Gone Fishin'


Last Saturday afternoon we took a much needed break from work and everything else and went fishing. We went with Robert's dad, Uncle Larry, Larry's granddaughter Paige, and his brother-in-law Lorenzo. Bill took his boat and we went to Shaw lake. It was a beautiful drive and we were very excited to do some fishing. Well...the fishing wasn't exactly what we had hoped for. We were there for nearly four hours and between all six of us only caught THREE fish. Lorenzo caught two and Robert caught one. Good thing there was good company and good weather. Robert even took a 30 minute nap at one point (In his defense he had been chopping wood and was exhausted). Even though the fishing wasn't great we had fun with the family and spending time in the mountains.

The newest fishing tactic??? I don't know how he expects to catch a fish like THIS!

Robert finally catches one!

House pictures...finally

We are finally settled in for the most part (after 6 weeks!) and I decided that it was time to post pictures of our new home. The walls hardly have any pictures or decorations but I guess that will just have to wait until we have time.

Living Room

Dinning Room-We have a table but no chairs! We lost them in one of the three moves we made. We are currently looking for a new one. For now, we just eat at the counter and sit on bar stools.

Rob's awesome Laundry Room-This was the only color he HAD to have in the whole house, a yellow laundry room. I think it turned out great.

Kitchen

Master Bedroom 2nd view-This is my sanctuary and favorite room in the whole house.


We repainted the whole house ourselves with some help from Rusty, Rob's boss. I thinks the colors really turned out well. I am sure lucky to have a husband who builds houses for a living. He did a lot of work on the house before we moved in. After four years of college housing this is heaven to us...

Monday night our fabulous RH Construction softball team battled it out to become the 2009 Co-Ed Minor Leauge Champs. The team had to play four grueling back-to-back games beginning at 6:30pm and ending around 10:45pm (waaaay past my bedtime). Needless to say, everyone was exhaused by the Championship game. It was well worth it though. It was awesome to see how well the team played together and stayed focused. We had a great season and were proud to end on such a high note. It is such a pleasure to play with the members of our team. We have so much fun as a team and also as husband and wife. For our efforts we got a certifcate and hoodies. I am sad to see the season end but am also glad to have our evenings back. Great job everyone! Until next season!

Nope, Not Dead...

Contrary to the notion that Robert and I have fallen off the face of the earth, we are in fact still alive and well. We just have not had internet for the past two months and I have not had time to update our blog. We have the internet finally up and running and so I will be a little better about updating from now on.
