Wifely Gardening...

Several months ago, I decided I was going to plant a garden.(Our very first garden together) :) We live in Mendon, with Alan's parents, Roger and Donna McEvoy. :) Lucky for me, Rog is an expert gardener, and gave me lots of tips, and help! :D

I went to Anderson's Seed and Garden in town and grabbed all the things I wanted to plant  in our garden this summer:
My New Love- Yellow Squash
My Typical Summer Favorites- Roma Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Cantaloupe, Watermelon, and Pumpkins!

I'm sure as the years go by, I will plant more varieties of vegetables. For now, this will do. :)

Since Utah weather is never very sure about itself, things like Cantaloupe, Watermelon etc don't generally do very well since the summer season is unfortunately a little too short. So i was told that "Fast Break" Cantaloupe would be my best bet. The Store employee also picked me out some good watermelon too, (Breeds that would need a shorter growing season.)

and the PUMPKINS! I am SO excited for these! i got the brand that holds the record for "World's Largest Pumpkin." Now i don't know how big mine will actually get, (especially since I am NOT an expert gardener), but I'm excited to see!
                                Disclaimer: I have no idea who this kid is. :) But check out the pumpkin!
                                                

                                                     This is how I did it, just starting out:

               I found no reason to spend a lot of money on little cups, when I had all I needed right at home. :)

The little white markers were something I bought at Anderson's, just because I was there anyways, and they were cheap. But next year, I think I will just use popsicle sticks! Why not?
 As for how they look now, I have pictures, coming soon. Hopefully tomorrow. So far, everything is too little to plant outside, except for the PUMPKIN plant, and the yellow squash. :)

Oh hey guys...

SO since our life is way exciting... Let me tell you about it.

Yesterday was obviously V-Day. So i took Alan a bouquet of flowers to his Diesel Mechanics class. But first I bought two pry bars and a punch and chisel set and stuck them in the flowers to make it look kinda cool!

He loved it, but he is probably gettin teased today! Then we left his class(it was basically over by the time I got there) and grabbed lunch at Village Inn. Our friend Mitch works there, so its always nice to go hang out for a bit. Then we came home, I realized that Alan wasn't behind me. (I wasn't driving that fast) I didn't think much of it.Well he came home with a HUGE bouquet of red roses and white carnations from Fonnesbecks.

How beautiful! He ordered them a WHOLE week in advance. I'm sorry but my husband is freakin thoughtful and awesome. Most guys aren't like that.  anyhow...

Alan is currently in school for Diesel Mechanics at BATC. He will be graduating near the end of the summer! Yay! There are two FULL pages of Diesel Mechanic jobs in Utah right now. although they are in the salt lake area...yes, we may have to relocate. but it would only be until there was a job opening here in Logan! This is where we want to live and raise our children. I'm sorry, but Salt Lake? nahhhh.... So there is obviously a need for diesel mechanics around here, that reassures us in this cool economy.

Long time coming, I was diagnosed with ADHD- the combined type, a couple of weeks ago. which means, i am inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive. cool huh? i was diagnosed up at USU. Now I have been put on Adderall, but only 10mg 2x a day to start out with. by the way, Adderall is basically SPEED. if a normal person were to take it, it would make them feel very SPED up, if you will. haha but if you have ADHD and take it, it helps you to concentrate, and get so much done! I love it so far! The first night I was on it, i deep cleaned our bedroom. at 1 a.m. :) Also, it gives me a very suppressed appetite so i have to make myself eat, and i hate that! but a lot of people take it to lose weight, so maybe I will lose a couple, but i'm trying to stay healthy!

Next, this Saturday night is our TWO year anniversary since we met. February 19th. Then two weeks later on March 6th is our 1 year wedding anniversary! I sure love this guy.  That is all for now...
