Time to Feed the Horsies

6:46 PM
Provo River Trail is perfect for Sunday walks. The long, meandering roads are perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Somehow we found out if we walk long  enough that there are horses patiently waiting for the occasional nibble. Carrots are their favorite. In the winter the horses are left outside, with thorns tangled in their wild manes. We can't brush them, but we can...

Our First Christmas

6:27 PM
People always imagine their first Christmas together as a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting. We didn't have a perfectly lit Christmas tree in our apartment (no room), and we didn't have hand- stitched stockings hanging by a fireplace.

Well, now I actually do. I have...

I still had 30 more minutes of work left and I had no idea what situation Calvin was in. The last time Calvin got into a bike crash he looked like an extra from a zombie apocalypse...

12 weeks

9:47 AM
"One the twelfth week of marriage my true love gave to me.... " A beautiful bouquet of flowers and my favorite chocolates. The funny thing is Calvin didn't even realize we had been married for 12 weeks. He wanted to surprise me with flowers and chocolates, "just because." I can't even imagine how he carefully balanced flowers and chocolates while riding his bike...
