i love this picture.

i came across it the other day and it's been on my desktop since.
my sis in the front and me in the back. so cute.

: )

for some reason i've had a terribly hard time getting the post about my anniversary surprise up. i have no idea why. it just doesn't work.


i can't skip over it, though, so i'll just give an extremely abbreviated version: i have the best, most thoughtful husband in the world.

:)

4 years!

back in the game

baylor's lady bears are back in the Big Dance as big 12 conference champs! they've taken the national title before... let's hope they can do it again!

on another note, the men's team lost in the last round and so didn't go on to the ncaa tournament (aka big dance). they are no.3 seed now, though, and have earned the hosting of the first round in the national invitational tournament. we'll take what we can get. it was a great run!

sic 'em!

go bears

my baylor bears basketball team have just beaten no. 1 seed kansas and are headed to the big 12 championships... sic 'em!

steak

one evening last weekend hugh and i were talking about getting dinner together and faith piped up and said that she wanted steak. we already had dinner planned, and steak was not involved ...but she really really wanted steak. she even offered to buy it herself. what!? hugh and i thought this was so random (and funny) that we said, sure. hugh even offered to grill it for her.


so off we go to the meat market, her allowance in tow, fully aware of how much a steak might cost. we get there and she informs me that she has determined her 'budget' as $15 (and you've wondered whether she's like hugh at all). she inspects every kind of steak they have and settles on one, very very pleased with herself (especially since it happened to be less than a pound and so well within her budget). she couldn't stop smiling. even told the lady at the cash register that she was buying her own dinner. (i had to then explain to the funny look that it was her own choice)


she was so happy with herself and her precious steak... that she even proposed buying her own meat from now on! haha!

we love these

so if you ever come across them... buy them. for us. :)

i know this is a random thing to post, but we've been eating these like crazy lately.
and hoping that the boxes magically keep appearing in our cupboard
