A Big Load of Bull

Archery season was a bust for me.  I didn’t even get to draw my bow back one time, which is okay – even if it is a bit disappointing.  I saw very few deer, and only 4 elk total.  Aaron, on the other hand, had a much better season.  He wasn’t able to fill his [...]

AJT-Squared

I say “AJT-Squared” because those are both of our initials.  Aaron Jon and Amy Jeanette.  Today is our anniversary.  It is a celebration of one of the best days of my life.
Love us.  Love him.

I think that’s all that needs to be said about that!
Happy Anniversary, Husband!

July 2009

July has been a crazy busy month for us this year.  It’s almost been busier than last year when we were building our house.  I was really looking forward to just relaxing and not having any set plans.  I’ve had a great month and managed to relax, but I didn’t manage to keep our activities [...]

Our Girls – Surprise, Surprise!

**Special thanks to Westwinds Nursery – they let me use their grounds for these pictures.
Since we have the deadline of our open house next week, I am FINALLY forcing myself to replace the pictures of our girls in the entryway.  Right now, the picture of Emma is from when she was eleven and Harley and Katelyn’s are [...]

Father’s Day

Our Father’s Day was perfect.  If you ask Aaron, he’ll say that the girls and I had to talk him into skipping the yard work for the day to go to the mountains.  We didn’t have to talk very hard – I think we just mentioned and he was on board.  We spent the day [...]

An Eventful Thursday

Aaron had surgery on his eyes Thursday.  He’s been wanting to have LASIK surgery for many many years, and we were finally able to have it done.  Unfortunately, Aaron didn’t have enough corneal tissue to have a second surgery if it were required if he were to have LASIK surgery, so he had a procedure called PRK [...]

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww!

To answer the very first question I think has probably popped into everyone’s mind – yes, that IS a mouse.  A baby mouse, to be exact.  A baby mouse being held in Aaron’s hand.  And, YES, I did have to take a picture of it because the story is just too unbelievable without the photo [...]

Foreboding Skies

I found another treasure on Aaron’s camera.  At some point last Spring, he was applicating chemicals to a potato field when a storm broiled up out of nowhere.  He took pictures of the developing storm, and they are so gorgeous!  Pictures like this make me extremely happy to have a desk job INSIDE where I [...]

The Foot Saga Comes to an End

So finally, after nearly five months of pain and treatment not working, Aaron finally had surgery to correct the problem with his foot.  The doctor went in through the bottom of his foot and removed the piece of bone that lost its blood supply and died.  He had surgery Monday, December 29th, and he will still not [...]

Do you know what the significance of these two pictures is?  I know it looks like a bunch of laundry baskets full of crap.  It’s not.  It is so much more than that.  These two pictures represent [...]
