St. Louis Arch with the Gaithers

On Sunday of Memorial Day weekend we took Jeremy's family to the arch. The place was packed and we had to wait an hour and a half to go up in the arch. While waiting we checked out the museum, gift shop and general store. Walking to the arch. Waiting to get on the tram.Going up.At the top. View of Busch Stadium.

Jeremy's Surprise Graduation Party

So Jeremy's been working really hard trying to finish his master's degree from Wash U and working 12-14 hour days at work. So, he's finally graduated and I thought he deserved a party so I called his entire family to see if they could make it our house for Memorial Day Weekend. Everyone said they could and that was the beginning of the greatest surprise party ever! I sent Jeremy off to get a massage Saturday morning while everyone arrived at the house. We hid in the kitchen and when he came back, everyone yelled surprise and he about fainted! He was blown away that everyone had traveled so far for him. We had some lunch and then made our way to Grant's Farm and then Cunetto's (on the hill) for dinner. Here's a giant turtle we saw at Grant's Farm. But the surprises weren't over, when we got home he had a Dairy Queen ice cream cake (his favorite!) waiting for him. It was a great day!

4 Years - May 22!

I can't believe we have been married for 4 years already. Just seems like yesterday I was planning the wedding. So many things have happened in 4 years. For our anniversary we went to Tony's on Main in downtown St. Charles. The food was amazing and we would recommend it to anyone! Afterwards we had some time to kill before small group so we walked around downtown and along the river. It was great because no one was there, we had the whole place to ourselves. Here's a picture by the river.

And walking around downtown.

Step 2: Demolish Deck

It only took Jeremy a total of probably 7 hours to almost completely demo the deck. Here's what it looks like now.

Jeremy's New Guitar

Jeremy has been playing bass for the church band for almost 6 months now and borrowing a guitar. Well, he finally found one he liked so here it is. Isn't it pretty?
