Goodbye Tree

Sadly, the tree that has shaded our house for years and years grew old and died, and needed to be cut down. Here are some before and after pictures of our house.

This is a picture taken many years ago (that is my dad and his twin) you can see the tree in the upper left corner.

This is the tree after being toilet papered (I believe that my dad and his brothers were the culprits)

This is the tree, looking nice and full.

This is the tree before it was cut down.

This video show the process of how the tree came down.

This is our house now. Even though the tree wasn't providing much shade or cover near the end, I feel like our house looks naked now.

Happy Anniversary!!

One year ago today, Daniel and I were sealed for time and all eternity. I am so grateful to have him in my life. We have loved being married and look forward to eternity together!

Love you babe!

Daniel started his new job this week, and although it was very hot and exhausting, I am so excited for him. It sounds like a great company and it will be a great opportunity for him. Here is a picture after his first day. You might not be able to tell, but his has racoon eyes because he got sunburned. I guess in his time off he forgot what it was like to work in the sun all day. :)

Today, I decided to try one of those websites that takes your pictures and shows you what your child will look like. I uploaded photos of Daniel and I, and asked to see what our child would look like if it was a girl. This is the picture it gave me! ???

HB volleyball tournament

Every year there is a volleyball tournament for all the architectural firms in SLC. Well, in years past, I have only gone as a spectator, but this year I decided to play. Our firm divided into two teams - the serious team and the just for fun team. The other interior designers and I were on the just for fun team with some of people from out office. We played 3 games...and lets just say we did have fun :) We ended up in the losers bracket where we lost again and were cut from the competition. It was fun to play and it was a pretty nice day, especially when the sun went behind the clouds.

This is me smashing the plotter (like on Office Space)
