My site is snellsgreat.scentsy.us Check me out!

long time no see

Well it has been a looooong time since I last posted. Lots of changes in the last year. We have moved back into Lewiston, ID and rented out our house in Juliaetta. It is so different being on the other side of renting. So far it has been working out well.

Tim just had his 31st birthday. We celebrated in Spokane. I surprised him with an hour long massage. Then we had some dinner and cake with his parents. Yummy yum Costco cake.

While we were up there we bought some sod for our rentals "backyard". Basically it's a potty patch. But the puppies are loving the grass. Moxie came out while we were laying it and just rolled around and around and around. So much better than the dirt and pavers that were in that spot.

Our first anniversary

It's hard to believe it's already been a whole year of being Mr and Mrs. It will be exciting to see what changes and experiences we have instore this next year after the ups and downs we have experienced this year figuring out how this marriage thing really works :0)

I wonder why I got so lucky to have such an amazingly loving and supportive husband?

We had a low key celebration since Tim had to work, and it was Sunday. We decided to bbq and I made some strawberry cupcakes for dessert since our cake topper was still in my parents freezer in Boise.
My anniversary flowers that I got a day early. I love the hydrangea in the center :o)

We had a huge windstorm the night before that caused a big branch from one of our pine trees to come crashing down in Butters half of the yard. He tried to help out by knawing off some of the branches ha ha

And of course my terrible luck with jury duty caught up with me. I'm hoping question 17 gets me out of it *fingers crossed*

I also wanted to thank our family and friends for all of your support of our marriage and our wedding. It means alot to know that we are so supported and loved. Miss you all!

Catching up again

Welcome to Spring at our house. I made a wreath the other day to brighten up our home. Funny how you can see it all the way from the highway {ha ha} maybe it's a little too springy! School is out now so I am enjoying having some more free time to play with the dogs, bake treats, and try to clean up the yard.


We were able to spend Mother's day weekend in Spokane with family. The weather was wonderful and the puppies had fun running and playing in an actual fenced backyard. Tim took me to see his high school and the home/neighborhood where he grew up as a teenager. It was really neat to see that part of his life after hearing all the stories.

I recieved a new calling in our branch today. Sunbeam teacher, I am pretty excited about it actually. The kiddos are VERY energetic and eager to share their feelings on worms and Spiderman. My job will be to try and keep them busy and entertained and maybe even learn something :0)

Miss Moxie is getting big now that she is ten months old. The vet is pretty certain she is as big as she will get. She doesn't know she is a dog and enjoys jumping up to give hugs and is ready to snuggle up and take a nap anytime. Butters is learning to listen when he is off his leash and earning more freedom outside while I work in the flowerbeds. He is still as spazzy as ever but tries really hard to be as cuddly as Moxie.

The hubs is enjoying his job very much. He is staying very busy and enjoying new training opportunities. This summer will be busy with my Family reunion in a few weeks and both of us picking up any extra work shifts we can.

Hope all is well with our family and friends!

happiest season of all.

I hope this holiday season has been one of joy and happiness for all of our friends and family. Our new little family enjoyed spending time this month with both of our families, friends who we don't get to see often enough and being grateful for the many blessings we enjoy.

Too many families are out of work, in bad health and struggling to make it through each day. We are extremely blessed to have a warm home, two full-time jobs, and most important of all...............each other.

Happy 32nd Anniversary

Just a quick post to congratulate my parents on their anniversary. They are such an amazing example of love and marriage and I would not have been able to find such an amazing husband if it had not been for their example. Love you both!!!

Glenn and Mandy's Wedding

Our good friends got married in Spokane a few weeks ago. Tim had the honor of being Mandy's maid of honor since he is the one that introduced the two of them when they all were working at Sears. Their wedding was uniquely them with the guys all in black converse and Mandy in white converse with Mrs. Bakken embroidered on them. The reception was Paris themed and their colors were black, white and red. A very fun day even with the sporadic rain. I took a few photos of them before the ceremony and had a lot of fun editing them. Here are a few

Mandy and I

My handsome husband

The sun broke through and cast such a lovely glow on them...magical

The bridesmaids and groomsman :0)

I love how the buttons on her dress matched up so well with the rhinestones on her bouquet

Too sweet!
