Not "scoops" anymore

We went to Yakima to see our darling nephew Cohen this weekend. He has been into trucks for pretty much his entire life and has always called them "scoops". When I asked him about his scoops, he quickly corrected me with the actual names of the trucks. "No Aunt Jenny, this is an excavator, that is a backhoe, and that one is a front loader." I was so shocked, and very impressed!

Valentine's Pizza

Since our anniversary is the day before, we don't do anything big for Valentine's Day. We do however, spend the evening together and do something fun. This year we decided to make a pizza (the dough looks weird because we tried to dye it red) and it was so yummy! Paul is always in charge of tossing the dough and placing the toppings (he gets to use his old pizza job expertise) and I am the one who gets to take the first bite! I totally scored in this situation :)

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 2nd anniversary! After a marvelous breakfast at the Maltby Cafe and a relaxing afternoon (mostly digesting our breakfast) we spent the evening at Teatro ZinZanni. What a fabulous show, and a perfect date :)

I feel so lucky to be married to my best friend, every day feels like a new adventure and knowing that we're in it together is comforting and exhilarating.

Running for Love

Another 5K under my belt! Today was the Valentine's Day Dash and unfortunately Paul couldn't join me in this one (he cracked his rib recently) but he was there to cheer me on. His sister Dana joined me and was my cheerleader the whole way - thanks for the support!

My Turn!

I've recently had the opportunity to see another side of flyball - the exciting side! Paul is hurting with a cracked rib so he asked if I could run Savage at practice. I'm going to be honest, the idea of our crazy, intense dog running after me to pull on the rope I'm dangling wasn't my idea of fun. (You see, I'm usually at the other end, safely behind a wooden "contraption" and the dogs have no interest in me.) But guess what? I LOVED IT!! I'm totally hooked and have already started bugging Paul about getting me my own dog to train and run. I do hope Paul feels better soon, but in the mean time, I get to enjoy this crazy game of flyball.

Birthday Blessings

What a perfect birthday! I slept in (8:00 might not seem like "sleeping in" to many of you, but it is to me!), Paul made me an amazing breakfast, took me clothes shopping, and then to a romantic dinner. To top it all off, we went to ICE CREAM! I've been working so hard to lose weight for the last year and a half that can't remember the last time I had ice cream. It was WONDERFUL!! I love being 28!



Then the next evening, my mom hosted a birthday dinner with my favorite meal (her chicken and broccoli dish) and favorite cake (confetti cake!). What a lucky girl I am, happy birthday me!

Not a professional

I recently learned that I will never be a professional bowler. Any hopes and dreams that I ever had of being on the PBA tour (is that what it's called) were crushed when Paul and I went bowling a few weeks ago. I was actually doing really well in the beginning (I scored over 100!)...and then we took the bumpers away. I think I had a high score of 35 with no bumpers - pretty impressive, I know.


We really did have a great time, even though I'm terrible at it it was still really fun!
