You found what where?

Hola! The last few weeks have been really fun. It feels like spring is finally here and it is amazing! We've had a few fun adventures. Well, not really "adventures but we've done some fun stuff.

First, we planted our garden! Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law Jesse & I went and bought all the seeds and starters to begin our very own garden. I don't know why, but this makes us both feel very "grown-up". I'm so excited for the fresh carrots, peas, cucumbers, watermelon, and tomatoes and Jesse can't wait for the corn to start growing. I wish I had taken pictures, but I'm sure I'll get some when you can actually see stuff growing.

Alright this next story requires a little bit of background. (WARNING- if you are a little squeamish this is a toilet story and you might want to skip down to the next section.) Alright, so for the past couple weeks our lovely mauve and wood toilet has been clogged. I've tried not to bug Jesse about it too much, but it was hard to catch everyone that came over before they used it on accident. So after a week or so of it being clogged, Jesse went to the store and got a wire snake thing that is supposed to catch on whatever is clogging your toilet and pull it out. Well, the wire was not going as far as it was supposed to and as I was winding it, it just kept bumping Jesse (which now is kind of funny but he was freaking out about toilet water touching him) and ended in him just getting really frustrated. So a couple days later, Jesse's parents came over to help with our garden and offered to take off the toilet to see what was the problem. I don't think any of us expected this...


Yes, that is a bird in our toilet. How it got there is a complete mystery to me. But now our ugly toilet is fixed. So any "guess what was stuck in my toilet story" I can top. :)

Last. So I like corny things. And cheesy things. So I love cheesy corn, it is my favorite :) For the last little while, Jesse has been saying that if he could have, he would have taken me to prom (awww. I have such a good husband). So, I came up with the wonderfully ridiculous idea to throw a prom. So I made Jesse go on a little scavenger hunt--complete with candy--to "ask" him to be my date. (Lucky me he said yes.) I fixed up the basement with room for pictures, dancing, and dinner. We got all dressed up and danced then watched a movie to finish off the night. Jesse was so good to play along with me.



I just want to say how grateful I am for an amazing husband and for all he does for me. We really are blessed and all the little things make it worth it.
