It Has Been a Year Already

Richard and I celebrated our one year anniversary on Sunday, March 14. We spent that weekend in Billings celebrating. We left Friday after I got done with my morning classes, spent the night on Friday, and came home Saturday night. On Friday when we got to Billings we went to a couple of stores and bought some items for our house we have been wanting. Around four we checked into our hotel and hung out there until around seven thirty when we went to dinner. We went to the new Jake's Bar and Grill over by Costco. It wasn't the best meal ever and it was kind of pricey. Richard ordered a baseball cut stake and I ordered ribs. Mine turned out good, but Richard pretty much got a rare stake, but wouldn't send it back. He just ate the outside of it, but still had some trouble getting a few pieces down. On Saturday we went to breakfast at Crackle Barrel because they have really good french toast. After breakfast we went to a couple more stores and then went home. We enjoyed spending time together and doing something a little different.

I just want Richard to know that our first year together was more than I could have hoped for. I'm grateful he chose me to spend forever with and I'm looking forward to growing and learning together. He is a wonderful man and I love him very much.

Catching up

I have just been going to school and Richard has been working. Last week was midterms and I only had one midterm to take. It was in business law and I was pretty nervous to take it. It turns out I got one hundred percent on it. The grades for midterm were posted today and as of right now I have straight A's in all of my classes. It's a relief to know that I'm doing well and that half of the semester is over. Richard's dad has been getting a lot of work lately, so Richard is busy now and will continue to stay busy.

Lately we have been spending a lot of time cleaning up the yard and making plans to build a fence, plant grass, and just make the yard look nice. A couple weeks ago we cut down two pine trees in the back yard. Nash Rasmussen has a man lift, so he came over and helped Richard. We were able to get most of the mess cleaned up that same day. We carried the branches off to a burn pile and Ben Schneider came and took the rest for fire wood. We are grateful for the help because it made a big job much easier and faster. There were a ton of electrical wires all around the trees we cut done. This made the job a little trickier, but they only hit them a couple of times and no harm was done.
