Mmm, good day

I just put the finishing touches on two papers. One an 8 pager written in Spanish, the other a 10 pager written in English. I love the feeling of finishing a paper. Then I came home to see Hoss had pooped on the GRASS and not the patio--a big achievment for him. Haha! (Even if it was only like 7 inches from the pavement, literally) After a big bowl of leftover spaghetti for lunch, I felt like writing a blog because the day was so good!

(An egg cartoon of nothing?)

When I came into the office I glanced at my egg carton of pepper seeds--LO AND BEHOLD! I saw a little pepper plant shooting up!! Gosh, I was happy. Here is a picture of the little guy :) It is so crazy to think that enormous, towering trees and tiny little flowers all start from one little shoot that decides it wants to meet the sun.

My little basil friends keep growing each day. They are very friendly :)

Yesterday Zach and I planted our blackberry plants. His is above, he named it Moses. Mine is on the bottom, I'm still deciding on a name.

Here is the corn starting to shoot up in the garden.

The lettuce is just itty bitty clover lookin' things :)



And finally, here is our little house. On Saturday we had a 75th birthday party for it and invited a bunch of friends over to our house. I think it is aging quite beautifully, don't you?

Yesterday we sat on the porch, drinking kool-aid and eating barbeque potato chips. (You're never too old for that) Hoss sat by us, thumping his huge tail anytime we laughed. We just sat there for an hour chatting, or just watching cars and people going by. We joked about how boring most people would say we are. If we're only 19 and 20, and already spending our afternoons sitting on our porch --what will we be doing when we're actually old people!! Haha.


Either way, I thought it was absolutely beautiful.

I say this a lot, but...God is so good.
