We had a great time! It's always fun because you see so many people who you don't usually get to spend a lot of time with.

Thanks for reading everybody, have a great weekend!

I've been tagged!

My very first blogging friend Sarah at Burgeon has tagged me this morning!




1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post these rules to your Blog.
3. Share 6 unimportant things about yourself.
4. Tag people at the end of your entry.

1 & 2 are done, so for 3:

~ I don't like the taste of water, so I will usually drink juice, milk or tea
~ I love flowers! All kinds, all colors, in all seasons, and I cannot wait until we get our landscaping done so I can have my own :)
~ Our Internet was down at home this morning and I about went crazy!
~ I adore eating out. It's not that I don't enjoy cooking, because I do, I'm just not very good at it so it kind of stresses me out. Eating out completely solves this dillema
~ I never owned real jewelery until I met my husband, who doesn't believe in fake jewelery (not a bad problem to have, lol!)
~ Holding brand new babies makes me all warm and fuzzy inside! :)

Please pay no attention to the lack of makeup or apparent hair grooming skills!
Our friends Alex and Chelsea brought beautiful Kylie Luanne into the world on Saturday evening! :)

And I tag:

Lee at New to This Farm Stuff
Barb at Edie Marie's Attic
