Hair It Is!

My hair is a constant battle for me. It's so curly that sometimes I really don't know what to do with it. I have good hair days and bad hair days, just like everyone else...unfortunately this is what my good hair days look like:

My Lil Garden

So Harmel and I do not have a backyard, or a front yard, or any type of yard at all...but I LOVE gardening. So I decided to try my green thumb on our balcony. Right now we have a tomatoe plant, a red pepper plant, a stawberry plant, and lettuce and carrots, all growing on the balcony.

I just have to mention one thing. This is our second round of carrots and lettuce. The first round I planted a little prematurely and it was too cold to keep the box outside, so we kept it in our bedroom...we thought it would be a good idea because the cats aren't allowed in our bedroom, however Rembrandt (we think) snuck in a dug up almost the entire pot (the pot is a foot and a half long). My plants had already started growing! They were almost an inch tall and I had to start all over again...oh well!

She's Back...

So Amy has been home from Europe for almost 2 weeks now. It's so nice to finally have her here again. It's weird, but sometimes you don't notice how different things are until someone comes back home. Either way, things feel normal again.

Harmel and I and one of our other friends went to the airport to see her. It was great! I was so jittery that when she finally came through the doors I was about ready to jump on her. However, family comes first...so I had to restrain myself...

Nice 'n Hot...Finally!

Yesterday was Harmel's Aunt and Uncle's 25th wedding anniversary. To celebrate we went out to Cross Lake for a huge BBQ for the day! It was hot and beautiful, we couldn't have asked for nicer weather! Summer has arrived!





However, we didn't realize it was going to be that nice. In fact it rained on our way out...I guess you should always pack sunscreen just incase....

Chocolate Fiends!

On Monday Harmel won tickets to go to a prescreening of the movie 'UP' in 3D. The movie was last night, and we were so excited and it was great! I had even bought a chocolate bar to take to the movie with me. However, I never ended up eating it. I was just going to take it to work with me the next day so I left it in my purse, on the kitchen table...but the kittens got to it first...

The Working Weekend

May Long out at the cabin is always a "working weekend". Opening up the cabin for another year of fun and enjoyment after the long winter. This year we had some pretty lousy weather including snow! Monday morning Harmel and I woke up to find our tent covered in thick, wet, sticky snow. Nevertheless we still had a nice time.
