Camping

If you know me and my blogging this post won't have many words but here are several pics:

Sweet pic of the fire.

The men being men, they chopped wood the whole time. I think all in all we burned half the trees in the forest ;).

A little piece of nature.

Jac and I out exploring, one of my favorite camping activities!

We didn't have a chance for camping all Summer, seeing as we were in another state and my hubby was working his butt off day in and day out. So as soon as he got home about 2 weeks ago we have been camping quite a bit! We LOVE camping and are glad we got to go this year for a little bit.

We spent our days hiking/exploring, playing games, chatting, and just enjoying the great outdoors. We spent our nights roasting mallows for s'mores, playing murder mystery games and trying to keep warm while snoozing.

Can't wait to go again (and no Jared that doesn't mean snow camping, ICK!)!

Best surprise!

My husband is home!! He wasn't going to be home for another 5 days but to my complete and blissful surprise he got home on Sunday! That was one of the best days ever! I was totally shocked and so happy I nearly cried... ok I shed a tear or two but I come on, that was the longest I'd ever gone without seeing him.


We have some vacations planned including LOTS of camping and California/Disneyland. I'm really excited to have some R & R with the best man in the world!


Today he surprised me with a make-up date for our anniversary. He took me to lunch to the same place we went for our first date (Johnny Carino's) and then to a massage. Massages are my most favorite thing and he totally spoiled me! Thanks my dear for being so amazing!

And here is a random pic because pics are great!

Home Sweet Home

Our welcome home BBQ on the Zank side. The Zank boys lovin' on eachother.

Mama and I enjoyin' our Watermelon in the delicious Utah outdoors (delicious because it's evening).

Destiny and David, they have grown so much and become so smart!

I have been home now for just over a week. It's great! However, I had forgot about a few things...
1. Terrible allergies
2. Exhausting heat
3. The oh so dry air!

But am grateful for a few as well...
1. Not wanting/needing GPS just to get around town
2. Able to see friends and family anytime
3. My favorite Utah only restaurants (Kneaders, Village Baker, etc.).

Yesterday was also our 1 year anniversary. My hubby is not here with me for another week and a half, which is no fun! But ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right? But he scored brownie points by having a huge bouquet of beautiful flowers left at the front door and a lovey dovey letter! I can't believe it has been a year and the best of my life. I love my Mr. Zank!

What a hottie!
