Austin and Kaylynn's 28th Wedding Anniversary

September 6, 2024 is our 28th wedding anniversary.

Austin sent flowers to me at work. 

He sent this to the family group chat:

Hi family: just wanted to wish your mom happy anniversary. 28 years is a long time. We have been poorer than church mice. She has helped me get two degrees, she has taken care of horses, sick calves, ran ropings, opened chutes, driven truck, hooked up trailers, stayed up late for kids to come home, stay up with sick kids, gave birth to amazing kids. She loves God, loves Jesus, loves her family. Thanks for 28 years Kaylynn.

A classic quote of the day that represents our 28 years of marriage: Kaylynn “oh, is it jeans Friday?” Austin “it’s anniversary Friday and my butt looks better in jeans, so it’s all for you."

We went out to dinner at Kilmorey Lodge in Waterton. We got a free dessert since it was our anniversary. Austin would have chosen the chocolate cake, but he unselfishly let us order the apple crisp since that is the only thing I could eat. What a great husband!!!!

Summer 2024

Carly said she was going to start an Instagram page called "Me and the (pa)rents"

That was pretty much the theme of our summer. The three of us had quite a few adventures. We hiked to Bertha Lake. We played in the creek, we floated the canal, and we floated at Payne Lake. On the day we decided to float Kimball River, the weather forecast said it was going to be a warm day, but it was overcast and rainy but we still went. It was fun, but we were pretty cold by the time we got to the car. 

We also went to Glacier to hike the St. Mary's and Virginia waterfalls. We even did a little cliff jumping in our clothes. Then we stopped at a taco stand for dinner.

Austin trained horses for lots of other people this summer, so he was out in the arena pretty much every day. Carly also rode her horses most days if she wasn't scooping ice cream. Carly also took the challenge of 10,000 basketball shots this summer from the high school coach, so she went everyday to shoot 300 shots.

We love summer.
