4th of July, Texas style

July 15, 2008

I think I can say this has been the best 4th ever. We split the coast of fire works with a few friends and put on our own awesome show!

First we did a little car modeling at the car show in town.

Then we went to a ward picnic with some friends.

So we might have gone a little over board with the fire works this year. But hey, when you live in a state where there is no such thing as illegal fire works at a ridiculously cheap price who wouldn’t?

Anna vs. The Bottle Rocket

I tried setting off a bottle rocket for the first time!

Twilight

Saturday June 28, 2008

I have a little confession, I’ve become SERIOUSLY obsessed with my new book series, Twilight. It’s wonderful!!! A love story about a girl who falls in love with a vampire written by an author from BYU. Now, I know what you’re thinking… “Vampires? Really Anna?” But I’m sure most of you read Harry Potter or you at least saw the movies didn’t you? And that was about wizards… right? I recommend stopping everything you’re doing right now and start reading Twilight. I promise once you start you won’t be able to put it down! I read it in only 4 days. (Much through my husband’s protests. He can’t wait to have a wife back) Anyone who doesn’t know about this book you must must MUST read it.

And anyone who has heard of this splendid book but hasn’t read it – You should be ashamed of yourself! What are you waiting for?

I’m biting my nails for book four to come out in August and for the Twilight movie in December. Only 168 more days!

Update

June 27, 2008

Ok so I have to admit, I’ve kinda had enough of this whole Blogging thing. But at my husband’s request I’ll keep going. It’s been almost a month since the last time I posted but I promise you didn’t miss anything.

We went to Texas: Hung out with family and friends

Gave away Grey to a wonderful home, and miss her terribly!!!

I also started a new job. Yes that’s right, this is job No. 3 for Anna since we’ve moved to North Dakota. But this time I’m here to stay. I now work at a very professional attorney’s office in town. I do real estate law which I have no experience in but I love learning. It’s been stressful but every one is so supportive and very patient.

Dusty started taking his private pilot license this summer. And next week he’ll fly on his own for the first time!!!

Two More Weeks!!

Sunday, May 4, 2008

Only two more weeks until Dusty and I come home to Texas! I am so excited! I already have a small list of things I look forward to doing:

1. Visit the Temple
2. Eat at On The Boarder (North Dakota doesn't know what true Mexican food is)
3. Shop at DSW
4. Hang out with family and friends
5. Eat at On the Boarder
6. Drive the speed limit (People here think 5 under is the speed limit.)

The reason we’re coming home is to give away our Grey dog, which I'm very sad about. But our home and yard is too small for all her energy. So she's going to live with Jared and Vanessa in Texas where she can enjoy playing with their boys William and Parker, and going to the bathroom during the winter with out getting frost bite on her tooshie.

We bought a new dog bed so now Mira, Grey and Lynus think they have to all share one bed.

Spring brought us a WONDERFUL Surprise!!

This weekend has just become the best weekend since we moved to North Dakota.... Why you ask?? Our grumpy neighbors finally moved out!!! I thought about taking a picture of their moving truck but that might not have gone over so well. They lived here for 7 years and we recently found out every one else on our corner was happy to see them leave to.

Now only 8 more months until we can move out!
It's finally spring here! Look at all our green grass.... on our neighbor's side.

We actually don't have any grass because our neighbors killed it all last summer with their trampoline and sand box. But Dusty put up this beautiful fence so the dogs can play out side. They love it and so do I!!!

Lynus trying to break out.
