Bowling Date

It has been quite depressing being back to work and the freezing cold in Poky! However, we had a fabulous time bowling with our friends the other night. We are so grateful for good friends we have met here.

A reason to celebrate!

Our one year anniversary was on March 20th which also happened to fall over Alan's Spring Break. We planned a trip to San Clemente California and were lucky to be able to stay in a beautiful beach house thanks to Damon and Missy! I'm not really thrilled with the pictures we took. It gets a little tricky when there is just two of us. We got pretty creative with the self-timer.

Check out our beautiful view from the beach house!

We went to L.A. one day and saw Cats. I really wish it would have been Wicked but we still had a good time despite the three hours it took us to get there because of traffic. This is definitely one positive about living in Poky.

We were able to meet up with Kylee and Eddie after the show at The Grove and went to dinner. It was so great to see them.

Shopping at the Spectrum

Alan braved the ocean water a couple times...I opted to lay on the beach.

Alan purchased his first pair of rainbows and is reaping the benefits!

We took a couple of bike rides on the beach. Oh how I wish I could do this every morning.

I think I gained 10 pounds due to excessive amounts of frozen yogurt. We found one awesome place that had red velvet flavor...delicious! I'm thinking of opening a franchise in Poky...

This picture was taken from a branch in a tree thanks to Alan's creativity.

Our good friend Tally was in Cali for his Spring Break. He came over one night and we had smores on the beach...so fun.

We had a fabulous trip and are dreading being back in the grind of things. We were warmly greeted by Pocatello with some snow...lucky us!

Visitors

We were so lucky to have my parents come to Poky and spend the weekend with us! Lucky for us we not only got to spend time with my parents but we got some much needed projects done around our house. One of those projects consisted of power washing our garage. Let me explain...we had the brilliant idea a couple weeks ago to spray paint our kitchen table. Due to the cold weather, we figured we would do it in our garage. This was not the best idea I have ever had. After being intoxicated by the fumes, we found brown residue covering the entire garage and everything in it. To make a long story short, we have been parking our car in the driveway for the last couple of weeks because I am paranoid we are going to track the dust into our house.

While the men worked, my mom and I shopped and sewed. It was so nice to spend some time with my parents and it made me realize how much I miss spending time with my family whenever I want. I can't wait for the day when we can hopefully live close to our family again. Thanks for coming mom and dad!
