Sprouts Part II

Rich and I went up to St Helens for the weekend and when we got back I was so excited to see all the little sprouts that had come up! I had a few sprouts last week and they are getting bigger but now they have been joined by lots more little ones. Hopefully they just keep on coming and soon we will have little colorful flowers!
Here is a picture of the progress in week 3!

The Truth

Here is a video that is similar to the lost generation one. This one is about the Truth though, the truth about God!

Sprouts!

About two weeks ago now I planted some flower seeds in all my flower pots on our patio. I went out to check on them today and look at what I found


There are a few more little sprouts coming up in a few other pots too, but not enough to see in the pictures. I hope that the sun stays out for a while so that we will have lots and lots of flowers!

Lost Generation

The other day Rich saw this video and showed it to me. I thought that it was really interesting so I wanted to share it with you.

3 Flowers and a Potato

Last week it was really nice outside and it was warm too! So I decided it was time to put all of my flower pots to good use. I got three different seed packets and Rich got a potato. I filled my pots with fresh soil and planted away! In a big pot I planted Rich's potato and hopefully we will have something latter this summer! I'm praying it works because that would be pretty neat to just got out on the porch and have potatoes for dinner! In another big pot I planted all three of my flower seeds. I planted some Zinnias, Lavender and Dahlias. I have a medium sized pot that I planted all three kinds of flowers in and then I have 12 little pots that I alternated between Zinnias and Dahlias. I'm so excited to have all my seeds planted and ready for spring! Now my little plants just have to grow. In about 3 weeks there should be some sprouts. . . that's the plan anyway!

Here's my little pots all in a row on our porch.
And the pots just keep going! (and yes, they are all evenly spaced)

Here is the potato. Grow away little potato!

Beach!

A few weekends ago on Sunday, Rich and I came out of church and it was supposed to be a drizzle-y day but it was actually warm and brilliant sunshine! So we both had the urge to go do something outside so we went over to the beach. It was a beautiful day over there and we had a good time. The wind wasn't blowing too bad, but enough that I was a little cold. So here are a few pictures from out little trip!

Standing in front of a waterfall we found

A sign we saw leaning against the rocks...we're guessing it floated in since there was no river around.

Rich decided he was going to roll this log all the way down to the ocean. I don't know why. When he finally got it down there, it got caught up in a wave and was push about half way back to where he started.

Update Time...

So I haven't posted in a while but school has been keeping me really busy. I have a little time now so I thought I would update how things have been going.

Rich is working away as usual. Just recently he hit his 1 year anniversary for work so he was pretty happy for that. People have been asking him about his job in relation to the economy, and he is doing great. The company he works for has no shortages of jobs to do and has quite a few jobs still lined up, so no need to worry there.

I have been going to school and working. I work in the international student office in a specific department called the English Language Institute. It just work at the front desk and do a lot of copying and filing and answering the phones along with odd jobs here and there. I enjoy it though. I also learned that pronouncing Korean names is so much easier than American names... ha ha! School has been going well. I have about a week and a half before the end of the term and I have three finals at the beginning of the week after. Not too bad! That will give me almost 2 weeks for spring break and I can't wait. I am in the process of filling out the application for the interior design program. I am also still taking the classes to get into nursing school. I figure I have time for both of them and at least I will have a plan B this way. I am hoping to get into the interior design program this year and start my classes. At the end of next year I will apply to a nursing school and if I don't get in, then I will already be a year into the interior design program. If I do get into nursing school...well, it's still a ways away so we will just wait and see.

Other then that, not much is going on around here. I will post a few things that we have been doing the past 3 weeks now :)
