Happy 3 Week Birthday to Savannah!!




We just got another e-mail from Savannah's current caretakers (We don't like to say owners because we are her owners; nothing against her current ones because they are amazing!) and she sent us some more pictures. Isn't she the cutest puppy ever?!! The third picture is our favorite!!

P.S. Since most people ask us when we plan on having babies and most of our friends are having babies, consider Savannah as close to as baby as we are ready for!!! :)

We Named Her!!

Our puppy's name is Savannah Praise. Savannah was an idea given to us by a friend and we liked it but were making sure we didn't like anything better. Then, we went to email the current caretakers and she is currently residing in Savannah, Missouri. We might call her MO but we don't know yet. Praise because we prayed about her and the perfect time and God is providing just that! He is so AWESOME!!!

God's Creation






On our fabulous weekend just the two of us, we went and saw some of the most spectacular things. We hung out at the pool most of the weekend, but we spent all of Sunday in Glacier National Park. Seriously, everyone needs to come to Montana just to see this. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Here are a few snapshots! (sorry about the vertical pictures...tried everything to turn them, but blogger won't let me. So, turn your head to the left!)

Our New Puppy


We picked out a new puppy this weekend. She is two weeks old and living in Missouri right now. We need some hlep though. We will get her at the beginning of August (she'll be old enough to fly then), but we want the current caretakers to start calling her a name. What do you guys think?

Home at Last!

That is right; I am home at last. Can you believe it? Actually, Cory is with me right now as I write this post! How exciting!! (And he is just as annoying because he just burped in my ear!) This post is short because we ware going to go have fun (take that to mean whatever you want). Guess what? Cake that has been in a freezer for over a year and across 3 states still tastes amazingly good!! Talk to you after our amazing weekend in Whitefish, MT (in the mountains) Yeah!!

4 Down, 0 to Go!!!!!!!!!

Alleuia! Alleuia!! Can you believe it?! I officially have no more weddings this summer. I had my last on in Red River, and everything went off without a hitch!! We were a little nervous about that over Spring Break because small towns can cause problems with availability of certian services.

Right now, I am celebrating father's day and my first wedding anniversary with Cory's parents in Peyton, CO. Cory is in Great Falls, MT working the night shift on his post that started today! While we can't be together, I am super excited about my anniversary surprise when I get home. All I know is that I was not allowed to have plans from June 22nd to June 24th! How exciting?!!

I head to Fort Collins, CO tomorrow and then, back "home" on Thursday! Yeah! Wait a minute... I am not quite sure what home is. No, I know; where Cory is!!!

On to Red River, NM

So I decided I better post today because Red River is not known for its unbelivably access to modern day technology. Tomorrow morning, we pack 5 people into my Toyota Corolla and head south for the weekend. Should be interesting I hope!! After that wedding, my sister-in-law and I come back up to the Springs to spend Father's Day with the in laws. From there, I leave for Fort Collins on June 18th and then Montana on June 20th or the 21st. I am most looking forward to the surprise Cory has for me. All I know is that I am not allowed to make any plans for June 22nd-24th. How exciting!!!

By the way, any pointers for how get the top of our wedding cake from Colorado to Montana? Kara, the baker, thought you might know something about this? :)

3 Down, 1 to Go!!

I am officially 75% done with the wedding extravanganza tour!! 10 days or so and I will be back home with my amazing husband whom I miss terribly. But, the third wedding was hilarious and fun! We danced and danced and danced until my feet hurt so bad that the next morning my feet still were sore! I got to see all my college roommates from previous years, which was so much fun.

The last few days I have been hanging out the Perkins and the Holdiers. Daniel Holdier ( a long time friend of the Knops) got his wisdom teeth pulled on Friday and is doped up on Vicodin. Therefore, I played chauffeur today for him because he had some errands to run. He is such a faithful 17 year old. He was dating and girl for awhile and finally broke up with her because he is Christian and he is Jehovah witness. What is awesome to see is that because he broke up with her, she has started searching for the truth. Pray for Daniel if you ever get the chance because it is tough on him. He loves her but loves her enough to leave her to find God. How cool is that?

Anyway, I leave Thursday for Red River, NM and my final wedding of the summer!! Yeah!

Still Driving!

I don't think I knew I could ever drive this much!! Last night I drove up to Denver to pick Allison up so that she and her fiance wouldn't have to deal with two different cars in the Springs. I love her and it is worth it but man, I think I live in a car! Not much else is going on here. I went shopping when Chris and Cassie (they were the 2nd wedding and live in Colorado Springs). It gave me great memories of the time when Cory and I had to play the wedding gift exchange and purchase. It was hilarious!!!! Al and Zach get married on Saturday and then I have my last wedding on June 16th. Cory and I are down to the 2 week mark of being reunited too which is awesome! He has a surprise for me when I get back to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary!! I can't believe it has been a year.

Cory posts to the field tomorrow and will be back on Monday. The last tour he had a blast on because he got to arrest someone! Don't worry because it wasn't a real threat on the missile site, but some mistakes in paperwork led to a real arrest. He of course loved it!

Keepin' Busy Sort Of

So, who would have guessed that on this trip I would be laying weed blocking liner and mowing the Perkins lawn? Not me, but it is keeping me busy. Tonight David and I are going to Denver to hand out with Allison and Zach some more. They get married in exactly a week and David can't go to the wedding because he is going on a missions trip with Athletes in Action in Africa. How cool is that? It should be really fun for him. Tomorrow I am spending the entire day with the Knops in Peyton. It should be fun!

Cory got home from the field yesterday and he is enjoying the weekend with some Xbox of course. We just got done talking and he is leading the Bible study for our small group tonight! We really have gotten thrown in fast but totally enjoying it! That is the last few days. We live pretty boring and dull lives sometimes! :)
