our 2nd anniversary

Hi all.
Tuesday the 26th was our second wedding anniversary. We decided since we're starting to feel like an old married couple at times we should do something fun...and well, young. So, we went to Valley Fair! For those of you who don't know, that's the local amusement park. We went on rides, got sopping wet a couple times, ate some delicious greasy expensive food, and had a blast!
We also discovered that we don't enjoy the same kinds of rides. Bernard likes rides that go forward while Angie likes the big loops, turns and curves. Needless to say, Angie would up with sweaty palms and a quick heartbeat. Poor Bernard had to choke back that fried cheese on a stick a few times while they were on Angie's favorite ride (the teacups!). :0) But, it was so fun!!!

the work continues

the transformation continues! we've nearly got the backyard done - it was under several years worth of brush, broken branches, and a fallen tree. we are also reaping the first fruits of the garden. this weekend we've been painting the outside window trim...pics of that to come soon. Enjoy!
