There's No Place Like Home...

There's no place like HOME...

We are LOVING our new house. We especially love our yard! We have a fabulous view of Mt. Nebo in back and the Red Cliffs in front, a huge garden, 5 different fruit trees, a basketball court, a covered patio, beautiful grass and flowers, and lots of shade!

There's no place like FAMILY...

Wright Family Reunion - Vivien Park, Provo Canyon - August 2009:

Rio - August 2009 (note-- this kid is JUST like his uncles, Reggie and Coleby: he never just SMILES sweetly for a picture!)




There's no place like LOVE...

...no place at all.

My Latest Feats:

Anyone want to pick up a new hobby? Quilting is the most expensive, time-consuming hobby known to man! But it's ADDICTING!! Here are the latest quilts I've finished:

TAXI:


SULTRY:


FRESH-SQUEEZED:







And, in memory of my very first quilt:


I will be back to school in less than a week, so I'll be kissing my little quilting love affair goodbye for a while--or at least I won't be quilting as much as I'd like. :)

Oh, and perhaps I'll get some pics of our new house once we're all settled. We are so excited to have our very own home!!

True Love is Friendship on Fire.

Well, the honeymoon's over! I am officially Mrs. Wright (and although I've changed my driver's license and social security, I am still signing my checks "Carli Clawson"! Ugh! One more annoying thing girls have to do that guys DON'T!). Yet life is, well, "just wright"!

Rio loves his daddy. His new favorite song to sing is "I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home." He's been waiting for this for 3 years. It's awesome. :)

Ryan and I are closing on a house on July 15th! HOORAY!!! We are so excited. We are getting a great deal on the cutest house. Now we just need some furniture to move into it... It will feel great to have our very own home. I can't wait!

Ryan gets some kind of reward reimbursements or something from his insurance for life-changing events, such as

*getting married (check)
*buying a home (check)
*adopting a child (check)
*having a child (ch...hmmm...maybe we'll hold off on this one for a bit???)

Lucky for him (someone who actually really struggles with change), he will experience every one of these within just a few months! Haha! And everybody told him I would change his life! He didn't realize they meant that literally! :)

Here are a few (you know-- **FEW** --wink, wink) of my favorite wedding pictures:









































True love is friendship on FIRE...
