Recent Happenings

Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come — as though that time should be of another make from this which has already come and is ours.

I realize it's been a while since I've posted what we've been up to recently. Not a lot, just random things, but still, I thought this blog needed an update.

Once recent Saturday, David spent the afternoon cleaning out our gutters. I think I got the more fun part of the job - standing on the ground and taking cool pictures...





Groundhog Day came, for which I made Groundhog Day Cupcakes. They were really a pain to make, but they turned out cute so I didn't care...



David and my Dad played golf together one Saturday morning, while I hung out with my Mom and Grandmother. When the men got back to my parents house, David apparently hadn't had enough golf so he continued to practice his skills in my parents backyard. He's a great golfer!



My coworkers and I gave an adoption shower for our coworker and friend, Lauren. She and her husband are adopting their two children (a girl and a boy) from Ethiopia. I made the decorations (with much help from my mother) as well as a traditional Ethiopian snack, and everyone else pitched in with the other food. It was SUCH a fun thing to celebrate the fact that she will be bringing her precious babies home soon!

















Valentine's Day also came, and my sweet hubby sent me a beautiful bouquet of red roses, a bear, and candy! We also went out for a nice dinner that evening and had a great time...



Last but not least, we FINALLY had a snow!!! I was starting to think we were going to have a totally snowless winter! It was only about an inch, but it was enough to make me happy!







So anyway, I realize this wasn't the most exciting post in the world, but at least my blog readers know I haven't totally fallen off the face of the earth! :)
