Fresh vegetables = yummy!!!

Just thought i would give you a quick update on how our garden is doing. So far, we have enjoyed strawberries, spinach, onions, tomatoes, and carrots. So good!!!! Nothing beats cherry tomatoes picked straight from the vine in the warm summer afternoon!! Soon, we will have red peppers. We are still hoping for cucumbers and yellow squash.

We thought we would save money and kill the bugs ourselves. So, we fired our bugs guys and got our own bug spray. After seeing it sit there for a day or two, I took actions into my own hand. I got all geared up with gloves, Jeff's head lamp and the spray. It was actually kind of fun. Never thought I would EVER do this, since I make Jeff kill ANY bug I see!

Jeff started his severance today, and I had today off, so we got to spend the whole day together!! It was great! We bought a BBQ grill and had an excellent dinner!!! Jeff is a superstar when it comes to putting things together - he put that grill together really fast!


Look - I planted a flower garden!! I am addicted to gardening now! There are a few plants I planted from seed that haven't come up yet, so we will see if they grow or not :) Hope so!! Next year we will raise it a little and add another layer of bricks so it will stand out more.


And here are a few pictures from my birthday!!! I had a great day!! I went to the spa with a few of my close girlfriends, then out to dinner with friends.


I LOVE getting pedicures!!!!!



I love these girls - I have known all of the them almost the whole time I have lived in AZ (8 years now)!!


My two best friends - Karen and Noelle.

Still inlove!!
