Do you ever wonder what you were thinking when you look at past photos? I do all the time, this picture was taken during my 5Th grade year in 1992. At the time I loved,loved these shorts and I wore them every chance I could. It never mattered if my shirt matched. As you can see, it had random things painted with fabric paint on it. The back side had a huge stop sign painted on it, I remember getting sarcastic comments from other students but I've always had my own sense of style. Surely I found this pair of shorts at a Saturday morning garage sale. I don't ever remember shopping at a normal department store when I was younger unless it was for shoes. My shoes were Birkenstock knock offs from Payless. I remember begging my mother on her payday (I don't know how I knew when her payday was) to buy them for me. I had on my plastic digital watch that I probably got as my prize from a McDonald's happy meal or a Cereal box. Don't I look like a hot mess? It's fun to look back, I've changed so much.
On June 2nd, I woke up to fresh blueberry muffins, a cheese omelet and toast. I'm happy to say that it's not a rare occasion that my husband cooks for me (he's been cooking a lot during my pregnancy). I'm glad he isn't one of those guys who only know how to whip up pre-made frozen, canned or boxed meals. He is quiet creative in the kitchen.
I had told Derek that there was no need to fret about finding a special present I already had the birthday present that I had been requesting since we first got married; A baby. He remembered that I wanted to plant an herb garden, so he surprised me with this.
Does specifically requesting a herb garden make me seem old? It's funny to think of the birthday gifts I requested in the past.
I planted the seeds right away...
"Faith is like a little seed, if planted it will grow!" (I had to throw that phrase in because we've been singing it so much in Primary lately)
And it is growing! Check out our Basil, I'm so excited for all the Pesto we're going to make with this!
Later in the day we went out to Alderson and picnicked near the river, I would of taken pictures but the heat sapped out all desire. Derek made me Pesto (currently my favorite pasta dish) and stuffed mushrooms. Mmm...Mmm good, I did the foody dance it was so yummy!.
