First hike of the season!

** I tried posting this earlier in the week, but blogger was acting weird and wouldn't upload any of my pictures. So this post is about a week late **

This past weekend my husband and I were able to take our first hike of the season! The weather here in Ohio has been really awful this spring, so much rain. Every weekend has been either too cold or raining. This past weekend the sun was out and it was so warm outside! We decided to take advantage of it!

The park we went to is actually the same park we were married in, 5 years ago. I wanted to get a picture of the stone shelter, but someone was having a birthday party in it so I couldn't. :(

We also managed a first picnic in before our hike. Almond/peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fruit salad and chips!

A bridge we crossed on our hike. 

We have had a lot of rain here lately, so the water falls were going pretty well! 

A little friend we found along the way. 

So glad summer is finally here!

Project Organization

This past week, right before Christmas, I finally talked my husband into organizing the basement with me. We have been putting this off for a long time, well a couple months. I did have it all nice and organized at one point, then we had the basement re-sealed so we had to move everything to the middle so they could jack-hammer around the perimeter. So everything has been sitting in the middle of the basement since then, like this...

I brought a radio player down with Christmas music and we got to work! David took care of the camping equipment and his tools, I organized all my decorating things and the books. We both had school books from when we were in college. We decided to only keep the ones from our majors and got rid of  sell the rest on ebay. So after about 4 hours of huffing and puffing, we finally finished!

The mattresses in the middle are going to be donated to our churches disaster relief program and there is a huge pile of trash that is hiding in one of the rooms off to the left in the first picture. There is also a little pile that is going to be donated to Good Will.

My next organization projects: 
The upstairs closets
The kitchen cupboards
The linen closets
The bookcases in the dining room

Hopefully a lot of this will get done this week since I am off work. I plan on working on the kitchen and bookcases hopefully today. My head will feel so much clearer after this is all done!

Now to get off of here and get to work; I think hubby is cooking me a yummy breakfast too! :)

Flower Surprise!

My hubby is so sly! :P I came home from work today right as he had gotten home. He kissed me hello and went to close the gait to our driveway. As he was walking away he says "Someone sent you pro-flowers, I don't know who, the box is on the table." And naive little me believed that he didn't know who it was! So I run inside and open to box and head straight for the note that is usually attached; it said nothing!! So how am I suppose to find out who sent this?! He came inside and so I told him there was no note, then it hit me! It must have been him, duh! So I said, "Did you send me these flowers?" He didn't answer, but he tends to have this little smirk, which is too cute when he surprises me! So it was him!! And they are beautiful! Such a schemer he is, but a keeper!!

Love you dearest!!
