Before we left Boise, Nick and I had discovered a special place in the foothills. He was drawn to it because it require some four-wheeling and I loved it because it overlooked the city. We would go there to celebrate our anniversary, birthdays, or for no reason at all...just to get away...without really getting away. When Nick returned from his deployment to SWA we loaded up the jeep with a champagne breakfast and watched the city come to life. Anyway, we recently made our first trip to our spot since returning to Boise. Surprisingly, not much had changed except the road leading to our spot is starting to be paved for more housing. I have a feeling it won't be our spot much longer...unless we come into some serious money. Anyway, we took the boys, in the Jeep, of course, and had a wonderful time. While we were there Jay noticed that there was a lot of litter on "our mountain." He suggested we come again with garbage bags and garden gloves and clean it up. My heart swelled with pride. It isn't my doing though, before we left NC Nick took Jay out with the Knighs of Columbus on a highway clean up. So, this good deed can be attributed to him...but I am still so amazed that Jay took such pride in this land, enough to want to come back and clean it up. Now, if only I could instill that pride in his room!! Anyway, here are some photos from "our mountain" clean-up.
Doesn't Nick look good? Yeah baby!!! He has been working out like crazy...his hair long and I even like the goatee...he looks distiguished with that touch of gray. Yep, I married a "HOT-TEE!!!"
Sunset from "our mountain." This was just the beginning we had to leave just as it was REALLY getting good. Note to self...must always have camera ready!!!

Ohhh.. Jay is such a good kid! How awesome that he would want to go pick up trash to keep the environment clean. Aunt Katherine is SO proud of him!
And Nick looks very distinguished. I bet he is enjoying all the leisures that military life did not allow (i.e. long hair, goatee, etc)
