Ironing Board

Today Cam asked me very seriosuly, "Do you want to get an ironing board later?"

And I said, "Oh? Um, are you asking me on a date?"

"No, I just really want to go get a regular sized ironing board. Our's is too small and it hurts my back. I've been wanting one for a while."

"Ok... suuuuree? Did you have a place in mind?"

"Target."

And the plans were set.

On our way home he asked me if I was going to blog about it so that everyone could know that he got a new regular sized ironing board. I told him I would... for him.

So, this is that post.

Welcome to our house, new full sized ironing board.

Easter Weekend

Cam's parents came in town for Easter weekend! Always a good time. We did many things that resulted in feasting, but I am not complaining. We celebrated this little cutie:

Happy 1st Birthday to our neice, Merika!

Then we had Easter dinner... The Spread:

Yes, most of the pictures of our weekend are of food. I guess that was the center of my attention... :)

Wednesday Mail

I had some fun mail on wednesday. Sure did. Nice to meet you! Please make me look good.... :)

Saturdays are for exploring...

Oh, how we've been missing mountains and everything they offer! Last Saturday we drove a few hours to "the Grand Canyon of Texas" to picnic and hike. While it was a very nice break from the flatness of Lubbock, I'd imagine Palo Duro canyon is even prettier during non-winter months.

We quite enjoyed being outside and exploring this part of Texas we've heard about.





These are the most exciting things we saw during our visit:






Afterwards, we ate delicious mexican food in Amarillo, and then ate candy and sang all the 2 hours home. Feeling very thankful for Saturdays!

Valentine's Flowers

The Friday before Valentine's, I came home from work to a kitchen chair blocking my way through the door. What was special about that chair is that it had a pot of these sitting on it:



Over the next few weeks, they bloomed and smelled up with house with amazingness. I love suprises!

"Goblet of Fat"

What is so much more exciting about festive candy?
Possibly, it's that I feel it is more easily justified.
Possibly, it's the seasonal colors that add to the ambiance.
Possibly, it's that it only comes around once a year.

Fortunately, we have the "Goblet of Fat" as we've taken to calling it
that sits so nicely next to our couches to offer us treats.
So, here's to you dear Goblet and festive candies!
