Road Names

Since moving to MD, I've seen some road names that have made me giggle inside.

1. Portia's Delight
2. Tracey's Store Rd.
3. Yeoho Rd.
4. Pretty Boy Dam Road (Sounds like someone tried to cuss and got it all out of order.)

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!

Last year Jason and I bought half of a cow and put in in the freezer (after processing, of course). The meat tastes really good. The only downfall is that the ground beef isn't really that lean. I always drain it and rinse it to get as much fat off of it as possible.

Tonight we are firing up the grill and cooking steaks and ribs. Mmmmmm! It's going to be so good.

Later tonight, Adam and Nicole Hunsicker are going to come over and teach us how to play Texas Hold'em. They couldn't believe we were from Texas and didn't know how to play.

Hiking




I've been hiking twice for the last couple of days. The weather here has been absolutely beautiful. It has been so nice to get outside. Here are a few pictures from our outing.

Antshillvania


Did any of you ever listen to this record as a kid? I used to love it. The story is the story of the Prodigal Son. However, it takes place in Antshillvania (an ant hill). One of the ants named ANTony decides he is going to leave and become famous. Here is the song he sings before he leaves town.

I think it is a really funny song to sing when you find yourself in a conversation about making money or getting rich. Right when everyone in the conversation is convinced they are going to become "rich", I like to sing this song. I'm really weird, I know.

Chase vs. Tag

So the other day in my Spanish 3 class, I was totally made fun of for calling "tag", "chase". My students thought that was the craziest thing. One of the kids in the back of the room said, "So what do you call hide-n-seek?-- "go and find"? I thought this was really funny.

What do you call it? Chase or Tag?

Easter Dinner

I've decided to make Easter dinner for a few people and I'm still trying to figure out what to cook. Any of you have any good ideas? I'm taking suggestions.

What I Love About Jason

1. The way he can "belly-laugh" at a t.v. show or a video even when no one is in the room with him
2. His way of making me realize that things are never as bad as I think they are.
3. His smile
4. The way he cheers for football
5. The way he can move me from my selfishness to gratitude
6. His spontaneity.
7. The way he can actually lie down while sitting in a chair.
8. The way he goes from ride to ride at amusement parks. He practically runs from ride to ride so he can get the most out of his money.
9. His new found love for coupons and getting good deals.
10. The way he loves me and others around him.
