Here Fishy Fishy....

I caught a trout yesterday. 

Mr. Gold took Rand and I fishing in the stocked trout pond at their house. 

I was casting out my line....

bored...a little chilly...got my hook caught in some brush (twice)... 

and then I caught a fish!! 

YESSSS!!!!

Nothing beats a Wednesday afternoon fishing by the pond :) And then...ironically.... 

We threw this little guy back, but then we went out and got sushi for dinner. YUM!!

Baby Sister

Well actually....she's 22.  But she just moved from Virginia to Utah, and she's living with Kaitlan and I. It feels a little bit like a sleep over everyday because it's been so long since we've lived together.

So far, we have: made lots of yummy dinners, road tripped to St. George, gone thrifting (DI/Savers) for her furniture, danced, karaokeed, watched Greys Anatomy, made brownies, grocery shopped, stayed out of trouble.

She makes me smile a lot. She gets me (maybe too well). She pulls out chicken to thaw for dinner. 

What more could a girl I ask for?

She just started working at the same company as me and right now we ride to work together every day.  Car shopping for her is on the to-do list for this week!

 Now & Then

Sunshine

I haven't updated recently, but we've been too busy having fun and waiting around for spring sunshine!  Since springtime won't come and the snow won't go away...

we went and found our own sunshine. 

... Rand went on a cruise to the Bahamas with his brother

I went to St. George and Zion National Park with some of my favorite ladies....

We're all tan & glowing - my shoulders are still red!

I'll post some pictures from our trip as soon as I get them uploaded!

P.S..... The House!

Rand stained and sealed the wood floor in the guest bedroom - 

it's BEAUTIFUL!!

He finished plastering & sanding the guest bathroom, 

and (with a little help from his mom) 

it is now painted a beautiful shade of  

Grey Owl!
