HaRvEsT tImE!!!

I love this time of year! Although the summer is fading and the cooler weather will soon be upon us, now is the time we reap what we sow. Ryan and I planted a garden before we got married and it went CrAzY! Our squash plants grew out of our garden and about 15 feet towards the road. My neighbor referred to them as the squash plants that ate Manhattan :) Here are a few pictures. I canned 24 pints of peach jam (requested by my Ry), 12 pints if peaches, and 6 pints of apricot jam. I am looking forward to canning some salsa and maybe some tomatoes. Oh and I think our squash cross pollinated because we have a few funky looking squash.




PS if anybody would like squash I have plenty, the catch is you have to come and visit me to get some:)

Freakin' Frusrated!!!

Well I made a slide of my wedding pictures and for some reason when I try and put it on here it comes up as some other girls pictures!! If anyone knows what I am doing wrong please let me know. Here is a link to the slide show. Enjoy!

Well I did it.

I finally got into the nursing program. I start at the DATC on Jan. 4. Hooray!

Marriage and all it entails!

So I have officially been Mrs. Butler for a little over a month. I must say I have absolutely loved every minute of it. I have not been disappointed once! That is probably in part with the fact that I married the most amazing man on earth. Yes that means my husband is better than yours! Here are a few things I love and love not so much about marriage.

Loves
- Waking up next to Ry.
- Going home after work to Ry.
- Cooking dinner, I pretty good I must admit :)
- Walking around our cute neighborhood
- Visiting with our cooky 84 year old neighbor
- Not having to share a laundry room with 5 other people!( Other people that I love!)
- Having Bill ( our blue heeler) around all the time
- Being able to go home and just relax.
- Growing my own garden. Our squash have taken over our entire yard. My neighbor ( not the 84 year old one) says its the squash that ate Manhattan!
- My husband does laundry and I don't even have to ask!
- Knowing that it me and Ry forever! He loves me:)

Love not so Much
- Not having a dish washer
- Baking and not having a bunch of siblings eat it all. Me and Ry end up eating way more than we should.
- I miss sitting on the porch with my parents why they drink their coffee.
- Not having a computer or the Internet at my own home
-Having milk go bad because we don't drink it fast enough


Over all I love my life and I am so unbelievably lucky to have Ryan as a husband. Best decision I ever made! Love you baby!
Pictures of wedding and honeymoon to come.
Stay tuned:)

Well I am getting married in a little less than two weeks and I am more than ready. I have had three bridals showers and I was spoiled rotten! At the shower for my side of the family my sisters made me where a crown and a ribbon, as shown above. I'm having a blast. Sorry I haven't blogged lately. Life is busy. I'm sure this will be my last post for quite a while. So I hope to see you all at my wedding! Chow! :)

Last Call for addresses

Well only a month left until the wedding. I can't wait! I think we have almost everything done. We got all the invitations put together last night and thanks to Ryan's mom we got about 98% of the addresses too, but there are a few more I need. If I haven't asked for your address or if your not sure if I have it email me. daniellemark@mail.weber.edu. Things are moving along fairly smoothly. My first shower is on saturday from 11-1 at my parents house. If anyone wants to come feel free :) I'm getting my bridals taken on wednesday and all I have left to do after that is put a couple CD's together for dancing afterwards. I'm very anxious and excited. A few of the girls I work with keep telling me how awful showers are but I'm excited. I love my family and what better excuse to get together. Can't wait to see everyone, pictures to come!

Still Here

Hey everyone. I'm still here, just trying to finish finals and then I'll do an update. Plannig a wedding is time consuming especially working and going to school full time. Anyway there's lots of life going on around here :)
