wooden gifts
For Christmas, I purchased these awesome wooden glasses (the Govy by Shwood) for Ty, but when they arrived they fit too small. Which, at first was a little sad, but worked out totally great cause we exchanged them for those bad boys on Ty's face up there! BAM! So totally rad. The new ones arrived this week and were totally perfect.
On the day they came, Ty showed up announcing that since I had gotten him a wooden gift, he had a wooden gift for me too. Wha?! And what he meant by that was he had built me a freaking sweet potting and plant stand for the patio! (and totally carried it over, by himself, so it would be more of a surprise). See picture above. Stud. Talk about a great day of wooden gifts.
PS -- If you're in need of awesome wooden sunglasses (and let's be honest, who's not?) the guys over at Shwood are awesome. You should definitely patron them when you are in the market.
treating each other right
Sometimes I think we, as people, forget that everyone else around us are just people too. We get stuck in our own heads. We forget to communicate. We forget to act for good rather than react out of instinct. Ty sent this my way this morning, and I though it was a nice reminder of how simple it can be to do great things.
deer creek reservoir is frozen
Last weekend, the gang went out to Deer Creek Reservoir to enjoy a fire, dinner, unexpected snow and some walking around on the ice.
Ty and I had gone, just the two of us, the week before, and we thought everyone would enjoy the adventure. So, I cooked up that tasty pulled pork recipe, we made make-shift roasters to toast the buns, and we all (Anna, Katy, Clay, Lance, Mike, Ty and me) went out and spent a few hours savoring tasty food and each other's company. We were greeted by a killer sunset upon arrival, and Ty taught me the reason why some of the frozen water was white below my feet and some of it was black like concrete. A great way to spend a Saturday evening for sure.

In other news, today marks 6 months of the Ty and Nicki show running strong, my friends. Booyah. I say this calls for the posting of the best picture Ty and I have ever taken.
