The BIG 29

Pictures from my birthday this year. Vickie decorated my cube at work, got me flowers, her boys drew me pictures, she also did the birthday celebration with my favorite - cotton candy Rita's and funfetti cupcakes.

Lastly, Chris got me a new necklace from Tiffany's. love it.

Thanks to everyone for making my birthday special with cards (from far away!) and messages! I love you all!!!

Yard work

Lately I have taken a liking to gardening. There is something so rewarding about having something look like it has died over the winter an then come back to life after a little TLC.

This year I am trying snapdragons. Yellow snapdragons. We also had this vine that we planted by the grad that Chris was convinced it died! It can back and is looking great! Also, with the snap dragons out front I planted a little green vine withy them that I thought would look nice... Turns out- after consulting with my mom- that whatever plant this is (it made blue flowers) is one that my Grandpa Clyde loved to plant. It is amazing how things like that come up. I know my Grandpa would be proud of me and my newfound interest. I really do miss him.

Today, when I was watering I decide to let the little trouble maker be with me outside... She was very amusing! Pictures from today obviously show the grass still needs some help before its looking good again, but its not bad either consider that a few weeks ago it was all yellow. Virginia was good... But was too interested in the hose ad water... Resulting in a bath :)

Third BlueApron Meal

Chris made this one while I was at work so I didn't get to document the processes... More like just the plating.

This meal was delicious... Except it had A LOT of garlic!

All I have to say is... poor Chris's coworkers :) I think he took extra gum tonight.

Easter in DC

I thought i posted this awhile ago...

We drove up Reston,VA - near D.C. - to stay with Cindy and Frank for Easter.

Here are some photos from our trip. We brought GA with us and she loved it! It was also nice because we got to see Maddie, John, Evan, and Francis.

Good times! I really appreciate having family near :)
