The Wedding and Our First Month of Marriage

We've been married a little over a month now...

I've been finishing up my last two classes at school and will graduate in less than two weeks! Since I'll be graduating with a Masters, I tell David he's going to have to start calling me Master. He just laughs at me. He knows he has the upper hand because of the pact he made a few weeks ago with my Dad...

When my Dad was in town, they agreed that they weren't going to call their wives Master, ever, even though my mom and I will both have Masters when I'm done. David and I have only been married about a month and already David's making pacts with my family members! Once, I came home from classes only to find David chatting on the phone with my Mom about "secret things". I never know exactly what I'm going to come home to.

David actually graduated a couple days before we got married... So now....

He's my house-husband.

...I love it.

Most days when I come home from classes David's preparing dinner. I fully expected that while I was taking classes spring term David would find time to catch up on all the Star Craft he missed out on while we were dating. I was wrong. He's taken up a lot of the responsibility around the apartment like cooking dinner, doing laundry, packing me lunch, doing dishes... Actually, it's a little embarrassing how much David does for me so I can just sit around and do homework.

Camping Adventure at Penrose Point State Park

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar Looking for crabs on the water Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M

Our Backyard Chicken Adventure

Back in February I told David we should get chickens! He told me the egg shortage would end soon and that we wouldn't save any money having chickens. He was 100% right (there are a lot of fixed costs with raising chickens like building a coop and run, but afterwards the expenses are not too bad) and the chickens have been a lot of fun. Turns out there was a lot I didn't know about chickens and I greatly enjoyed learning about them! For example, I learned the following: Why are grocery store eggs white? Most eggs we eat come from white leghorn chickens, which lay white eggs, but different chicken breeds lay different colors. Meat Chickens vs. Egg Chickens - Humans have cared for chickens for a long time. Some chickens are bred for their meat (think Cornish cross) and others for their eggs. David and I are not excited about processing chickens, so instead we went for chickens that are egg layers. Egg production vs. Collecting the rainbow of egg colors - We decided we wanted a mi...

Neil's friends visit

Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.
