Cole and I went to the horse races here in Columbus with our new friends Ben and Kari Spicer. They just moved here and actually moved into our old apartment because we just moved into a beautiful house that has a basement! Basement is the key word here....

Ben and Cole both work at Becton Dickinson together.

The lovely Couch family. From left to right, top to bottom: Amanda, Dan, Amy, Stevie, Johnny, Bradley.

Amanda is my Young Woman in Young Women's. I am the first counselor in the Young Women's presidency.

Christmas Card 2011. This is a rough draft of our picture. We went with the Couches to take these pictures because we both want corn field Christmas cards this year. Amy Couch wasn't too pleased with how their pictures came out.... we might end up back in the fields for round two.

Me and Cole at the Winter Quarters Temple in Omaha. We go there once a month and make a whole fun day out of the temple. We usually go to the temple, go shopping, and out to dinner --mainly at the Cheesecake Factory :)

This was a sight I saw coming back from Omaha one day. We ran into a group of farmers driving their tractors on the side of the freeway. It was unlike anything I've ever seen.

Me and Dottie at Girl's Camp 2011 in Iowa at Little Sioux Scout Camp. I got a call from our Branch President one week after we arrived in Nebraska asking me to go to Girl's Camp. Three days later... here I was in Iowa setting up my own tent for the first time.

Streets turned into rivers after a complete down pour last week in Nebraska. Luckily the storm was not a severe one. I was especially grateful! However, this water is at least a foot deep!

Me and Cole in front of our new house. Christine and Dan came to stay with us the second night that we moved into this house. It was the best time. I think we stayed up til midnight just talking on the couches.
