April Showers Bring....

Sorry it has been a while since my last post.  I'm sure everyone has missed the very exciting lives of Eric and Sara.  We have been up to not a whole lot.  Some of Erics family was in town last weekend to see Elton John here in Missoula and it was nice to have them around.  We love having company! (hint to the hunts! ; ) )  Anyway, I wanted to start growing some things on our back patio this spring.  I just had a green thumb and since we live in a third floor apartment, I had to get creative.  We got a planter that hangs over the edge  deck and then Eric built me an awesome planter.  We are starting to grow some tomatoes in that and flowers in the little hanging flower box.  Should be fun.  There is just one little problem.  Our plants have to stay inside until the REAL spring gets here.  Apparently spring means something different in here Missoula.  The pictures should explain everything!  It started snowing yesterday (april 19!) and the other pic is what it looked like when it was done snowing!  GRRRR!  I guess it means less forest fires surrounding us! ( i hope)  And look at that plant box!  Eric is the greatest!

My trip to St. George

I had such a blast in St. George.  It was my first time spending the night away from my husband, so it was very hard for me to leave.  I was excited to see my family, but I didn't want to leave my dear sweet husband in the snowy cold of Missoula....but i did!  My flight was so awesome.  I had been stuck in the doom and gloom of Missoula and as soon as the plane took off and got above the gray, I could not believe my eyes.  The sky was a vibrant blue and the clouds were glowing white with the sun shining down on them.  To top that off, I was listening to a little eddie vetter(sp?) 'Into the Wild' soundtrack.  Needless to say, I had a big relaxing smile on my face.  Doesn't take much to make this girl happy.  I love my little nieces and nephews so much.  I really want to see little man ethan soon, so we'll see what we can pull off, but here are some random pics of my St. George fun!

Happy 7th Birthday Sweetie!

Today my husband turned 28 on his 7th birthday. The day started off opening presents, followed by a phone call to a radio station- and the host called me a 'cradle robber'.  Since this was the first real birthday I have had with Eric, I wanted to do something extra special. We invited a bunch of our friends to Pizza Hut for dinner and then a few of us went bowling. Eric wanted his traditional German chocolate cake with homemade frosting. It didn't turn out quite like his mom's, but Eric said it still tasted great and everyone seemed to choke it down just fine- so no complaints here. (Mindi, I'll get the recipe on here soon!)  So all together, it was a great night!  I'm not usually one to get schmoopy on these blogs, but I did want to say how much I absolutely love and adore my husband.  He makes me the happiest I've ever been.  He is a genius in my eyes and such a hard worker.  Which brings me to my next point....

Seriously though, I love my husband beyond words.  Thank you so much for being born!

5 things you don't know about me:

I'm an open book, I'm not sure there is much!

1: I love the smell of dirt (depends where its from) and the paste from kindergarten

2: Although I have taken shots for 13 years now, I get queasy when I watch someone else get an injection.

3:  I hate cotton balls.  Just to think of them getting torn apart, oh, I have the chills.  (despite what my husband thinks, i'm not scared of cotton.  Try tearing it apart and that squeaky feeling.)  ahhh!

4:  I have a soft spot in my heart for elderly people.  I get a little teary eyed when I see an elderly person eating alone in a restaurant. 

5:  If I tweak my eyes just right I can look like Ed from the Lion King, and I can imitate Shakira pretty accurately!  Don't ask me to do either!

Another mug shot to remember

So here is another bright kid wearing a clever shirt for his mug shot. While it is not as funny as the other kids shirt, it is quite entertaining! I hope you get a laugh!
