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!

My Adventures in Crochet Land!

So I have decided to re-learn how to crochet again. When I was younger my mom taught me how to crochet, I crochet some blankets, but that was all. Since I'm home most afternoons by myself and get bored I decided to do a craft so I picked crocheting. I went to Wal-mart and bought a book called I taught myself how to crochet. So I read though it and started making a scarf, then I moved on to cell phone pocket, then I made joe a hat. Also made some baby booties. I have really had lots of fun crocheting and look forward to making many more things..... I"m in the process of making me a snowman applique. Here are some pictures of the items that I crochet. If anyone whats to get together to crochet, let me know.

A little Alabama snowstorm!

We woke up this morning to a white backyard and large snowflakes falling. The weather guys predicted snow, but its Alabama... it doesn't snow here. Sure enough it snowed. We turned the t.v on to the news and watching for them to announce that the roads were closed and church had been cancelled, but no such luck. Usually when it snows here they close the whole city down. So it was strange to be able to drive on the interstate overpassess covered with snow. It was fun. Heavenly Father gave us some variety for a Sunday morning. We took a couple of picutures just because snow in Alabama only happens once every other blue moon. Joe tried to make a snowman, but he couldn't do much since most of the snow had melted by the time we got out of church.
