Jewelry Box

Along with the wonderful surprise of my sister coming for my birthday, Bryce got me a jewelry box. I have been in such dire need for one and have never been able to find one. Just about every morning I have to ask Bryce to untangle the jewelry that I wanted to wear because it was just a huge mess. It was an extra surprise and I absolutely love it. It looks so cute with the bed set. I finally got all my jewelry put into it, and the best part is that my necklaces can hang in the back so that I can easily get one out without it being in a big tangled mess.
Sorry about the blurry photo, our camera was dropped in water a few times so its not in the best condition, but its better than nothing.
Thanks Bryce for my wonderful birthday surprises, I love them!!!

Little Piece of Heaven

So in a little town about 30 minutes from Kirksville is a restaurant called The Pear Tree. Its pretty much the most amazing place that we have ever eaten at. Its in a very small town and the building is nothing special, but inside the atmosphere and food is out of this world!! They serve the usual steaks, chicken, and seafood. We have only been there twice (thats all a student salary will allow), but wish we could go at least once a month. Its wonderful, seriously the best steak that either Bryce or I have ever had. They make their own everything croutons, salad dressing, batter for their wonderful onion rings, and their mashed potatoes are to die for. Anyway, the reason for this post is because I have recently learned that a grocery store in Kirksville is now selling the croutons and salad dressing. Ah, its music to my ears. I seriously find every excuse to eat salad now. I just love it.
When we move I am seriously going to stock up on this stuff. I just wish that everyone that I know could try that restaurant.

Birthday Surprise

So for my 23rd birthday my wonderful husband and sister gave me the best present ever.....Tiffany came to Missouri!!!! I was so shocked when she told me that I had better leave my house to go get her because she would be waiting in Kansas City for me. ( It takes 3 hours for us to drive to the airport, and it takes 3 hours for the flight to get there from Salt Lake) I could not believe it, I had been wanting her to come forever.
We had lots of fun, we hung out and Bryce grilled some awesome dinner for us. We spent the day shopping in Columbia on Saturday and spent way to much money. Tiff was culverized and loved it!! She even won a free scoop of ice cream because she found a fry that was longer than 5 inches.
We shopped till we dropped literally, we saw good movies, and on Sunday we stopped at Liberty Jail on the way to the airport.
I would post pics but on the way home Bryce and I discovered that we had misplaced our camera somewhere and still have not been able to find it, yes we even drove back to the jail and no one turned it in. So i guess there will be no pics for a long while.
I just wanted to tell my sister and Bryce how much I love them, and how much fun I had this weekend. It was the best present ever. Her visit was to short, but I loved every minute of it.
Thanks to the both of them for making my 23rd birthday awesome.

I know I have not posted in forever, and I am seriously going to try an update our blog more often. Hopefully one of our cameras will show up so that we can take some pics of our outings, but until than I will try and keep posting about whats going on in Missouri.
