Let the Travels Begin

No, we haven't left for Europe yet, but yes, we are going on great adventures, seeing great people, experiencing new things! (Big surprise, we can find these things without crossing oceans.)  Ty and I have been very blessed. These people and places are a huge part of our journey, and definitely the most important part. In the words of a typical teenage girl: F-O-E!

Great people!

Wyatt gets his "lovin' lamb." A little Arkansas humor.

Handsome Dakota and beautiful Jess! <3

Great Grandma Marie. We loved getting to see her... and all the baby pictures of Ty in her house.

Grandma and Grandpa Stelting--we learned so many new card games for our trip!

If you ever wonder what married college students do in their spare time... blanket forts is the answer!

Great Places

Along the way to visit family, we've seen some pretty cool sights!

The red canyon in Oklahoma had to be one of my favorites. Here's a picture of my main man hanging out and enjoying that red dirt!

Great Things

It's been hard focusing on the "here and now" with so many exciting adventures right around the corner, but this break has given us many blessings.

Ty and I celebrate our first Christmas as a married couple. Added bonus--we both continued to be 4.0 students. I like the think we've beaten the odds in many ways. Oh, and Chopper the Cha-weiner makes a cameo.

Princess beds are NOT just for beautiful little girls named Siena!

You're never to old to be a party animal! (Haaaa, dead animal puns, classic blog humor)

The ultimate Oreo cake. Had to snap a picture before the fam devoured it, and trust me, it tasted even better than it looked!

Sunset "Lake"

Ty and his dad enjoy the walk. 

Enjoying some wildlife.

Got Milk Ads--The story of how Tucker's Homework assignment went horribly, horribly wrong.

He looooooooooooooves milk!

Have you ever seen anyone happier about drinking a glass of milk? I didn't think so.

Perfect before bedtime!

... Yeah, milk.
