Our Story...

Mr. & Mrs. Buck est. 4 October 2014
This is our story.... 


Our story begins near a lake. Our families competitively water skied together - so naturally we were put together to play. 



We conquered many a foe together while taking shelter in the infamous Simba Tent. We also saved lives in my barbie jeep {not pictured because it was short lived}. Andy & his brother, Billy, destroyed it. 


Note Dylan, my brother, sporting those classy shorts. 


As we grew older we attended more sophisticated affairs...

Prom 2008



Then there are these... 



As expected, we are once again near a lake. 



We went our separate ways during the early college years {and learned many life lessons}. 
I moved to UAB in order to attend OT school. One year later Andy moved to UAB to pursue his dental school dream. 
Alas, we were reunited once more. 



Dating Andy was a blast. 
We had the best times and some of the more frightening times I had yet experienced. 


He learned to ride horses with me...


And I learned to ride bikes with him. 
And was completely terrified the entire time. 



February 2014 Andy asked me to be his wife. We were on a bridge in the snow. It was a wonderful time. That night and that picture is only in our minds, we have no pictures of the event but we will never forget it. 

We had some engagement shots...


{there's the lake again}


And this happened... 
Yes, we were shocked we actually got up. 


It was extremely cold and our poor bodies did get submerged in the water before it was over. 
Of course there were some interesting shots of the drop. 


OH, did I mention we drove to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to get a puppy? 



We shall call her Raja Rose. 
And I have to give a shout out to Macie {my cousin, best friend, and room mate at the time} for having to live with Raja and me in the beginning. It was a rough few months and she graciously lived with the accidents, crate training cries, and midnight potty breaks. Thanks, Mae. 



Oh, and of course she had to be acclimated to the lake. 





October 4, 2014 FINALLY arrived! 




And we said yes!


We honeymooned in St. Lucia and went diving. 
Exploring the ocean with Andy was an adventure I will always remember. 


We speared lion fish and had the cook at the resort prepare it for dinner, pretty cool. I didn't realize my finger was on the camera lens... so most of our pictures are a light tan blob. 



So this is us! 
We love the outdoors, we're almost always up to learning something new, and we obviously love the lake. 

Raja grew up to be a pretty cool pup. 


She decided to like the water {Andy was pumped}. 


That's Dylan and Ace on the left, we hang out with them some. 



And last but NOT least...
We are moving to Arizona. 
We are not near a lake. 

We are excited about our new adventures out west. 


Thanks for reading!

Let The Summer Begin (almost)

We decided we needed to get out of the valley for a few days {with summer quickly approaching and tempts reaching the 90's}, so we packed up and went to Payson for the weekend. I highly recommend going to see the Natural Bridge, pictures do not do it justice.  And I'm pretty dang impressed with Andy for hiking all day with this baby pack. It is seriously not as easy as it looks. I've got to start training...  Raja clearly had the time of her life. {per usual} We are so excited that little man is big enough to ride in the baby pack! And I'm excited Andy is able to haul the baby pack.  Raja is just excited about dirt and water {mud}.  Happy Monday, everyone. Thanks for reading :) 

Arizona Lessons in 3 Years

As of August, we have been official Arizonians for 3 years! Seems kind of crazy that it's been that long. We have all learned a lot about the west. So, in celebration of our 3 year Arizonniversary here are a few things Arizona has taught us... about survival.  1. Get up early. From about May-September if we want to run, hike, ride the horses, swim at the pool, really anything outdoors we are up the the flipping crack of dawn because any other time of the day is miserable. When it isn't the heat of the summer, the evenings are pretty decent. And when people say, "oh it's a dry heat out there though, so that's probably not so bad", I literally laugh out loud. Before we moved here people had told us the dry heat isn't so bad {you know who you are}. So we stupidly went out to the barn to clean stalls in 120 degrees. I thought the hot breeze was going to melt my eye balls. And then we were both sick with chills the rest of the day. Now, under 105 degrees,...

A desert summer.

We moved into a new house this week!!! My family came out to help us move and of course we had to make some time for play.  We made the tough treck to Fossil Creek!  It was worth it.   I jumped off the little one. It was scary. I don't think I'll do it again.  On the last day we went to Apache Lake.  I forgot my camera so we don't have many documents of this trip, but it was very relaxing.  We are so thankful for their help. And for play time. And for our new house!!
