Artists

A couple weeks ago, Bryce and I decided to switch up FHE a little bit. We went over to our good friends Cameron and Alyssa's house and painted! This is something we have never really done before, and we aren't artistic by any means, but it was so fun!

Here is our combined creation: 


And here are our individual paintings. Bryce's is on the top and mine is on the bottom:

Dumpster Diving

A Dirt Devil Powerstick Vacuum: $29.99


A Dirt Devil Featherlite Vacuum: $59.99


A Buckle Brand Vintage Hoodie: $39.95


A pair of Maurices High Heels: $34.00


A 2006 Macbook Pro + Install Disks: Average $200 on Ebay


XBox 360: $90 on Ebay


What do all these things have in common, you ask? Bryce and I got all these things for FREE! From where, you ask? A dumpster. Yes. You read that right. A dumpster. 

It turns out if you go dumpster diving at the end of a school semester in a college town, you can hit the jackpot on way nice stuff like this! I know. I didn't believe it either... until I experienced it myself. 

Well you know where to find Bryce and me at the end of every semester now... Rich, single-student apartment complex dumpsters. Feel free to join us! 

Washington and Canada

This is a VERY belated post. But now that I am on harvest break at school (we get 2 weeks off for potato harvest) I can finally catch up on some much needed blogging. Back in July, Bryce and I went on a trip with my mom and dad and aunt Kathy to Washington and Canada. We started out our trip in Lacey and stayed at Kathy's house. We even got to see my uncle Steve while we were there. 






Then we drove up to Vancouver, British Columbia, and stayed a night up there. We visited a cool part of Vancouver called Gas Town. It was fun to imagine what the town was like not so long ago when the winter olympics were there.











The next day, we got on a ferry and went over to Victoria, British Columbia. I loved Victoria. It was so beautiful and picturesque. We got to walk around the touristy streets and experience the fun culture. One of my favorite nights in Victoria is when Bryce and I stayed up late and watched some street fair shows. We saw some acrobats and a magician. We finished off our night with ice cream at a fun little shop.

We had to take a Titanic picture here.... it was perfect. 

 We mostly love this photo because of the lady in the background.... Enjoy :) 




Bryce was SOOO excited to find a Nando's in Victoria. It was his favorite restaurant in South Africa. 






We also got to go zip lining in Victoria... it was SO FUN! Even though Bryce was a little nervous, he thought it was a blast too! Definitely glad we got to do that. Thanks mom and dad!





We also got to go to the famous Butchart Gardens. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. 





It was such a fun vacation where we got to make a lot of fun, new memories. Thanks mom, dad, and Kathy!
