Suit Deals


The other night Ben happened to be in Goodwill and thought he would take a look around and see if they had anything good and they sure did. Ben found two brand new suits that have never been hemmed or worn that fit him perfectly. The blue pin strip is a Ralph Lauren priced at $395.00 and the other one is a Chapps priced at $450.00. Ben got them both for $18.00!!
I love getting GREAT deals and Ben is happy that he has some more new suits.

Pre-School

That's right folks, Joseph started his first day of Pre-School yesterday. He was so excited to go, which was GREAT for him and so hard for me. He was already to go 45min before we had to leave the house, keeping him busy before we left was a bit of a challenge to say the least.

After school was done it was so much fun hearing him tell me all about his day. I hope this enthusiasm for school continues.

CRASH!!

On our drive up to Idaho a week ago, early in the morning we hit a deer just outside of Jackson,WY. Ben was able to push the hood down enough that we could make it to his parents house. We are so lucky that none of us were hurt only scared to death.

Hanging Lake, Hotels and Hot Springs

About a month ago Ben and I had the opportunity to get away for our anniversary and spend a few days in Glenwood Springs. We had such a fun time riding the gondola, going through the Fairy Caves, Ben riding the Alpine Coaster, the human maze, swimming in the hot springs and hiking up to hanging lake.

These two waterfalls are coming out of the rocks behind Hanging Lake.

We made it!! It's an intense hike, but absolutely beautiful.

If you look closely at the left side on the top you can see a fairy in the wall.
