We decided to be tourist

As most of you know, Andy and I have the summer off so we decided to spend some time exploring what Arizona has to offer. I've never been to the Grand Canyon so it was #1 on our list. AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE. It's WAY too hot to backpack into the canyon now but we decided we have to give it a shot this fall.

Just an Elk licking water off the road. I regret not attempting to touch him.

Our minds could not even comprehend. The colors and depths of the canyon was disorienting and wonderful and in an odd, awesome way terrifying.

We went to Horseshoe Bend in Page, Az. We had to go at sunrise to beat the heat but it was worth every minute of lost sleep.

That's my husband. He's cool.

If you look REALLY closely you can see tiny people camping on the beach area. We were jealous.

Lastly, we explored Lake Powell. We also realized unless you have a boat there's not much you can really do there {except for a small beach area the whole lake was surrounded by cliffs}. But Raja had a blast, nonetheless; and covered my car with sand. And it's just beautiful.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands"- Psalm 19:1

If places on this earth are this incredible can we even imagine the site of heaven?

I'm Feeling 22 : it's finally ALL about Dylan

Dylan Wade Calhoun D.O.B. 7 February 1994 Dylan is my best friend. He has been since I can remember. Of course we fought and still fight when he sleeps until 3pm and eats my snacks from time to time. But I can always count on Dylan to be there for me. Because he's that kind of friend. I've learned over the years many people are blessed with siblings but very few are given a friend- one who has been there through it all, one who has seen every great and every embarrassing stage of life AND loves you anyway. "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity". Proverbs 17:17 So in honor of Dylan being alive for 22 years, here are 22 things about Dylan you may not know And all reasons we love him. 1. Dylan is committed. When Dylan decides he is going to do something, he does it. He worked, and continues to work, his tail off {harder than anyone else} to play college baseball-because he is committed. He has completed intense workouts {...

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 Baby Shower, Easter and Family

Hello everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful Easter weekend. Our Easter was pretty busy but it was so special in so many ways. First of all my sweet Arizona mother, Catherine (who has taken me in as her own), hosted a baby shower for Baby Buck. He was shown great love from friends we've made out here in the desert. I cannot wait for him to meet all the loving people awaiting his arrival (only 15 more weeks to wait, by the way!). On that note he has some pretty amazing family that are anxiously awaiting to meet him, as well- my mother, Andy's mother, my grandparents (Mammy and Grandaddy) and my cousin all made the long journey out for the shower and for Easter. We are so thankful they were able to come! We all had so much fun at the shower! The nursery theme is woodland creatures. Catherine and Gary We played some pretty entertaining games, which I will spare you the pictures from. Also, we al...
