Visiting Idaho

We went to visit our friends and family in Idaho. On the way there it started raining a little bit, but we saw the most amazing rainbow! I don't know if I've ever felt to close to one before and we were able to see both ends. The pictures don't do it justice but it was really neat.We got to hang out with a few of Kemp's high school friends and friends from SVU. Brion and Danielle have a cute little dog that Tori got to play with. It was very tempting to get a second dog so that Tori could have a little buddy to play with while we are at work. We'll see about that though.All of our nieces and nephews had a blast playing with Tori. Bailey and Tanner would put her on the tramp and try to help her jump. Tori was a little scared but they were having so much fun. Tori did so well with the kids and the kids were being gentle with her for the most part. They just had her running all over the house, inside and out. Tori was so tired after playing with the kids. She just flopped over after they all left. She slept the whole way back to Utah...which was about 5 hours.

Snowboarding in Brighton

My brother, Tony, came to visit us last weekend to go snowboarding. So, we invited our friends in Las Vegas to join us, Abell and Brit. We had a blast! It was the first time I've gone in about 10 years and Brit has never snowboarded. So, Brit and I were falling all over the place. We woke up really sore the next day. It's kind of a bummer that the season for skiing is pretty much over. I would love to go more often!

Birthday in January

I'm a little behind on stuff but we celebrated my 22 birthday in January and we went and played Whirlyball. It is a ton of fun! You can look it up on google to see some videos, but it's basically a mix of basketball, lacrosse, and bumper cars. Sounds crazy huh?

My Sweet Kemp

I keep looking through blogs and everyone keeps bragging about their husbands. Well...I think it's my turn :)

Kemp and I were having an off day last week, but the following day he showed up at my work with these:

I love it when he does stuff like this. I always wondered how it would feel to have someone bring me flowers at work....it was awesome!

Present Made by Whitney

Here's how it works: the first 5 people to respond to this post (I LOVE comments) will get something made by me personally. What I make is my choice, but it will be made JUST FOR YOU!

However, like all things that sound too good to be true :), this offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- There is no guarantee that you will like what I make!

2- What I create will be just for you personally.

3- It will be completed sometime this year. :)

4- You will receive no clues as to what it's going to be.

5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange if I so desire... it may blow your mind!

Or it may not. It may be very simple and predictable... but hopefully you will benefit from it! And like most things that sound too good to be true, there is a catch. You must re-post this on your blog and offer the same deal to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. Not too bad, huh? In fact, I think it'll be a lot of fun!! Email me your address if you are one of the first 5 to respond so I can send you my gift. whitneylgoodwin@gmail.com

I am really excited about this! It is almost like "Pay it Forward"

New Entertainment Center

We decided it was time for an upgrade in our living room. We live near an Ikea so we decided to stop by and see if we could find anything. We saw this:

It was love at first sight. We checked around at a few other places but nothing really caught our eyes like this one did. We got everything and started putting it together. It is important to know that there are three sections to this setup. There's the middle where the TV goes and two shelves on either side. We set up the middle part this past Sunday and decided that the two shelves were going to be way too much. It was going to pretty much take up our whole wall in our living room, which wouldn't look good. So, we stuck with the middle part and got this:

Maybe one day when we have a house to ourselves we can add to it because we do still love the setup with the shelves.
