Zach & Zan: A review

Shocking as it may seem, Zach and I celebrated our four-year anniversary last week. Huzzah us! To celebrate our achievement (*smirk*), we spent the week doing all sorts of silly things with each other.

To start out, the Friday previous, Zach and I went to the zoo to play with the animals. We got up close and personal with a wallaby.


Throughout the week of our anniversary, Zach and I tried to use our Starving Student Card to the maximum, hitting up all the shops in town with free stuff on the card. It sounds kind of dumb, but we have been planning everything around using that discount card like it's going out of style (which it is, since it expires at the end of this week). Cheap entertainment and food is how we roll!

Then, for our actual anniversary, Zach and I headed to West Yellowstone to the Playmill Theatre and watched Guys and Dolls. Zach and I went to the Playmill one other time before this (and watched The Secret Garden) when we were engaged, so it was kind of fun to go back and do the same sorts of things that we did nearly four years ago.

And, not to get overly mushy, but it still felt the same: I'm still crazy in love with that guy, he's still my favorite person to hang out with, and he's still totally whipped if I can get him to go to a musical four years later. Am I right?

A New Member of the Mabey Family

We have a new addition! Yes, it's another grand dog. Her name is Bella and she's a 2-year-old yellow lab. Chad won her at the county fair by squirting water through the clown's mouth. Okay, not really. He gave her a home when her previous owner had to give her away. She's a really good dog, and loves it here in her new home. She and Koa are already very social.





We'll be setting up Facebook pages for both Koa and Bella soon, so Maja will have some more doggie friends. And if you're in the neighborhood, you'll have to drop in to meet her.
