Where have you been?!?!

I know, I know.  I am just out of it lately!  Or rather - IT'S BEEN WARM OUTSIDE!  I am loving being outside and cleaning!  I am so excited for spring.  This is the time of year that I find motivation!  I just want to get everything clean and organized - including my body!  I love this time of year!  

Dustyn received a small cash award for his Teacher of the Year Award.  Guess what my wonderful husband did with it?

For him . . . 
And for me . . . I am so excited! We are ready to get in shape and lose a few unwanted pounds. This is something that we can do together that we enjoy! (And most importantly - doesn't involve my FEET! Blah.)  This will for sure be part of our exercise plan.  We went for a ride last night.  It was so nice and fun!  And a serious workout!  (It's uphill to my parents house!  LOL)  I am so excited!  

We also got all the limbs picked up in our yard.  It was a task.  There are a TON of trees in our yard that LOVE losing limbs when the wind blows.  We filled our city trash can and had to go buy another 45 gal can and filled it.  And I am talking STUFFED!  Dustyn got in them and jumped up and down to smash it in and fit more!  And there are plenty left over.  I am excited for the next wind storm!

Dustyn also took down the Christmas lights!  YAY!  We usually get them down the first week in January, but it has been a busy year so far and too stinkin' cold!  

So that is a basic update.  It's been busy, but a great month so far.  :)  

It's COLD!!

It has been so cold lately! I am glad it's not hot and it's cooling off, but man, oh man. It's cold! I am not ready to turn on the heater yet! So here I sit on a Sunday afternoon in my bed trying to get warm! Brrr...

Whatever happened to Spring and Fall! I bet it will warm up soon though. At least we didn't get snow like the northern part of the state! Ha ha!

Soup is definitely on the menu for dinner!!

Spring!

I am so excited for spring. It has been in the mid 70's this week. It has been so nice. Plus, there is an extra hour of daylight after I get off work... so yesterday we had a picnic outside and started working on our yard... getting all the leaves and twigs cleaned up that were left over from fall. We barely touched it, but it sure was fun to be outside! Then we went and bought some strawberries, rhubarb, and red onions to plant! We also got this hanging plant thingy for our front porch and planted flowers in it... I am sure it will have to spend some time in the garage for awhile, but I am still super excited!
