Finally!!!

Well, not a whole lot has been happening around here. Troy and I have been working on the house a bit and making some good progress, finally! I can't wait to have it all done. We went on a nice bike ride around the river and a beautiful neighborhood. I love the houses there. We found a cool little swampy park with lots of big birds and tons of turtles. We also explored the "downtown" of the neighborhood--yes, they have a downtown with a few stores, a salon, and a cafe. We walked into one of the stores that had been turned into a workshop and this guy was building a boat. He is planning a solo journey across the Atlantic Ocean in this boat he is making. Crazy!! This guy lives for adventure--he has hiked to the North Pole solo and tons of other adventures like that. That was interesting! I went to a craft fair which was pretty disappointing. Most of the stuff was just junky trinkets that just looked like clutter. I found a cool bead store that I am going to check out again. I am addicted to beady necklaces lately, and have been interested in making my own. This place has everything you could ever want, and you can make your stuff right there in the store--cool! So I will be doing that in the next few weeks. We also went to the rodeo. It was so fun! I love rodeos and can't wait for more to come to town. This weekend we are going to Atlanta to do a little bit of shopping. Hopefully we can make it to Ikea. I could spend all day in that store! And for the big news......we FINALLY have a wedding date!!! It is December 10th in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. I am so excited to actually have things lined up now.
