Huggle

My three year old niece Miriam has always said huggle in place of snuggle and it is so dang cute we haven't ever corrected her. So the other night I fell asleep with my lamp on and woke up to turn it off only to have this image in my face. Ory is the greatest huggling dog ever. When Ben was in the Army he would have to go to the field on many occasions for days at a time. This left me home alone at night. So to help me feel safe I let Ory sleep with me and taught her how to huggle up. So now she sneaks her way in between Ben and I at night and this is what we get.

Hike to the top of Table Rock

Ben, and I decided to take Ory and go hiking on one of his days off. It was going to be a sunny day outside and was too beautiful to waste sitting inside. Ben had wanted to go on this hike for a little while and the timing was perfect. It wasn't too big of a hike. It was four miles to the top so eight mile round trip and we climbed just over 1000 feet in elevation. The view from the top was pretty amazing. There were a few sketchy areas, but overall it was a very nice trail.

We will hike to the top of this cliff you can see here. Ory has on her back pack! Everyone carries their own lunch in our family :)

At the top! It was quite a steep hike but it was beautiful. If you want to see a crazy hike, then you should check out my friends Kenna and Jason's blog. They recently hike to the top of the German Alps. Their blog is linked on mine, Awesomeblog 5000 I believe it is called. Crazy stuff!

One more step and I literally would walk right off the cliff. I was making Ben just a little nervous here.

Ory had so much fun! They say that for every mile we hike, dogs hike four. I believe it. Ory would always be running ahead and then come back to check on us only to take off again. She had so much fun. She really loves the outdoors.

Wedding Season

This summer has been filled with weddings! I have really enjoyed it. I love being there to see couples start their lives together. It reminds me how it was only 4 1/2 years ago that Ben and I started our marriage and I have loved every moment do far. He is so sweet and the best husband I could ask for. I just wanted to give him a little thanks for all that he is and does and how much he loves me.
Thank you!

Quick Update

Hey! I know that it has been a while and even though I have nothing too interesting to write about, I thought the few that check in every once and a while might like an update.
Ben and I moved into our new place. We are happy to have our stuff accessible. Ben is working and registered for the fall at OSU. I am waiting to hear back about a part time job at Macy's and then I will register for school as well.
More to come!
