Wednesday

Tonight we decided we would hit up the new Sonic in town (they have finally made it to Tacoma) for a Cherry Limeade. However we both wanted tacos from the taco truck on 6th AVE, so we decided to go to Sonic first for Cherry Limeades and tator tots and then go to the taco truck for tacos. Wise, wise decision. We had the best dinner ever!





























This is the taco truck, it's on 6th AVE and Prospect (I think, or at least close). If you live in the area you should go and try their tacos.














Waymond's dinner. Leigh's was similar, but chicken and no jalapenos.














Waymond enjoyed his tacos a lot. You could even say mucho.

Jeny's moving

Sadly our friend Jeny will be moving to California for grad school next week. We hosted a going away party for her. Sadly we slacked on the whole picture taking department. Somehow we did get a picture of the desserts, funny that there weren't many other shots taken!












After everyone left Jeny stayed around for a couple of rounds of Settlers of Catan. We had a great time although we are super sad to see Jeny leave the Pacific NW! We'll have to visit her in the sun sometime soon!

Pandora - One

So, I just splurged a little and upgraded my Pandora to Pandora One. It's $36 a year and I had some birthday money and let me tell you...No adds, no interruptions (other than the normal work ones), no commercials, skip as many as you want...well worth the $36 in birthday money! Well worth it. Just not having all the ads on the side is worth the $36! Since I sit at a desk all day I'll enjoy it all the more!

the Ice cream

The lavender ice cream was amazing! We let the lavender flowers steep in the milk all day in the fridge before making the ice cream. We put the lavender in empty tea bags that are normally used for whole leaf tea so there wouldn't be lavender "floaties" in the milk. It worked like a dream! It flavored the milk without having to have the flowers in the ice cream. Waymond's getting good! Real good!


We bought some Starbucks coffee from the Galapagos Islands (online; we didn't actually go to the Galapagos Islands - too bad we would have a good time). We tried it this morning and it was surprisingly smooth. Not sure what I was expecting, but it was real nice. If you see some at a store near you, pick some up!

Our Weekend

Friday night we celebrated my birthday by having some Indian food before we went to a marriage seminar our church was hosting. The seminar only lasted until 12:30 today so we had 1/2 a Saturday to chill. After watching a few cartoons (yes, cartoons we needed a little veg time) we picked some blackberries from our back yard and alley. I made a pie even though it was a hot day and I really didn't want to turn the oven on.

After the day cooled we did a little gardening. Our tomato plants have loads of GREEN tomatoes! Well, we have a few of our yellow pear tomatoes. According to the weathermen we are going to have some warm weather this next week so I'm hoping our tomatoes will get red!

I am excited about our peppers. I'm looking forward to making some salsa once our tomatoes get going.
















And right now, Waymond's making some lavender ice cream! I'm super excited to give it a try, but it's still going in our maker.

It's Leigh's birthday

Tomorrow is my birthday! Here's a nice photo my aunt sent me along with a birthday wish. Can you tell which one is Leigh. Somehow I don't think I've changed at all over the years. Just gotten taller!

New show

I'm taking some down time this Sunday afternoon and I have just found the tv show Hoarding on TLC. It makes me want to clean my house! :o) I'm not sure I could watch it on a regular basis but super interesting!
