There is nothing better than spending the day with your family, unless it is spending it with your best friend as well.. Yesterday was awesome! I havent laughed so hard in a long time. It makes me feel good to catch up and talk and laugh, there is nothing better than that.. Something about old friends let you know that even though you dont see each other often the fact that you can pick right back up where you left off is a wonderful happy feeling.. I do miss home sometimes and wish I lived closer to everyone, hard to believe I wanted to move away so much!
Sometimes you just need a lazy day!
Today was our day!!! We have watched Xfiles all day long, I fixed some lunch and that is about it!! It has been a wonderful day spent together doing nothing!! I love my husband and enjoy the time that we spend together. We dont get many days like this so I try to enjoy them to the fullest when we can. He is a great man and I am lucky to have him!
The Garden 2!
I have onions coming up! Not a lot of them yet, some have taller tops than others but you can see more poking through the ground!!! Im very excited, I still have everything I planted no deaths yet. LOL Two of our big tomatoes dont look so great, but I am babying them, hopefully they will pull through!!!!
Update: 07/11/10– We have onions coming up and our tomatoes are going crazy, so far we only have two actually little green tomatoes, but we have tons of blooms so I can imagine what we are going to end up with. The peppers looks good to, no blooms on them yet and we have one squash flourishing.. I cant wait to get this stuff out of the garden and canned, frozen and eaten!!!
The Garden
So far I havent killed anything. We have a couple blooms on the tomato plants and one of the squash has a bloom. We were hoping they would get bigger before they bloomed. Maybe it is just a sign they will produce lots of fruit.. The poor apple tree looks like it is going to fall over, we have it tied up but it is so full of fruit Im not sure what we are going to do.. I watch it everyday and try to check it. The fruit is getting bigger so maybe we will have some decent apples.. At the price of them at the store I hope ours are edible. $4 something for a small bag is ridiculous!!

Saving Money
I realized the other day that we are saving money and paying things off slowly but surely.. There is a light at the end of this tunnel and there are several things going our way. I have cooked supper at home 9 out of the last 10 days. We are eating healthier and saving money at the same time. I am also getting a clothesline, and I cant wait. It will be nice to keep some of the heat out of this house this summer, considering it is only the end of May and we are already have 92 degree days. August is going to be a scorcher it seems. I have to get my coupons organized there are so many great ones but I cant ever find them when I need them. That needs to be my top priority.
#mce_temp_url# (not sure why the link look funny, click on it anyway it is safe) I found this great blog. This woman can cook, you should all go and check it out!!! I cant wait to try some of her recipes, they all look so yummy!!!
What a day!
I was so thankful to be home tonight, the last two days at work have been a mad house. It’s nice to be here where it is calm.. I had planned on making meatballs to have for dinner and freeze up a bunch, that didnt get done. Im looking online for a good recipe that I will freeze well and Im looking for recipes with dry ingredients I can premix so that we have some quick and easy meals. We have to quit having dinner out so much. It is really expensive for one and two it isnt healthy at all.. Hopefully this will save us money and me time in the long run!
Today is the first day of the Rest of your Life!
Someone told me that this morning and ya know it very well could be.. Im trying to wake up every morning, thank God for another day and pray that I can be the person he wants and is molding me to be. It is hard some days and I dont always do a great job, but I know Im better every day by just trying!!!
