Olympic Trials

So it turns out that Omaha is a happening place. Not only does it host the College World Series, but for the past 10 days the swimming Olympic Trials have been here. The trials were held in the Qwest Center, which is a huge event center. And don't worry, there is a portable olympic sized pool! It is huge! Jayson and I went last Saturday and it was really fun because we got to see a lot of Finals races. We even got to see Michael Phelps win the 100m butterfly. Now we are even more excited for the Beijing Olympics to start on August 8th!

4th of July!

We are so grateful to live in the United States of America! We love our country, liberties, and freedoms. Thank you to all who are serving our country at this time, helping to keep us safe.

We had such a great time on the 4th this year. We were especially happy that Jayson didn't have school! We went with some friends to lake Manawa in Iowa. It was really beautiful and luckily the weather wasn't too humid and the mosquitoes didn't find us.

When we pulled into Boy Scout Island (great name, huh) where we were picnicing we found this HUGE tree that had fallen over in the wind storm last week!

American Flag cake

I really wanted to make this American Flag cake and Jayson actually got into it as much as I did. He ended up putting all the fruit on top. I guess I have the Food Network to thank...

3 Years Ago...

Jayson and I have officially been married for 3 years! What a long time! I am so grateful that I married him, he is the best husband and I can't wait for him to be a father. To celebrate this joyous occasion he woke me up before he went to school (6:30 am) with breakfast in bed! After school, we went to P.F. Changs for dinner and then walked around the riverfront. Who knew Omaha was so pretty? As for gifts, we went shopping a few weeks ago and bought new clothes that we agreed were our gifts to one another. When Jayson woke me up with breakfast in bed he was wearing his! He didn't even give me a chance to wrap it... oh well.



P.F. Changs has the best dessert...The Great Wall of Chocolate! And it now comes in more manageable sizes.
