Good Things in 2012 - March

March 1 - Milkshake date with my hubby!  After ED2, we had to do a taste test on the chili for tomorrow's cook-off.  It was fun to enjoy a bowl of chili while we watched TV at 10:30 pm!
March 2 - I left work sick and came home about 2 hours early.  That wasn't good, but my three-hour nap when I got home was great!  It didn't keep me from going to sleep at bed time.  Also, guess who won first place a the office chili cook-off today?  I'll give you one hint, it wasn't me...

March 3 - Lorax breakfast at IHOP!

March 4 - I got to read in the hammock this afternoon and enjoy the beautiful weather!
March 5 - Tonight, I got home in time to take a nice walk with Michael before it got dark.  It is so nice to leave work before it's dark!
March 6 - I finally got to talk to Julia after trading...oh about 15 voicemails and texts/emails to set up a phone date.  She got engaged Friday night, and I couldn't be happier for her.  I love you girl!
March 7 - On the way home from Foundation Group, Michael and I quoted to each other all the passages we have memorized so far in Equipped Disciple.  It is 14 separate passages (18 verses in total).  Michael also quoted some of his "bonus" memory verses to me and did great (another 5 or 6 verses).  It is such a blessing to have a spouse to memorize Scripture with!  I love seeing the passion that Michael has to read his Bible and memorize Scripture, and it definitely encourages me to do that same!
March 8 - Lots of rain today!
March 9 - Tim taught us how to play Hand and Foot Canasta tonight.  So fun!
March 10 - Lazy, lazy rainy day!
March 11 - Today marks the completion of one month of reading my Bible and journaling every single day!
March 12 - Dinner with Jenni at one of my favorite restaurants (Cheddar's!).  I miss getting to see her every day, but really enjoy getting to catch up with her.  Love you Jenni!
March 13 - Volleyball playoff tournament.  We had the first seed in the tournament bracket, but we lost the semi-final game.  This has been a really fun season!
March 14 - Dinner with good friends at Casa Cha Cha.  How is it that I can't even remember the last time I ate Tex Mex before tonight?  It was delicious!
March 15 - Date at the Mavs' game!
March 16 - Tonight, we had dinner at Landon and Jill's house.  It was great to catch up with old friends, and dinner was delicious!  Lucy is so smart, and she will make a great big sister next month when her little sister makes her debut.
March 17 - Great day...we had fun with Mom and Dad in Salado, it was great to celebrate with Jen and Rashaun, and I got to see other family that I haven't seen in a long time!
March 18 - Schoepf's BBQ for lunch, and Canasta with friends at home tonight!
March 19 - Michael accepted a new job today!  He has loved working with the people at UTSW, but he is excited about the challenges that the new job will bring.
March 20 - We had spaghetti for dinner tonight, and we made a salad to go with it, using lettuce picked from our garden.  Nice!  As Stephanie would say, we are "livin' off the land!"
March 21 - Burger King date with Michael to discuss plans for a bigger garden.  :o)
March 22 - I got a big project at work completed today, which means I will be able to take tomorrow off!  I'll have some work to do at home, but it will still be nice not to have to get up early and go to work.
March 23 - We had fun playing with Avery and Allie today!
March 24 - Michael started building a raised bed garden yesterday, and he was able to finish it today so that we could get everything planted.
March 25 - This afternoon, I planted a barrel of strawberries and planted some herbs around the edge of Michael's garden.  It was a gorgeous day to be outside!
March 26 - Michael had the day off, and it was nice to come home after he'd had such a productive day out in the yard and getting odd jobs done around the house.  Thanks for working so hard today, Babe!  We also picked our first two strawberries tonight!!!  They were a little sour, but tasty at the same time.
March 27 - After having more A/C problems, we finally had a cool house tonight.  You don't realize how much you take the A/C for granted until it isn't working!
March 28 - Freebird's!  Delicious every time!
March 29 - When we got home from Bible study tonight, we were excited to see that we have bean sprouts!  They came up much sooner than we expected.  Woo Hoo!!!

March 30 - Today was Michael's last day of work at UTSW medical center.  It was a great job, but he is looking forward to the challenges that he will get at Brandt Engineering.
March 31 - Today was a slow-paced but productive day at home.  I love Saturdays like this!
