1 Week down how many to go?!!

The first week of the second semester is done and it looks like this semester is going to be a bit more relaxed than last semester for both Casey and I (sigh). To celebrate Friday I thought I would post some house pictures, especially of our basement that Casey is currently working on (and here I sit...). We look forward to being done with more major construction really soon! The basement actually hasn't been terrible compared to the rest of the house! Yikes! Oh, I also found this really cute background! If you are looking to update your background to something else I would recommend at least checking out the dots webpage (just click the button on upper left) the site has some pretty cute backgrounds! Okay, enough of my rambling.....

Okay, kind of a weird pic. to start out with, but this is the backside of our house. If my computer didn't have the speed of a turtle I would post before and after pictures of the house, however, I need sleep sometime tonight! So here is the finished product back here (however we have added some things like a fence and an roof over the far door).

And this is the front of our house! We actually have a small tree in the corner of the yard, it is a great wind blocker for our wyoming wind (wind, in laramie?!).
So after starting this blog and looking through our house pictures, I haven't taken any of the house since we've moved in so it looks really empty, so I am going to stop right here until I can get some that actually appear as though we live there. But, for those of you who do sort of recognize our house, the white door directly in front now contains this beauty:

Some Pictures










Here are pictures from some of our vacations. We are very lucky because we have been able to do so much and travel to a lot of places! These first couple are of our trip two summers ago to Southern Colorado and Through Arizona.



This picture is of the San Antonio temple. It is beautiful on the outside and even more so on the inside! I highly recommend visiting this temple if you are ever in the area!






We were also able to visit the Alamo and river walk in San Antonio too (I also highly recommend putting this on your list of things to do! Very beautiful! Especially at Christmas time)


They have a huge Christmas tree they put up by the Alamo that is amazing! They also decorate all of the trees that hang over the river walk, it's beautiful!

These pictures are only a couple of MANY that we have taken! I will post some more later, I will also get some pictures posted of our house so you guys can see the amazing progress!

The First One!

Hello everyone and welcome to the first Frome blog that will actually talk about our family! Casey created one..somewhere, but instead of pictures of us or talking about us it involves pictures of derby cars and all that. Since I have no idea where or how to get into our other one I decided to do my own family blog.

Casey and I just got off of a very amazing Christmas break. We had a full month of traveling, we went to Texas to see Casey's sister Candice and her husband KC! That was a lot of fun, I got to play with five little french bulldog puppies, they are very cute. We also went to the Nutcracker in Austin, it was fabulous! From Texas we flew to California and met my parents at the happiest place in the world, Disneyland! Christmas in Disneyland, how much better can it get? From California we flew back to Denver. We then went To Star Valley and went snowmobiling for a couple of days and spent a night at the Box Y. That was a ton of fun! After that we went back to California to explore Death Valley (this time driving) with Casey's Dad and stepmom. We had so much fun doing this and saw some amazing sites! After returning from Death Valley we made our way back to Laramie to start another fun-filled semester at UW.

Casey is almost done with his degree, he just informed me this morning that he has 30 credits left, which he will knock out in two semesters, so by December that wonderful Husband of mine will be a college grad looking at what fun and exciting things to do with his Business Admin. degree. Grad school isn't looking too bad for him right now, but we'll see.

As for me, I am happy to report that this semester is my final semester of classes and I can't tell you all how very excited I am to be wrapping this very long college career up! I will have a 12 week intern in the summer (not sure where yet), but I will walk in May. By the end of those 12 weeks in summer, I can officially call myself a college graduate!

Other news, upon returning home this week Casey went and knocked a hug hole in our floor and built stairs down to our basement! Wow, did he do that quick, he was able to do that all in one day, as well as do some dry wall.

Well, I have officially updated everyone on all that is new, so I am going to go help Casey now instead of blogging all morning. Hope everyone is doing real swell!
