Dedicated

Last weekend, Scott (the bro) and Michelle's firstborn was dedicated to the Lord. It was a sweet time for family and friends to get together to celebrate the next generation in the Schuchard Clan, sweet Ellie. She has grown and changed so much in the past 2ish months! It is amazing. Here are a few pics

Doesn't Ellie look regal?

Last weekend, the hubs and I ventured down to our old stomping grounds for Dan and Elizabeth's nuptials. It was a good time had by all, and I don't think I've seen many couples so happy to get married as they were. Here are a few pics of the weekend...

Yours truly with Mr. and Mrs. DTI

Emily O'Dell captured the evening as the official photog, here's a picture to prove she was really there!

Another highlight of the trip was hanging out with our dear friends Emily and Eric Remington. The problem is... we always have so much fun that we forget to take pictures. While shopping at the Old House Depot for cool old stuff, Emily and I met Johnny Bertram. She being significantly cooler than I already had both of his albums, but I went ahead and purchased the LP. I've been enjoying the folksy Idaho-meets-Mississippi sounds all week!

Fancy architectural piece I want from Old House Depot- maybe it'll still be there next go 'round?

Happy Hearts

For Valentine's Day, Ty and I had a few friends over for some delicious treats! I enjoy cooking, but I love making sweets more than anything else. Take a look at the spread...

A secret first glance at our dining room!

Chocolate covered strawberries.... Yum!

In other news, we went to a class at the gym called "Extreme Fitness" and boy was it extreme. Super huge, former Marine, Anthony created the perfect potion for a challenge that makes you want to cry. Neither of us could move in any direction without aching for two days. Now we're ready for round two next Saturday!
