Carrots!!
Yesterday I had a salad with lettuce and carrots completely from my own garden! It was a very exciting moment for me. The carrot was huge, at least compared to what I thought it was going to be. Since it's been a while I thought I'd post some pics of my garden and, most particularly, my carrot!

Happy Birthday Zachary!
It was Zach's birthday on Thursday and it was a good one! He is now 24 years old. They do grow up so fast.
The festivities started at midnight with the opening of one present. He was alright with waiting until later but I'm always so excited to see his reaction that I made him open one.
Unfortunately we both had to go to work but I did manage to text him happy birthday in different languages every hour just so that he wouldn't forget it was his birthday. As soon as we got home he was ripping into the rest of his presents. I had such a fun time shopping for him this year. I didn't get him anything he asked for but I think he was pleasantly surprised.
A camper stove from my parents (AWESOME)
It was a Daniel Craig movie birthday!
Lots of lower calorie snacks (we're trying to eat better).
He also got scrabble and I had one of our paintings from Peru framed for him. I think all of the excitement has him confused. He was trying to eat the movie instead of his snacks.
After presents we had a great dinner with his dad at Macayos and then it was home to watch one of his new movies (either one had Daniel Craig so I didn't really care which) and play Scrabble which he kicked my tail at (I'm out of practice).
Saturday we continued the celebration by going to see Lion King at Gammage with his family. It was AMAZING. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. We got to go to Cheesecake factory afterwards where Zach opened his electric razor (yay!) from his parents and we got to eat lots of cheesecake!!
All in all I think it was a good birthday and for the next five months he is only 1 year younger than me.
Happy birthday Zach! I love you!

Car Trouble
Well I have a lot of catching up to do and so it may take a few posts to get there. I don' t know if any of you have recently had car trouble and been stuck on the side of the road for 6 hours with nothing to do lately but that situation makes for some pretty creative entertainment. On our way home on Christmas ever my car was having some issues and we had to wait for 6 hours while my Dad and our good friend Joe came to rescue us. I'm very glad we had my camera or we would have died of boredom. Below is a little slide show of what went on.
We read separately.
We read together.
We almost got in a car wreck!
I don't have much comment on this one.
We Blair Witch Projected.
Once again, no comment.
We ate red velvet cake (there was only one fork).
We guarded our minds so that the aliens couldn't read our thoughts (thank you M Night.)
Zach had some strange thing explode out of his stomach!
We listened to the iPod. Bryan Regan comes in very handy.
We even shared some cake with Tray. He liked it.
As you can see it was a very eventful 6 hours and I regret to inform you that this is just a very small taste of the events that occurred. Just be glad you weren't there.
