New Bike

I got a new bike! I've been pestering Matt about getting me one for a while now. It is a metallic purple color. Its preeeeety. :)

Ginny Found the Frog

Remember my plant that I was working so hard on to keep it alive?

Well, Ginny destroyed it today. I couldn't figure out WHY she did it... she has been out on the patio with it several times and has never shown any interest in it. I was not happy with her...

After I brought her inside I saw this little guy jump out from behind the rocking chair.

Apparently Ginny found the frog that has been living in the plant. I checked him out and he is fine, so apparently she didn't get him. I guess that was the last we'll be seeing of Mr. Frog unless we get a new plant soon. Even then, he may be traumatized and just find another plant to live in. ;) We'll see!

Blog

I know I haven't been on in a while. It seems to be my pattern to blog regularly for a couple of weeks, then go a really long time without blogging at all! Sorry! Things have been pretty hectic since I started my new job. I have really enjoyed my new job so far. It is going to take longer than I expected to really get into the swing of things, but I think there are some really good opportunities for me there. It is nice being up there with Matt, too. We get to have lunch together and can usually fit in a few games of ping pong during our lunch break. I might add that I was the "Ping Pong Champion of the Week" last week. :) Anyway, as things come up, I promise to blog some! Honestly, there just hasn't been much going on worth blogging about! Don't give up on me! :)

Dairy

We went to a dairy about an hour and a half from Austin. Here are a few pictures from the day!

Jonathan decided that he wanted to drive the golf cart!

Notice Anything?

Renee, Matt's mom, brought me a plant last weekend. Matt started making jokes about how she was killing it by giving it to me... I've only had a couple of plants before and I always forget to water them. I was DETERMINED to keep this one alive and I did NOT forget to water it... but I think I OVER watered it. :( It looks pretty sad. We were out of town this weekend so it didn't get watered at all, but the soil was still pretty moist when I went out to check on it this morning. While I was out there, I noticed that something looked kind of funny... notice anything?

What about now?

Let's look a little closer...

Yep! There is a frog camping out in my plant! He's a cute little guy... :)

Ginny hasn't discovered the frog yet... and hopefully she won't. :)

Locust

Matt was taking the trash out this morning and saw this on the sidewalk. He ran back in looking for the camera and caught a couple of pictures... it was pretty cool!

Furniture

Here are a couple of pictures of our new furniture! Some of them are kind of dark... I haven't installed my photo editing programs on our new computer yet, so you'll just have to take these "as is". :)

This is our love seat, although it is just as long as our couch. It is a LITTLE shorter, but it is still pretty huge. Both sides recline and rock, then there are two cup holders and a little compartment in the middle console. We said over and over and OVER again that when we got new furniture, Ginny would NOT be allowed up on it. We gave in to that on about the 2nd day. We HAVE stuck with the "rules" of when she can be up there though and she has done real well with that. We usually put her bed up on the love seat and she lays on that. Sometimes we will spread a blanket out and she can lay on that... so she still can't lay DIRECTLY on the couch, but we gave in still... :)

She wanted in on the photo shoot of the furniture, I guess... :)

Here is our couch. It reclines on both ends as well.

Just another shot of the love seat...

We have really enjoyed it so far! It is really comfortable. So I know these pictures have been a long time comin, but there ya go! :)
