Chevron wood flooring.... beautiful! I especially like the dark wood in the last picture!

{pretty kitchens}

I think that my favorite room in a home is the kitchen. I really love cooking lately and I am always looking at kitchens I would put in my dream home that would be fun to cook and eat yummy meals in! These are some of my faves...

{mini torch}

I miss my mini torch...Erin Anthony. Hopefully July 29 rolls around here pretty soon so she will come visit me. Erin...if you are reading this let me bribe you by saying we can make a trip up to your hometown of Butte, Montana and count how many people are missing limbs. I know that will persuade you to get up here as soon as possible. I need someone to gossip with... Life is so much more dull without you!

{lucky me}

So...after a month of job searching in Bozeman I was getting quite discouraged and starting to think I was going to have to move back to Salt Lake. LUCKY ME however, got an email from a family asking if I would want to be a nanny up in Big Sky, of course I said YES!!! Big Sky is a beautiful resort town about a 40 minute drive from Bozeman. The family is wonderful, 2 kids, Stella age 1 and Garrett age 9. I also really love the parents Gena and John and enjoy spending time with them and the kids doing fun things around the town of Big Sky and occasionally taking them down to hang out in Bozeman. One of the best perks of the job, along with several others, is membership to an AMAZING private golf and ski community called Spanish Peaks. I have never been a golfer in the past but this summer has gotten me hooked on the sport already! Who couldn't get hooked on free golf at one of the top 10 private golf courses in the country?? Everyone at the lodge at SP is very nice and welcoming and me and Garrett like to go and hit balls at the driving range, play a few holes, grab a great lunch, and hit the hot tubs and steam room while we are there. Stella enjoys it too, but she mostly likes to play in the golf cart and throw balls around. One of the other things I have loved about spending so much time up here is all the wild life I get to see up close! The other day we were driving up to Spanish Peaks and came across a giant Black Bear just hanging out in the middle of the road...we were about 5 feet away from it! I also get to see Moose, Elk, Deer, Rabbits, and Rams on pretty much a daily basis. It has been a wonderful summer so far and I can't wait to finish up the summer here! I am surely blessed to be given this opportunity and placed with such a wonderful giving family, all while getting to spend the summer with my wonderful boyfriend. I couldn't be happier!
