10 days left!

Until I get MARRIED!!!

I cant wait!

let's bake!

On Friday, I decided that I wanted to bake a pizza.
It was a crazy whim, but a good one!
I used 3 parts whole wheat, 1 part white flour. (So that it was "healthy")
I mixed in basil and garlic to give it some extra flavor!
I kneaded it,
let it rise,
knead,
rise,
3+ hours later, it was ready!
I made a "deep dish" and a regular crust!
It was hard work but they turned out to be DELICIOUS!!
(COLBY was very impressed, as was I)
They looked a little like this:

If only I would have waited 3 days to make it, I could have used this:

Oh well! Now I have a GOOD Reason to make it again!

(I don't know if they read this but, Thank you to Uncle Davis & Aunt Diana for sending this wedding gift! It will be well used!)

Whoa!

Today I looked at the calendar and realized...

One month from now, I will already be married (for 1 day).

One word, Surreal.

I kind of feel like I did when I was moving out here!

I kind of knew what I was doing, but not really...

I didnt really know what I was getting into, but it

has been even better than I could have ever expected it to be.

I have survived and learned so much just from having

to be a responsible adult.

I feel overwhelming feelings of excitement, nervousness, happiness, etc.

I cant wait!

Introducing KRONE with a K

Well after Colby I went hiking on the 4th, we went and picked up a new little puppy!

His name is Krone (with a K) but if you ask Colby its with a Crone (with a C)... Its one of those things we are trying to agree on. (Crone -means old hag; Krone- means Crown)

Anyways... I know its kind of a weird name. There is a story behind it though.

I came up with a list of names one of the names on the was Krone the Warrior King. I was thinking of the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and that pitiful Chinese Crested whose name I thought was Krone as well. Colby agreed with me, he said that was the name. We laughed about it. thought that name would be funny and different! Well... funny, it became even more! We were later informed by Christal and Cade that it wasnt Krone, but Kroll...

We could have changed it, but Krone already knew his name! So we decided to stick with it!

He is so much fun and his training is going very well 90% of the time!

We love him and he is so much fun to watch and play with!

Fourth of July Adventure

Colby and I decided to go hiking for the fourth of July up at Hanging Rock. Usually when we go, we climb the easy trails. This time, we decided to climb the medium trail...

It wasnt too hard! Although I had to explore the wilderness in order to relieve myself because the park rangers wouldn't let me in the bathroom... and having to take a breather every 10 minutes (I know there are no excuses, but the humidity makes it hard to breathe)(Colby didn't enjoy that part)... we made it to the top and back down..(obviously! )

There was another couple that we hiked with almost the whole time. So we "raced" to the top! That added to the fun! Colby and I won, of course!

Once we got to the top we got to see the beautiful smoky mountains! I cant wait for the fall so that we can go and take some even more amazing pictures!

coming... eventually...

Pictures of KRONE (our new puppy) and our Fourth of July hiking adventure...
Eventually meaning getting my camera from Colby's gym bag that I have never seen before.....

change of scenery...

Well, I really, really want to change my room.. Especially before the wedding and Colby moves in. So That way it looks like a NICE room and not in Brittany's words "a college dorm". It would be one boring looking college dorm room!! Anyways, Brittany and I have decided to make a headboard (I have always wanted to do this) So, in efforts to HOPEFULLY do something different I created what I Want my room to look like. I created it in Paint, so its not perfect but it atleast gives me an idea and something to work towards. If you look closely I drew a stick figure in one of the picture frames!!
