Surprise!

These beautiful flowers were a suprise to me on Monday night, from my sweet and loveable husband!!! He has been working really late the past couple of weeks at the t.v. station and he promised to make it up to me. He told me that this was just the start of his making up the long hours to me. I was really suprised. I'm looking forward to more suprises from the love of my love. I love you Joe!!! Thanks for being my wonderful husband!!!

Sunday Evening Fish Fry

Amber has gotten us on this new diet recently to help her get pregnant. (and she thinks she needs to lose weight too, but I think she looks great as is) The other week we were going through recipes and meals in her diet book and planning our dinners. We came across a suggestion to have baked trout. Me being a fish loving person, I got all excited. Amber didn't share the enthusiasm. Even though her maiden name is Fish, she's never really been too keen on the idea of fish for a main meal. In fact, she'll probably tell you that she hates fish. But in the spirit of this new diet, she reluctantly gave in. When we picked up the fish in the store, each time I mentioned it she would give me a look of discust, so I mentioned it more and more just to get a reaction out of her. We cooked the fish, and it turned out pretty good, and I even think she liked it even though she wouldn't admit it.
Yesterday we made Louisiana gumbo and had some left over catfish so we (I) decided to have a fish fry with the leftover catfish and trout. It was great! I even heard Amber say she liked the trout, but not the catfish so much...we'll keep working on that one. It was funny watching her expressions as she was watching me pull the fish off the bones for her, and eating my fish directly off the skeleton (do I hear a unanimous yuck from all the ladies reading this) Mmmmmm....fish!
