It all started out quite calmly……..

Saturday Evening:
Amy cooked Brian his favorite meal in honor of our 6 month anniversary (chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes). We had planned on eating the top of our wedding cake after dinner, but Brian ate so much steak that he didn’t have room for anything else.

Sunday Afternoon:
Brian was hard at work studying for some CLEP tests when his hard working brain decided it needed to have some sugar. So, he and Amy broke out their wedding cake top.

Together they cut a piece for Amy. Then Brian proceeded to put a little icing on Amy’s nose while she wasn’t looking. This was payback for when she put icing on him after their wedding. The two happily ate their cake and drank milk while remarking on the jelly filling that they hadn’t gotten to taste on the day of the wedding.

Finishing off a quarter of the cake, they scratched their heads as to what to do with the rest. Brian thought of putting some back into the freezer to save for the one year anniversary (we were originally saving the whole thing for then, but it takes up a lot of room).

Now half of the cake is left, so the happy couple proceeds to dig out the jelly filling and eat it. Brian then innocently takes a big chunk and smears it all over Amy’s face not expecting the quick comeback that would follow.

I’ll spare you all the details, but Brian had a great time and really messed up Amy’s kitchen (and face and hair and ……).

But being the gentleman that he is, he helped her clean up and they are still best friends.

Moral of the story…… don’t wipe icing on your beloveds face at your wedding or you could end up with a face full of cake later on………

       FBC Hawkins – Our new church home!
      
   Brian and I joined this morning. We have visited for a while,
we had the pastor over to answer some questions and we had
our Sunday school teachers over too. We have prayed for a
good church home and this looks like the answer. They already
want us to join the choir It’s kind of neat – our first church
membership as a new couple.

The baby Bluebirds sure have grown! Laura and I took a walk to visit them yesterday and I was amazed at how fast they are developing!

The eyes aren’t open yet but they have a lot of feathers. They have also learned to recognize their parent’s voice and won’t open their little mouths when I chirp at them.


Here is one of the parents waiting in a tree until I leave. I’ve learned to recognize their call so I know when I’ve over stayed my visit.Who knows, maybe next week they’ll be flying!

Exciting news from the garden!

First off, I finished planting everything – I added carrots and corn, finishing out the whole plot.

I discovered a few bean plants poking up through the soil.

Here are our pepper and tomato plants:
 
I even found a few “baby” tomatoes! They weathered the transplant wonderfully – no set-backs in production.
