Hand Gun

We went to the gun show today and got Bret an awesome gun! He has done tons of research on what type of hand gun he wanted. And now he finally got it. It is a springfield XDM 9mm two tone. Lauras husband Bill has sent Bret tons of of stuff for it like a gun cleaning kit and ammo. I geuss it's hard to get ammo right now so if you can get it get while you can.

reaping the reward

So...Bret and I had Tuna Fish sandwiches for dinner. And I used my vegetables on them! So we had fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and sugar snap peas on the side. Ha ha it was so funny the first bite I thought "Oh no, what if the lettuce was really a weed?" They kinda look like weeds! It's called loose leaf lettuce and it is really good!

Garden Box

So we live in a town-home that really doesn't have a yard. But I wanted to try out planting a little garden. Bret and I ventured over to Lowes and bought us some supplies. I researched what type of wood to use and how to get proper drainage. So we used redwood and 1inch thick cinder blocks for the bottom. We had to place it on our concrete patio out back since we can't dig up the lawn. Bret did amazing! I always say that he can do anything because I really think if he puts his mind to it he can do ANYTHING! I'm sure I bug people when I say that but it's true:-) Anyways I planted spinach, lettuce, carrots, sugar snap peas, green onion, and walla walla sweet onion. I also planted a raspberry bush and a tomato plant in the front yard. I planted the garden box with seeds. It was so cool seeing the little plants grow. I felt like a little kid.

 So here are a few pictures of the box and other plants around our house (can you tell which ones are bonsai?). The peas are dying- don't know why? We had TONS of rain for about 2 weeks so maybe that is why? Who knows....Let me know if you have any advice

Wednesday during Bret's lunch break we went to Gateway and got me  new MacBook

and if you buy a macbook for "colllege" then you get a free ipod touch! Ohh Ohh and they give you a $100 rebate towards a printer! I love Mac!

So I woke up this morning to breakfast in bed! Bret is so sweet! He made grapefruit w/ honey, toast, blueberry muffins, scrambled eggs and OJ! What a man
