 The past week I celebrated my 1 month of home ownership! Boy has it been a ride so far! While I've definitely loved it, here's been some downers

1. My AC unit condenser went out leading me to invoke my Home warranty. Note to future home owners... GET A HOME WARRANTY. Seriously even though I've only been in this house for 3 weeks at the time, they sent someone right out and it only cost me 60 for parts and labor. Still sucked going 3 days in over 100 degree weather without A/C.

2. Got a water saving violation citation. APPARENTLY I can only water my lawn on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays BUT I signed up for my water utilities less than 3 weeks ago and no one told me there, NOR did they mention it in their "Welcome to PG" packet.. so I'm a bit mad but my advice to you here would be to check the city website for where you move. Most likely that's where they post about it.

3. I've now realized just how HUGE my yard is. Braden mowed the front and side along the fence (took him about 30-40 minutes) and I tackled the back yard in a ground breaking 45 minutes (Braden took about an hour I think) so ya.. yard is huge. Also realized how many poky weeds there are so have no bought weed killer... Hope that stuff works!

4. I have now also gone to the Home Depot at LEAST once a week.. sometimes more. Can't seem to ever get everything I needed at once.

5. Put a few pointless holes in the walls. And yes I'm referring to the shelf incident.... Coincidentally NOTHING can be hung on the walls in the room. I'm serious I tried to hang curtains (not even heavy ones) and they pulled right out of the wall.. They obviously used some cheap dry wall for that room... It's been a bummer.

6. And I've spent prob a grand (give or take a few hundred) on decor and furniture for my new home. It's been crazy but decorating his been so exciting and fun! The entire house is nautical/ beach/ hints of pirate themed and I love it! Pictures of the inside still to come. :)

Fall Carbon County ATV ride

Fall Carbon County ATV Tour Let me start off this post by saying that not only did this tour far exceed my expectations, but the entire area did. If you hear Carbon County, most people immediately ask "what is there to even do there," "where is that?" Then you mention "Price" which is on all the road signs when you head from SLC to Moab and you get a few nods.  WELL, time to change that.

NYC posts- Brooklyn & Central Park

NYC Day 2: Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, and Central Park Despite the late night Broadway show before, we were up early and determined to hit the rest of the list. So first up was Brooklyn. It took about 40 min to get to the Bagel Store on Bedford Ave between 2 subway lines and less than mile of walking. Rainbow bagel with funfetti smear: perfection.

 The past week we went to California for Ty's family reunion at Shaver Lake. We drove through the night Tuesday and mistakenly our gps took us a crappy route by Highway 6 and through Yosemite... so it was slow going and a tad scary! I saw two deer on the road on our way that Ty totally missed! Woah! I was super sad that we drove through Yosemite and I couldn't see anything so we determined to go on our way home from the trip! So Saturday we woke up superrr early to have time to make some stops! so here we go....  Not 30 min. driving in the park and we see a cub black bear climbing a tree barely off the road! I made Ty turn around to snap a picture because really.. how many times do you get to be so close to one of these cute little guys? If nothing else went well... going back this long way made the trip worth it to me! We started the main loop with Bridal Veil Falls which was much weaker than it normally is... but the water dumping over the edge of a very tall and ste...
