Oliver

Oliver is the name of our new baby chicken. I found him running across our front porch last Thursday morning. I thought all chicks were yellow, but apparently not. The people at Tractor Supply said that it was a 'fancy' type of chicken...whatever that means. Yes, he's very cute in pictures but he cries constantly if David and I aren't holding him or playing with him. As you can see, he's pretty curious as well.





David and I are leaving for Yellowstone this Sunday. I still have no idea where Oliver will be going until we get back.... :(

Yepez Vinyards

David and I discovered a winery about 7 minutes from our house last Thursday. It's a very small vinyard, but their wine was very good and quite reasonable. They have a live band playing there every Thursday evening so we met some of our friends there for dinner. You are allowed to bring in outside food AND they were serving WONDERFUL desserts there as well. :) It was so peaceful to sit outside with beautiful surroundings like that.

We also got a new fish. Our other pleco jumped out of his tank last week! I had no idea they even did that.... so this is Wardley (like the fish food, lol). David said he picked the smallest one he could find at the store.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! :)

Well, actually his birthday was yesterday.... I had a surprise party for him last Saturday. I really believe that he had no idea about what was going on. Thank you to everyone who joined us. You helped to make the party even better and it meant a lot to David to have you at our house. I hope you all had a wonderful time (or at least got a good laugh during David's game!)... I certainly did.



Also, earlier last week David and I installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom. I know what you're thinking, "What's so great about that?", right? Well I was amazed by it because of the remote. Normally I would think that a remote for a ceiling fan was kind of pointless unless you have 20+ ft ceilings. Ours are only 10 BUT our bedroom isn't pre-wired for a fan. Then I discovered that the remote has a thermostat that will adjust the speed of the fan based on your set temp. I'm sure this is not a new invention in any way, but I have never seen that before and so I think it's great. These are the things you get excited for after you get married! LOL-I love it.
