Anniversary Flowers

I received these lovely roses for our anniversary…from Todd of course 🙂 The little pink flowers were decorations from Todd’s sashimi plate. We ate at The Loft (thanks Peter & Jessica for the gift)…a Japanese restaurant in “downtown” Lynden. The sashimi was really good…if you like small slabs of raw fish 🙂 The presentation was also beautiful and unique, I wish I had my camera. Todd had cucumber slices that resembled a snail and I had some fried noodle things that looked like coral. Overall it was a fun anniversary dinner date 🙂P1010082P1010079

3 Years

Todd & I celebrate our  three-year anniversary today. It seems like only yesterday that we were married on a beautiful, sunny California day. Of course there has been a lot of change & maturing since that day, but I have truly enjoyed every minute of it. I look forward to many more years together with my sweetie 🙂

These are some of my favorite wedding photos:

House Tour

For those of you who have not seen our place yet, I thought I would post some pictures of it all set up. I posted a link of the house a while back in October when we were looking to buy it, but the link has since been taken down. So here are some updated photos of the interior…it is still a work in progress, but I am happy with it for now 🙂 I am waiting to show you the full kitchen until we get our new dishwasher. We are having it delivered on Wednesday and Todd will install it. I’ll have more pictures of other rooms soon too.

He is Risen!

I am a little past due on the Easter weekend blog, but hope you all had a blessed time celebrating Christ’s death & resurrection. We have so much to be thankful for!

Todd & I spent the weekend with his family. It’s always fun to see them…plus we got an Easter basket full of candy from Tom’s Mom  🙂 For those who don’t know, Tom is Todd’s step-dad.  Sunday morning was uplifting as we remembered what Jesus did for us and that…He is Risen Indeed!

28

That would be the number Todd turned yesterday. We had an open house/birthday party with several good friends. I think there were almost 30 people here! It’s fun to have the space to entertain…though it was a little snug 🙂 The picture of Todd is with half his cake…I forgot to take a picture of the whole thing before we cut it 🙂P1010009 P1010003 P1010005P1010012

Taste for Blood?

Have you ever tried a Moro Orange…also known as a blood orange? Cutting into one for the first time is quite a surprise. You expect an orangey pulp, but instead you get a deep, dark red flesh. Not to worry though, the flavor is very much of an orange 🙂

Little Froggy

I came across this little fellow while working in the yard Monday. Isn’t he cute? I’ve always had a thing for toads and frogs, I used to play with them as a child. Since Todd had Monday off & it was a gorgeous day, we decided to rake up the last of the leaves. The picture shows just how big our pile has gotten. We should be getting our yard waste service soon, I am very happy about that. It will be nice to get rid of that eyesore 🙂
