Thanksgiving Break!

The break was so much fun. Tuesday Kyla and Kelly came to Laramie and stayed with us. It was so much fun. Jace and Ashlyn are so much fun. They crack me up. Then on Friday we all headed home to Mountain View because Saturday Dan and Erica were blessing Alayna. It was so fun to them! And I wish that we could have spent more time with them! Alayna is so beautiful! It was great to go home also, I have not been home for awhile! So here are some pictures!

Happy Birthday!

So Craig ordered me a birthday gift and it just got here! I am very happy, he did such a good job picking it out. I told him that I wanted a birthstone ring and I showed him ones that I liked. He said he wanted to pick one out by himself. He did a very good job. I love it! He is so great!

Craig's Birthday!

So yesterday was Craig's 25th birthday! We celebrated a little early and went to Fort Collins and ate at IHOP! Craig loves pancakes and could eat them every meal if I let him! Then we went to the mall and bought us a new game. Ticket To Ride, it is our new favorite game. We bought the German edition, we love the USA edition too. So Sunday I got up and before church make an angel food cake. I have never made one before but it turned out great! I was nervous because while it was cooking it caved in, but it still tasted great!
I just have to say Craig frustrates me when it comes to buying presents for him. I ask him what he wants or needs and he tells me, "I don't need anything, or want anything". This makes it so hard. But I ended up getting him The Prestige, a license plate cover, and I found uno cards that have NL baseball players on them. I saw those at the store and I just knew that I had to ge them for Craig! So here are some pictures I took of Craig, he really likes to make silly faces when I take pictures of him!

Some pictures of us

A New School Year!

So last week was our first week of school. It really wasn't bad. I don't think this semester is going to be to hard. I am very excited because this is my last year. It is very nice to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Also, with school brings football. I really like football and so does Craig. We were able to watch the Cowboys win on Sat. Both Craig and I think this season is going to be a scary season, but I guess we will see. Well other than school nothing really too exciting is going on.

Rockies

Here are Craig's parents. The Rockies were playing the Mets. And the Mets won! It was a great game.

Craig has this thing that when I take a picture of us he has to make a silly face.

View of the Field

So Craig loves baseball, his favorite team is the New York Mets! Before we got married I hated baseball. I could not stand to watch it live or on TV. And now he has got me addicted to it! I love going to baseball games. I can even stand to watch it on TV now. Crazy what changes once you get married. Well this summer we went to a few Rockies games. We are hoping to go to one more before the season is over.

Here are just a few of our wedding pictures
