Lindsey and Nick's Couples Shower

Joe and I hosted a couples wedding shower for Lindsey and Nick at our house last weekend. We planned for an elegant backyard cookout with rented tables, chairs, tablecloths, etc. I was so excited to carry out this "vision" that I had....and then it RAINED!! We made the best of it inside.

Professor McSnuggles

This is what happens when I get out of the bed in the mornings. Joe lets Hank get up and they snuggle. Hank is mean when he needs to be but he loves to get LOVE!

Yard Day!!

Joe and I worked in the yard ALL DAY and spent way too much money on plants...it's easy to do. We went to Lowe's, Home Dept, and Dan West. The weather was beautiful and it is always fun picking out pretty plants!

Shower Time!!

Here I am trying to build a beautiful wedding dress out of toilet paper.

Riding Elephants in Phuket

Here is our cute elephant getting a bath before our ride. She was hot!

Riding an elephant was something we were both really excited about. It was scary and fun being on top of her. She went up and down hills through the jungle and we even crossed a busy highway at one point.

At the end of the ride, you could pay $1 and buy some bananas to feed her. Heck yes!

Koh Phi Phi

This is a cute little restaurant that we ate in one night. I had the yummy cashew nut chicken.

Joe and Xander walking the streets of the island.

Overloook Hike...

Joe and I took an early morning hike up the tsunami evacuation route to get a good view of the island. The hike was up like 500 stairs...it was tough!

Look!! A real coconut!!
