wild west part 2

one of my favorite parts of visiting idaho is the horses. in particular there are some horses that are kept nearby and we make it a point to visit (almost daily) to bring them apples or carrots. they're huge, majestic animals (i'm not sure what kind of horses these ones are, but they are particularly large!). one of them makes a funny flopping noise with his lips which we can never stop laughing about (we're an easily entertained bunch). i just think these creatures are so beautiful....

wild west

i feel like i've been gone forever! we recently returned from 7 lovely days in idaho with our families- that's right, both of our families! and you know what? it was wonderful. we are super lucky to both have such amazing families who not only love and nurture us but genuinely like each other and get along.  whenever i mention to people that we're going to idaho, they say enjoy the midwest. idaho is actually in the west. and it can feel like the wild west. sleepy little towns miles from nowhere... gorgeous mountains and clean rivers... fresh air! such a nice and welcome change. here are a few pics from our trip. thank you again to my in-laws who were the most gracious hosts ever!!

2 years... and a surprise

yesterday we celebrated our 2 year anniversary! it was a gorgeous day spent with friends walking around and enjoying our city followed by a yummy dinner at one of our favorite spots. i'm not sure how it's possible, but every day i love this man more and more..

this is going to be a particularly exciting year for us.. and in fact, this will be our last anniversary as a family of 2!! .........we are expecting our first child- due on valentines day!!!  we are beyond thrilled and cannot wait to meet the wee one! it's hard to believe that next year we will be a family of 3!! ♥ ♥ ♥
