A reason why I love spring here...

Arizona definitely doesn't have trees like these! When the wind blows - it looks like it is snowing purple!

Love it!

Second BlueApron meal

Chris decided to make the second meal.

Seared Kielbasa (sausage!)

I'm gals Chris wanted to make this meal because it intimidated me a bit.

Ended up delicious!

Totally recommending this service - even got a text from Cody today wanting to try it... Too bad they don't deliver everywhere :(

Hey buddy!

Georgia love her puppy Virginia :)

First BlueApron Meal

So while we were in Reston, VA visiting the Vaughans, Maddie and John were telling us about this website called blue apron.

Basically this is a service you sign up for and they send you the ingredients and recipes for 3 different meals. You get a delivery once a week. Chris an I decided to try it out. John even sent us a code to get 3 free meals! It is $10 per meal. Less that what it would cot to go out to eat.

Pretty good deal and you get to try all sorts of things!

First meal was SeaBream. I was a little worried since Chris isn't a huge fan of fishy smelling fish. He ended up really liking it. It was made with a tomato jam which he also loved- and he does NOT normally like tomatoes. Overall I would say it was a success!

A little Arizona in Virginia

I did some gardening yesterday and while selecting plants I came across the cactus selection... I am always so tempted to buy a bunch of them to make a little cactus garden. :)

I ended up buying one and planting it in one of our Arizona Starbucks mugs Chris won in the Wheeland/Ridenour family secret Santa this past December.

Brought it to work to show my zona pride!

April fools always reminds me if my Grandpa Clyde... I miss him and his great sense of humor.
