

we went riding the 4wheelers the other day, it was dirty & so much fun.

I love this man so much... i am so lucky he picked me :) I never thought I'd marry a man that loved guns, a hunter and camping so much... but I can't get enough of him! we went shooting on Monday with our brother in law Brian, i had a blast the whole time, just listening to them! I even shot Austin's new AR and his hand gun. I am so happy I'm a camping, getting dirty, gun shooting girl... I love everything about my hubby & being with him for eternity.

one year!

We have been married one year today! it's crazy how fast it's went by, but BY FAR the best year of my life! As Ella would say "I'm glad Austin married you" I'm very glad you married me Auz. I love you so much! You're the best thing to ever happen to me and i can't wait to spend the rest of forever with you.

(Our photographer wasn't there when we came out the temple, so THANK YOU Cortney for being there to take these pictures!)

good news

My mom and dad went to a councilor this week. I really really hope and pray that things can start getting better. I'm really proud of them for going. I gotta keep being patient and see how it turns out.

moab!

here's just a few random pictures from our Moab trip. It was a blast and we didn't even break anything! We went with Cortney and his fam. they are a cute little family. He took these awesome pictures.


here is our camp site. we camped the 2nd night there, the first night we couldn't find any open camping spots so we got a hotel. It rained really hard Saturday night but our tent kept us nice and dry so it turned out good. Our hotel was really nice too.



Moab is gorgeous. we like it


Cortney's jeep is the black one, it's pretty sweet. Austin's is the red jeep.. it's also pretty awesome. We love going out in it & it runs really well. double plus!

What a good looking guy. I think i'll keep him. :)

I'm not going to lie, there was a few places that Austin drove up/down that FREAKED me out. I had to get out and walk up
