they actually do like each other...

When He Could

Abner  LOVES the hose!  It makes watering the plants a hassle, not that I ever do it, but I feel for Ryan.   Abner is no longer allowed to play with the hose like this due to his back injury so I am glad to have it on film. Update: His back started to bother him again Friday night so we have him on one more round of pain killers and muscle relaxers that are supposed to help keep him calm...YEAH RIGHT!  

...and Counting

To be completely honest I can't remember if it was April 26th or April 28th that Ryan and I had our first "date," so I have decided to alternate dates each year and figure 50% of the time I will be correct.   Last year I wrote of our first meeting and I must say that rereading it this year made me a little teary.  I can't believe it has been four years.  FOUR YEARS.  It might not seem like a long time to some of you, but understand that up until I met Ryan my relationships lasted about as long as my houseplants, 5-10 minutes. Now here I sit four years later married with a baby on the way and it totally blows my mind.  4 years down, 60+ to go.  And there is nobody I'd rather spend them with. 2007 2008 2008 2009

  Do I really need to say more? I suppose I do in case anyone reading isn't from this area and doesn't react to that picture by getting up and running  for the Tecnu.  What's that?  You don't even know what Tecnu is?  I'm happy for you, I really am, but do yourself a favor and take a mental picture of this plant.  3 leaves, typically shiny and sometimes tinged with red or orange.   If you ever see it, look with your eyes, not with your hands and run for the Tecnu!  I swear even looking at it can cause an outbreak.  I am talking about poison oak and I HAVE IT.  So annoyed.  Why is it always the one who is the most cautious about not touching it that gets it?  I am boarderline crazy about staying away from the stuff due to HORRIBLE experiences as a kid; use your imagination.  Yep, I had it there too. Thankfully this is a minor outbreak and I hope to keep it that way.  I am a bit paranoid that I touched my face, my e...
