New Truck

I finally got my truck! I've wanted a new truck since the second I sold my last one. We've been looking for a few weeks at all different kinds of trucks. I brought home a few for the wife to look at and got a lot of "that's not sitting in my driveway" looks and conversations. Found this one up in Corvallis. It's a Dodge Ram 1500 short bed. I want to fix a couple things on it but I'm happy with it and Ash is uhh...accepting of it.

We took her out for her first adventure last night. Ash got home from her river vacation around 5:30. I had a need to try the truck out off the main road so I thought we could go make a fire and roast some smores. Burklee refused to be left at home so she got to come too. It wasn't until after dark that we realized that we were up in cougar country and a little golden retriever would be a fine dinner. We kept her close and only smelled burning fur a few times. Hopefully this weekend I can try it out again without Ash covering her eyes and begging me not to role down the mountian. Here are some pictures of the truck and the girls.

Labels or Love?

This blog used to just belong to me, Ashlyn. The title of the blog used to be Labels or love? The ultimate choice for most women. Does a girl choose a man that could let her down? Or labels, always available, always faithful. Well I chose both. I got married, and still follow and choose the labels.

Now, this blog will belong to Joe and I. We will both update the blog with adventures from our crazy home updating, travels and daily life. We have family here and there (mostly there) so this will also serve as our "not having to talk on the phone" blog.

We love pictures. I blame it on my poor memory and his lack of attention to detail in the present. A picture really is worth a thousand words so here are a few pictures to save you all the reading.



Joe and I got married September 5th 2009.



We bought a fixer upper home as a big Christmas gift that same year.



Without bathroom wall or door and all.



...yeah.



We have a golden retriever named Burklee.



She is not so little anymore, but just as cute.

We always have a project we are working on or saving up for. Right now it is the hall bathroom.



We hope to tackle it this summer. Well here on out we are up for fate's "grabs." We will keep things updated and we will see you all around.
