friday

Ashley, Brad and I (Joel's working) are going to the Red Barn sale today. I am so excited! I really hope that we find some good stuff. We can't stay for very long because we have to work...but I'm just excited that we get to go!!

AND....I can take pictures with my digital camera!!!!!! Ashley got a new one from her grandpa....and she gave me her old one!!!! Seriously...she is the best ever. I carry it with me wherever I go....I just want to take so many pictures!

The last couple of days have been absolutely crazy. Good crazy. I am so happy for Ashley and Brad, and school starts soon, and we now have a Bed, Bath, and Beyond AND Old Navy in this great town of Moscow.

My dad's birthday is this weekend. Normally, we don't really do all that much...I usually rack my brain trying to figure out what to get him and just end up getting him a bag of peanut M&Ms (his fav). We have never really gotten along all that well, but after the wedding things have changed a little. Every time Joel and I go to Post Falls they load us up with fresh veggies from their huge garden, a cooler full of meat from their farm animals, and tons of offers to go through the shop to see if there is anything that we might need. So this year I've decided to do kind of a joint birthday gift for my parents (their birthdays are 10 days apart) and get a big frame and put a whole bunch of pictures of us from the wedding. There are so many good ones of my sister and her son, my mom and me at the salon, AND there is even a picture of my Dad laughing with my mom. Seriously, this is the only picture I have seen of my dad actually "for real" smiling in a picture. I think I might make that one a 8x10! I don't think my photographer realized what he accomplished!!
