Thanks Mary!

Mary Ida gave me this crazy idea to try DietBet, a online game where you bet an amount of money that you will lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks.

Shawn and I both entered. We both won!

 Thanks for the tip, Mary! Shawn and I are always looking for boosts of motivation to get us in wedding shape!

Planning a wedding...

I'm basically trying to avoid THIS. I apologize for the swearwords, I do not approve. But you get the gist of it, right? -also I would like to avoid being subtitled as the absolute worst.

I'm waiting for my "Best blog, ever" award

I know, I know. I'm really really bad at blogging in the last few months. I've been drowning in schoolwork. To top that off, Shawn and I got engaged a few weeks ago. Exciting, yes! A little daunting to plan? You got it. I'm pretty disheartened when it comes to politics. Maybe you are too. Quite honestly, I wasn't a fan of either option. You know why? I found this man. It's so rare that you find someone who just speaks common sense these days in politics, and Dr. Ron Paul does. This is a very long video, and I'm super impressed if you can watch over 8 minutes (that's about how long I had time for) but seriously, give it 5 minutes and try to tell me he wouldn't have been the guy you want running a country as precious as ours.

Before & After

Look familiar? As the summer gravel season is coming to a close, I got a good dose of nostalgia with this sight.

Happy birthday to me!

only a dental student would get teeth shaped soap for her birthday. But you also need a sister that only thinks of you when she sees teeth. Thanks, sis!

It's called the WEFest effect

My head's not quite all there yet as you can see

Too bad it's not June 26th...

This Monday's really lining up for Daisy

Photo search!

Can you find the one thing in this picture that just doesn't fit?

Race to Wendell

Playing chicken with the train. Think I can beat him to town?

Let's practice counting!

How many way-too-excited-to-be-on-a-day-long-ride-in-a-bumpy-dusty-semi dogs do you see? I see two!

Lily's gap-toothed smile

I'm behind on posting my gravel pit pictures but can you just count this as my Monday's post? It's my favorite of about 137 pictures that Lily took with my phone. I just love her missing tooth!

Shiney and new

This is a gravel operation's version of new tires for a dozer

Early morning at the pit

Caleb running the loader.

Watch this. Now.

I can't wait to read the book!

In the passenger seat

Belle is excited to get in the truck every single day. Can't say I'm the same. But she sure is cute!

Well hello Wile E. Coyote!

I forgot to submit a pic this week but here ya go. Coyote in the ditch. Don't see that everyday!

Pre-trip!

This is me, airing up one of Miss Daisy's 22 tires. My eyes are closed because I just blew a burst of air and tire dust in my own face. What a way to start a Monday...

Oh Beautiful!

For amber waves of grain.
