Anniversary!

Saturday marks our one year anniversary! Holy smokes! It feels like forever, when I think about the marriage haha but as far as the time of a year, the year seems to have gone by quick. And I haven't had to beat him that bad yet ;) I'm not sure what we're doing for our anniversary yet.... he has something planned. I don't think we're doing much on the actual day. I think we're gonna try Pizza Luce on Friday since everybody loves it but we haven't been there yet. Annnnnnd Sunday we WILL wake up at 6A to go see Cason come in. It's my favorite boat and I have not seen him come or go besides us chasing him up the North Shore a couple weeks ago. But that doesn't count. So it doesn't matter the time, we're gonna go see it.

It's finally starting to warm up in Duluth (and by warm up I mean 50's, and not until next week) and they think it'll actually stay warm this time. Like for real spring! I'm not so sure about a garden for the spring though :(. We'll see. But where we had planned to have the garden is a big fat non-draining pile of clay. I think we'll still try stuff but I think this summer will be more trying to improve that little patch of soil so it'll work better next year. With all that being said, I started some pumpkins for Matt a couple days ago. Of course, those will probably the only things that work in the garden and I will end up with a big ol eye sore of a 100 pound pumpkin in the fall. The seeds he picked out are supposed to grow up to 300 lbs but I doubt (and hope it doesn't) that'll happen with the such short seasons up here.

As I was typing this I got the best thing in the mail, which was going to be the next thing I said anyway. Tim in less than a month and just got my tickets!!!! :D


That's really it right now. We've been boring people I guess.

Later y'all!

Baby Eagle Cam!

That's a link to an Eagle cam in Iowa. Depending on when you see this, there's still one egg left that needs to hatch! I hope I get to see it. I do love my animal cams. Especially when there's baby animals to be born. In other animal news, we have deer that go sleep in the field by our house almost every night :) it makes me happy. Even if Matt laughs at me for looking every ten minutes to see if they're still there. But we're just waiting for the day we have a crash right outside our house from a deer trying to cross the road; there was a close call last night. The girls don't even seem to notice they're there. Good 'ol Penny with her hound nose....

This is a week/weekend where I actually get to stay in town! Yay, there's been too much travelling lately. Though I've liked getting to see my mom and this past weekend my cousin and her son. Who, by the way, is adorable. Might just have to steal the lil bugger. Matt is gonna leave Sunday :( to finish painting his parents' house and for his apprenticeship classes so it'll just be me and the girls and the deer for a couple days. But at least we don't have to go so the girls can still play at night instead of being locked up in their kennels like they would be if we went with.

Lastly, I have exciting farmy things going on! After Charlie tomorrow I am going to a backyard chicken class for two hours which works out nice because Matt is going to a union meeting. Hopefully I'll learn lots of good stuff and perhaps next summer we can have a chicken or two! And even more exciting, on April 19th I get to go to a farm that I'll hopefully get to intern at this summer and see what they're all about and help set up the hog paddocks and chicken brooders! I'm sooooo excited. I wanna go help again when they have chicks in the brooders :) chicks that I'll probably later help kill. Maybe I'll even get to take a (processed) chicken home to eat! The pay isn't great though if I do the internship with them..... but we figure this will probably be my only summer to get it in and I think I might get half paid in pork, chicken, and vegetables so I really can't complain! And hopefully I'll still be able to work out something with Charlie too so I can still see him.

Well that's our life right now! Hopefully a little less busy in the coming weeks because we really need to stay home and take care of house things so that it's more liveable now that we'll be home more often. Then my mommy can come visit :) and hopefully my brother.

Later!
