Windows
Probably the harder, most tedious job of them all, is the one he is currently working on as I sit here daydreaming about him. I was with him for about an hour yesterday and it was exhausting watching him. This is a 30 foot pole. It is wobbly, and heavy. Not to mention the whole time you are washing the window you have to strain your neck to get a good enough glimpse of what you're wiping. And let's not even talk about the strain it puts on your legs as you try to find the perfect angle.
To show you how long the pole really is...you can't even capture it in just one photo...yikes!
And finally we reach the top! And if you can tell, at the top there is this odd contraption. It is the invention of Brandon and Levi. Brandon being the brains (at first) and Levi being the engineer who can visualize it all and then throw it together. Since it isn't put together very professionally yet (duct tape, PBC pipes, and zip ties) it doesn't stay in perfect formation 100% of the time. This means you begin washing, then you start to squeegee and then mid project have to bring it down because something is not in line, and it is messing up the job. It takes a long, long time, but he manages.
Then there is the time where you have to go to drastic measures and get on the shaky ladder and use the pole so as to avoid that darn light box, or to experiment why the homemade contraption is not working properly.
My Man
Celebrating his accomplishment of GRADUATING from BYU-Idaho. He works hard with his hands, brains, and spirit. And I love it!
With the great location we have of living in Rexburg, this handsome man gets to ride his bike to school, work, and anywhere else when I have the car. He claims to love it, but there are a bunch of hills, and it doesn't sound easy, but he makes it look easy and good! (Just look at that cute face!)
Our New Home!
Levi chipped away at this ice chunk for hours so that our freezer would be workable. He did it without being asked, and without complaining. (Of course there was the occasional complaining just to get a laugh out of me..!)
He also did all the nailing and hammering into this crazy weird and bouncy wall and turned our house into a home:
He bought, and hung up these curtains so we can have privacy, and more darkness in our bedroom. What a man!
Visiting Utah
Each time we go visit his family, Mom has something for him to do. This time it was building the treehouse. He loves creating things, and he loves doing the jobs that Mom has for him. That is not sarcasm.

This was the latest project when we visited. He worked way too hard on this, buying parts, planning things out, tearing the house down, and then rebuilding it all in just about 48 hours! Good thing he has great goggles, strong arms, and tall enough limbs to reach the ceiling no problem. He is cute, and he is mine!
I realize this is a picture of me, but this demonstrates how willing Levi is to help me at all times. He drove me to the ER at 4 in the morning when I had kidney stones at 24 weeks pregnant. This is me waiting in the car, drugged, while he was in Walgreens getting me things like a heating pad, more drugs, etc.
Well folks, can't you see why it is so easy for me to be on cloud nine, every day?! He is a man of pure bliss, and dreams. He fills my life with joy...and dare I say that I am the luckiest person in the whole world to be able to call him mine. I love you Levi Daniel Vance.
