Brandi, Baby, Bundt, and other stuff.


Saw Brandi Carlile at the Red Rocks Amphitheater.


I babysat a random baby (well, kind of random) for 9 hours yesterday. I haven't done that since high school. It's good to know it's like riding a bike.

She slept most of the time.

Sour cream coffee cake for my co-workers' birthdays. My first time trying this recipe and I will definitely be making it again. It was good.

Denver Temple- Paul was kind enough to indulge me in some photographs.
My current obsession:
Paul and I are headed to Port Angeles this next week and we're excited to spend some quality time with Dan and Judy. Hope the summer is going great for everyone!

I'm not trying to brag...


...But I totally played softball on a legit team the other day.


Paul is on a team on base. They did not have enough players and were about to forfeit when I suddenly heard myself say... "I can play!" What the heck? Why did I say that? I do not attempt athletics in public, especially with a bunch of Air Force dudes. Two other team wives joined us so we had a full team.

My stats: 1 strike out, and o catches with only 1 attempt. :)

Girl's Weekend

Diane and Bekah came to Cheyenne for a fabulous weekend of crafting and cooking:)

The day they arrived at the Denver Airport, we spent the day in Boulder, my favorite hippie town.


At home, we made wreaths and coasters, thanks to the expert skill of my crafting friends:

We did the "Boots of Cheyenne" tour:

I LOVE my girlfriends!!

Highlights were the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake, Bekah's ability to diagnose mysterious skin rashes, Diane on skype with her family, the hail and fog, the Sunbeam that thought the temple was sick, and all the fun laughing.

Let's do it again soon... Charlottesville 2012!! Lol.

Mr. Governor


We met the governor of Wyoming! What a treat!


Tonight we went to the Armed Forces Day banquet, and he was the speaker. My main goal the whole evening was to get a picture with Governor Mead. I mean, when the heck is a governor going to be more accessible than the one in Wyoming? Never.

What a fun evening. Every time I go to a military event, my appreciation grows for those that serve and their families (especially those that get deployed). I love the events and banquets because they do such a good job at honoring Veterans, those serving, and especially those that have lost their lives and their loved ones. God bless America and its freedom!

A couple months ago:

Back in February (I'm a little behind I guess), was the annual awards banquet and SHOUT OUT to my husband. Paul was nominated for Company Grade Officer of the year. He went up against 4 others and didn't win (although he should have jk all the nominees were great). I am very very proud of him and how hard he works at his job. Here are a couple pictures where Paul has his nominee medal on.

Happy Armed Forces Day, everyone:)

Marriage to Paul

A couple non-facebook-ers have requested to see some wedding pictures- and I am excited to post because I can't get enough of them! I wonder if all brides are this self-centered when it comes to their wedding:) We got married in the Nashville, TN temple. We had a ring ceremony at Owen Chapel in Brentwood, and a reception at the Puffy Muffin where I used to work during the summers.

The Happy Couple:

And last but not least, the winner of most awkward-but-best-ever photo:


The end! Thank you for sharing our special day with me!
