Golden 27

27

Have you ever had something that you looked forward to your entire life? Something so far in the future that it seemed like it was never going to happen? Well, for me that "something" was my 27th Birthday! I know it's weird and random but I have always looked forward to my 27th Birthday and I would always imagine what I'd be doing, where I'd be and who I'd be with. I'm glad to report that at 27, I'm thankful to be doing what I'm doing, I'm happy where I'm at and LOVE who I'm with! Although being another year older is bitter sweet and having that "something" that I've thought about since I was kid, come and go, I'm happy.


My Birthday has been a big party and a lot of fun! Brock did so much for me all day and made my day great! He made me breakfast, deep cleaned my car, weeded my garden so I could finish planting, picked up the house and did the dishes. He also got me some pretty sweet gifts and took me out to a yummy dinner! Thanks again love...

Me first thing in the morning with Brock's gift.

(pretty sweet wrapping huh)!

Brock got me these super nice Keen Hiking shoes that I've wanted since last summer! I'm pumped to out and get on the trails!

My friend planned a girls outing for dessert for my Birthday. 

It was super fun and really yummy!

To make my Birthday even better, my mom and 3 of my sisters came up to visit me for a girls weekend! It was so much fun to have them here for a long weekend. We did a lot of shopping, went to a movie, ate a lot of yummy food, watched chick flicks, laughed a lot and did some scrapbooking. They surprised me with some gifts and a birthday breakfast. I was so happy to have them here and super bummed to see them go.

So far....27....has been great!

SNAKE PEEL

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW!

Snakes shed their skin to allow for growth, as well as to remove parasites along with their old skin. (explanation from google).

Brock started working for Wells in 2005 and it's been a huge journey and blessing for us. He quickly excelled at his job and made many great friendships. We moved a few times with the company and he landed his management job here in 2007. He accomplished many great things while with the company and grew a lot as an individual.

However, he started to "out grow his skin" and it was time to "shed it" along with it's parasite! Brock sloughed off Wells a couple weeks ago when he was offered a new job here with Titan. 

He's been on paid vacation for the last couple weeks and is loving every minute of it. He spends most of his days off Bear hunting and fishing.

He will be starting his new job in a couple weeks and he's super excited about it. I'm sure stress will come with a new job because work is work, but hopefully it will take some time to get to that point.  We are looking forward to our new journey and know it will bring growth and learning experiences- we are grateful that it's letting us stay where we are at. 

Good Luck Brock!

Brock's last day with WFF 

He was pretty stoked!

Brock's WFF friends wanted to have a "goodbye" party for him, so we hosted it at our house. It was really fun to hang out with them. We've made really great friends here through the company!

I thought Brock should reward himself for his hard work over that last 5 years so he has his eyes on this scope for his riffle.

 

Congrats Brock!

Spring Yellowstone Trip

We had a mini vacation last weekend with Brock's Parents in West Yellowstone. They decided to come up and use their time share and invited us to "tag along". I was a lot of fun to be together and hang out for the weekend. We played in the condo, watched some Jazz games, hot tubed, ate yummy food and explored the Park. It was sooo relaxing and fun; we all agreed it went way too fast.

Yellowstone in May is still cold

(just thought you should know)

 Grizzly Bears

We saw 4 Grizzly Bears over the weekend, this is the closest one we saw and he wasn't even in the Park! Yep, he was just up the canyon from our house on our way to the park.

We saw a couple Buffalo with their cute babies

Another Grizzly

(this one is harder to see, but it's the brown spot)

Brock's Mama!

Here's Old Faithful....Again!

Brock and his parents watching it, and no Brock isn't the one in Camo this time.(like Father, like son).

This was a herd of Buffalo outside the park on the road on the way home. It's kinda funny to see Buffalo Warning street signs on the highway.
