My Midwestern dream: get a deep freezer in my garage that contains a pillow sized bag of shredded cheese.

No Fishing

On one of our recent trips to storage (making that second bedroom into a nursery has been so fun) Jason stumbled upon his tackle box. One of my favorite memories early in our relationship- while we were still dating- was taking Jason to Bena,MN for a full week of fishing. (something I'd been doing every year since birth.) I was filled with joy to share Bena with Jason and he took it all in like a sponge. You know that moment when you see someone come into their own. I saw Jason do that in Bena. He loved it. We were in God's country, at dawn, with our poles in the water and I still can't think of anything that tops that. The cool thing is, I know we'll be back. And we'll get to teach another generation where to find the best fishing spot.

Drink up!

Today I chugged some orange drink at the doctor for my glucose test. They call it glucola. glug glug glug. To me, it tasted more like the Orange Drink you get from McDonalds which I haven't had for years- do they still sell it? Speaking of which...my Mom and Dad said the Shamrock Shakes are here!! Everybody, to the golden arches!

Paint Day, Step 5

Step 5: Be proud! Good job everybody! We are both happy with the color we picked - "Uncertain Gray" cause it sorta looks blue.

Paint Day, Step 4

Step 4: I stepped out of the room while Jason rolled on. Yes, Jason's team building 2008 shirt really does say "Mission: Possible" :)

Step 3: Paint the trim. (I just realized these are all pics of Jason working. I was working too.)
