My 6th month Anniversary Present

For our 6th month anniversary, Will got me an orchid. I came home from driving Ms. Travis and there it was, just sitting there in all of its beauty! I have been wanting an Orchid for a long time. For the last few months, Lowes has had the most beautiful Orchids and I stare at them everytime I pass by. My mother has them all over her house. She baby's them as though they were her own childern. Throughout her house, she probably has about 25 orchids. She enjoys finding sick ones and bringing them back to health. She has been giving me lots of tips for keeping it healthy. Isn't he sweet :)

Shish kabobs

We tried these the other night. I am going to be honest, Will did all the marinating and grilling. I just stuck everything on the sticks :) But it was SO good I had to show you a picture.

Time with Jeremy Lott

Will left Fort Worth and went to Paducah for a few days. I don't have a huge liking for being alone. So, I decided to visit our good friend Jeremy Lott in Dallas. He had recently moved from Oak Cliff (a smaller section of Dallas) to down town Dallas. He loves it and lives in an incredible loft appartment. He walks to his grocery store and local farmers market. We went to eat at a burger joint named one of the best in the city. Now that I have tried it, I can agree with the claim. Twisted Root Burger was awesome!!

Our Little Visitor

We have started a compost next to our back door. Since the beginning of the garden, we have been composting to create our own fertilizer. Another thing to preface this story would be may experience, understanding and appreciation for wild animals. I simply to do not like the things and would rather stay away from them.  Well, it happens sometimes and it happened to me the other day. Our visitor was visiting right around our compost pile. I went to the compost to toss some lime skins and there he was, glaring up at me was a HUGE possum. Well, since I have never seen a possum up close, I thought he was huge.  Will laughed at me when I ran in the house screaming and crying, sad, I know. Now there are a ton of them everywhere. That's the little visitor, here he is.

Can you see them in the bottom left. By the time we got out to take a picture, the second one had already arrived. They are taking over!!

Duke heads to the Final Four

As all of you should know, Will Rockett loves Duke. Not just loves but him and Clark Canterbury could name the players, their statistics, their dogs name and not just the players from this season. It is kinda a cute obsession. Anyways, Duke played West Virgina last Saturday night for a spot in the national championship game on Monday night.  I hope you all know that yes did indeed beat West Virgina.  In fact, they went on to play Butler for the championship. They barely beat Butler, but sorry Butler, almost doesn't count. Duke is the 2010 national championship. Here are a few pictures of the semi-final game against West Virgina. We were all at Aunt Jans watching it together, the night before Easter. Richard insisted on taking his shirt off with Woo Woo (aka Will) and running around the house celebrating a Duke win!

We love Sams

We were at Sams the other day and guess what we found. We found a 3 pack of FiberOne blueberry muffins for $1.91! WHOA! We were freaking out! We put 10 in our basket and then realized that it make 180 muffins. So we did the responsible thing and put 2 back and only walked out with 8 packages, :)

Then I was in Tom Thumb yesterday and I found this FiberOne Muffin mix. I remind you this is only one package that makes only 6 muffins. Can you see the price?

Emma and Rachel come to the Cowtown

Rachel and Emma came to see me! It was such a fun visit. The purpose of coming was to find a bridesmaid dress for to wear in Rachel's wedding coming up on May 23rd. The other purpose was for Emma to look at more wedding dresses for her to try on. Finding a dress for me was quite difficult. It had to be a gray knee length dress. We looked and looked and finally found a dress after 6 hours of looking and trying on that worked at Ann Taylor Loft. YAY! We quickly went to a bridal shop here close to my house and in less than an hour. Emma had pretty much decided on THE DRESS for her wedding. I must be really picky. She looked great in it! By the next morning she had decided that this dress was the one. She actually payed for it in Shreveport this last weekend!! Over all so great to see them for an extended period of time, we all love each other :)
