DIY Project

I'm a huge fan of DIY projects. For a long time now I have wanted to try my hand at refinishing a chair. Last week I went to the thrift store and found a chair that looked just like one my grandma used to have. I knew I had to have it. I had a lot of fun with this project and even made throw pillows with the leftover material.

2010 Wellness Program

Brian and I are participating in our health insurance wellness program. We have a wellness challenge every two months. If we complete the challenge we get cash back at the end of the year. The first challenge is "Easy on the sugar and exercise 30 minutes, 5 days per week." I can honestly say that so far, we have done exceptionally well. I'm so proud of us. Instead of eating treats or desserts, we eat more fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water. We have our own mini gym in the basement thanks to Heather and Spencer for the treadmill and thanks to Matt and Nicole for the bike trainer. Although I can hardly wait for the weather to warm up so I can start running/biking outside. It gets pretty dang boring starring at the file cabinet for 45 minutes every night.

Merry Christmas

Instead of sending a boring old Christmas card out this year, we decided to do a video Christmas card. Here it is and enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Brian!

I hope you have a great day. Thanks for being such a wonderful husband and my best friend! I love you so much! Sorry for the young picture but it is so dang cute.

Happy Birthday!

Vancouver and Seattle

While in Vancouver we visited Stanley Park. It rained on us the entire time but we still walked around checking things out. It was a really cool park.

These are some raccoons we came across while in Stanley Park visiting the Rhododendron Garden.

Brian wanted to check out Colonnade while in Seattle. It's a Mtn bike park under the freeway. Here is a pictures of Brian standing on a jump that he really wanted to try out.

It Was A Joyful Noise

Cheryl and I just got back from Seattle and Vancouver. We went up to see a friend and to see U2 in concert. Enjoy the pics.

Fall Colors

Every year Brian and I like to go for a ride to check out the fall colors and get our pictures taken. This year we drove out to Draper and had a fun day enjoying all the beautiful colors. I love living in a place with four seasons.
