I have been very remiss at updating our blog posts! But thanks to Candace & her sweet, gentle, reminders always gets me to post (as quickly as possible). Let's see...what is up with us? Well on the 3rd of September I turned the ripe odd age of 27. I say odd because it's a really odd number (both verbally & mathmatically) I'm fine with turning older, but 27 is different, it's late 20's....& I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm now in my late 20's.....odd, very odd.
Ryan made sure I spent my birthday weekend in style. Weds. we had a party with our friends
& I stuffed myself so full of food that I didn't even want to have breakfast the next day (Can you say Pecan chicken, dutch oven potatoes, corn on the cob -from the garden, pesto bread, garlic bread, cinnamon rolls, cheese cake & home made ice cream cake)!!! Thursday (my actual birthday) I had lunch with a bunch of ladies from the ward & that evening Ryan made me shrimp fetticunne alfredo & we watched Prison Break (if you aren't addicted to it yet, START NOW!). That evening my parents came up & we spent the weekend eating really good food & enjoying relaxing and having a great time together. I haven't had one on one time with my parents since I was two! So it was really great. I recieved numerous phone calls, e-mails & birthday cards - it was wonderful!!
Ryan's up next (September 26th) & this year it is the big 3-0!!! So watch out for that!
Other than getting older we have both been really busy with work. I'm working as a legal secretary for the defense lawyer in town and I'm learning a boatload!!! It's so exciting to do something new & learn more how our justice system works. I'm full time so my weeks are full & my weekends fly by!! Ryan is loving his job at the Ag Research Center. Currently he's been working on the upcoming land managment retreat this upcoming week. He's been creating their work packets & hand outs . His bosses are loving everything he's doing for them. We are still crossing our fingers that they will decide to hire him permanently!!
With my Dad here last weekend he & Ryan did work out in the yard (I think Ryan loved having the company) We have a new rock pathway & a fire pit - so once the burn ban is lifted we will be out in the back roasting marshmellows!! Ryan is also reffing again this year & just had his first game today, sadly nothing much has changed Burns lost 20-0.

Your yard sounds like fun! And you're right...27 is odd...I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet (I do have 'til December to decide), but you'll have to keep me up -to-date just so I know it's working out well for someone!
Okay, we just learned a lot about you guys. First, we are the same ages as each other. I'm 27 as of May and Lyle is 30 but he's OLD he'll be 31 in January. Second, I didn't know there was such a thing as celebrating in style in BURNS!!! Ha ha! Lyle said to tell you that our invitation must have gotton lost! *wink wink* It sounds like you guys had a great time! I'm so with you on the 27 thing. It's also not mid 20's. Not to make you feel any better. Happy Birthday to you both!! I guess we also missed Ryan's! Hope you guys celebrated in STYLE!!!!
