Finished!

So I finally finished my homework for this week: http://www.geocities.com/gbldp/fourthweb.html It took me awhile to read through the lessons, but I did get it up! One thing I don't love about this free class is that you have to click through a million pages. For example, you will be reading about font color on a particular page and then it has five different links within the article that you need to read to really understand that particular page. So it is a lot of back and forth, back and forth. I am learning html for free, so I really can't complain! I actually started this homework on Saturday morning, but then have been distracted all weekend by various projects.

My first project was part of a spring cleaning that will play out over several weeks. I'm all about organizing and having things nice and simple. I started with the bathroom, which desparately needed to be cleaned anyway, and I bought some drawer organizers from the dollar store and got everything in its place. You wouldn't think that it would take me that long, but I did clean the whole bathroom and organized part of the linen closet in our hall. The bottom half is for another day - it holds all our games and my crafty things. So I felt like I got a ton accomplished just on Saturday.

Sunday was spent getting our supplies together for our garden boxes. Mat and I are going to be Square Foot Gardeners! I have this book called Square Foot Gardening and it is a fun little book. It is all about getting the most out of a small space garden. I don't know how great it will work, but we're going to find out! We actually built the boxed on Sunday night and finished everything up today. I decided since we were lucky to have some great weather in the 60s that I would take a vacation day! WOOHOO! Today was so busy though! I think my next vacation day needs to be on a beach. :) We went to Costco, two grocery stores, made breakfast for the entire week, made dinner for tonight, mixed up our soil and filled our boxes. THEN we even went to kickboxing. My legs are tired. And I am tired. At least I know I'll sleep great tonight. But before I can do that, I'm going to put a separate post with some pictures from our new boxes!

Ladies, don't be sad that Mustache March is over. There is always next year.

4 Wonderful Years Together

On this day in 2004, Mat and I met for the very first time. We've been together ever since and so we have always celebrated this day as our anniversary. This year is a little different because in almost two weeks, we are creating our official wedding anniversary and we'll have to start all over at the beginning!

I am so thankful that we met that day and that he became a part of my life. I think sometimes I have to pinch myself and remember that it isn't a dream, that he really is that wonderful and special. I never thought that I could have found someone more perfect for me, someone that makes me laugh every single day and makes me feel like I'm priceless in every way. I know some people say that after you've been with someone for awhile, you lose the butterflies and magic from when you first meet. I still count down to when I can see him next and when he'll hug and kiss me. I am the luckiest girl in the world and I can't wait to be Mat's wife.

Here's to our first 4 years together and here's to our next 80 years! Love you Mat!
