GETTING OLDER

DALLIN's BIRTHDAY!!
#22

On Dallin's birthday I made him breakfast in bed and gave him his presents! It was hard to shop because we don't have much time and then usually we are always together!
Then we had a barbecue... before we headed to work!
He was Lucky and got to work all day until about ten thirty and then I was able to semi surprise him with a party. We had pizza and cake and I had some help from the wives that don't sell! We video taped the party but only got one picture! He is the best looking guy and a great husband!

Maryland Crab

So upon arrival, we find out that crab is a big deal around here... What they do is pile a big mound of seasoned crab on the table and they teach you how to open them up "the Maryland way." It was pretty good but when it got down to the last few crabs the seasoning started to get to us. And believe itor not, Amy tried her first crab, but didnt like it too much...

FIRST TRIP TO DC

We made it to Maryland in three days! We’re living in a town called Laurel and our apartments are brand new and very nice! In fact it is twice the size of our place we were renting. There is not to much to do in our town but we are close to Baltimore and D.C. So that makes it better. We had one day of rest and started working our first Monday in Maryland. Memorial weekend we made a trip to D.C. It was crazy packed but we got to see the Washington Monument, Abraham Lincoln Monument, and the White House. One of our good friends Jared came with us so he is the extra person you keep seeing!

Livin' It Up In Baltimore...

So the last few months we have been preparing for this Baltimore adventure and we are finally here! We are working for a great company selling security systems and taking advantage of every opportunity we have off to see the sites on the east coast. We packed up our little house, put everything in storage, packed up the little blue car, and started the 3 day trek across the country! It is a different world out here but we like it a lot. Everything is super old and there is so much green everywhere you go.

On the way out here we made some necessary pit stops...
The big one was in St. Louis, where I have always wanted to visit to see the big arch and Cardinals Stadium. The arch is right on the side of the Mississippi river and is pretty dern huge. We got there right when they closed it so we couldn't take the ride up through it but here are some nice self portraits...

We bummed some tickets outside of the stadium and since there were a bunch of open seats we went to the home run zone... However, some dark thunder clouds came rolling over in the second inning causing the game to be cancelled due to insane rain! But we got the pics and had a Cardinal dog and that was good enough for us. We ran to our car and got back on the road making it through Ohio over night in the rain.
