DC

After my drip to Baltimore I headed down to DC for a conference. I hadn't been to DC since I was a little girl so I was really excited. While I was there I got to catch up with lots of friends. I forgot to get pictures with a lot of folks but did get some with my friend Pam in Georgetown and also with my friends Mike and Miriam and their new little man John Mark! Pam and I went to Georgetown and, of course, we HAD to make a stop at Georgetown Cupcake. YUM!!! Then we went and walked around the National Cathedral!

It was a great way to be able to see almost all of the big sites/monuments for someone who actually had very little free time to spend seeing the sites. I would highly recommend this tour!

Baltimore

Last weekend I got to take a trip to Baltimore to visit my cousin Michael and Murat.  When I first arrived I spent some time in the aquarium by myself.  It was a great aquarium.  I could have spent all weekend there!

On Saturday Michael and Murat were AMAZING tour guides and we did just about everything possible there is to do in Baltimore. I was worn out by the end of the weekend but I had such a great time visiting these guys!

Jacksons Preschool Graduation

I can't believe this day came.  Jackson's preschool graduation.  When in the world did he grow up?  He is turning into such a little man!

New camera!

I've been wanting a DSLR for many years now. My friend Becky (who does professional photography) gets a call about once a month answering my 8 million questions (most of which have been asked a dozen times already)!
Well, today, I finally pulled the trigger. Happy birthday to me! I am super excited to learn to use this new camera and, hopefully, improve my photography skills!!!

First harvest

First fruits from the garden! Blows my mind that I got real veggies from seeds I could barely see! I gobbled them up raw!!!

Spring-ing

This has (or is going to be) my spring of changes. I started a new job this year, getting house projects done that I've been planning since I moved in (almost 3 years ago) and getting back to planting!
I have, in past years, tried to grow at least my own tomatoes each year but haven't done this since I went to head school. I'm excited to get back to it this year, and try my hand at a few more veggies too! I like to start from scratch with the seeds! So here is the seed box on day 1. I've got regular tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, green beans and summer squash! Can't wait to see if anything works!

Curtains

It's been two and a half years since I bought my house and I FINALLY decided on fabric and made curtains. I'm really happy with the way it all turned out and it feels a lot more "homey" now!!!
