My sweet little garden!

I know I haven't posted in ages, but here is a little post about my garden... Since we are renting a house for right now and since it has a really nice yard I chose not to dig up the nice yard, and have planted all my plants in pots! It has worked out great so far and is much easier to keep the weeds down! I planted Romain Lettuce, Tomatoes, Banana Peppers, Yellow Squash, Mint, Rosemary, and Basil!


So at the moment I am having trouble loading pictures on my blog... I will post this for now and promise to get some pics loaded as soon as I can!

What we did this weekend!

This weekend the weather was SOOOO beautiful! I had planned on just working inside the house and Danny had planned on picking up the sticks and branches that had fallen in our yard from the snow and also he thought about maybe painting our mailbox, so it would look nice as I am sure it has looked in former days. Well, when I looked outside and saw Danny picking up sticks in the back yard I got kinda jealous and decided to go outside and help him. We wound up racking/blowing the whole backyard! At the beginning of Fall we raked the whole front yard once the trees had lost all their leaves, but by the time we finished that we were burnt out on raking and never did the back yard... So, it really needed it! It was so nice to be able to work outside again! Our little dog Emmy stayed out there with us the whole time and barked at us and also ran thru the piles of leaves and wanted to play Frisbee and ball the whole time! It was quite funny!


Having fun with the blower! And yes I know I am dressed horribly! I am sure everyone driving by was thinking, Good grief that poor girl doesn't know how to match her clothes! Oh well!


Our playful dog!

She is one determined dog!

We just relaxed for the rest of the weekend after doing this!

I so didn't believe Weather.com!, and my perfect Valentines weekend!

More than once this year Weather.com has promised us that we would get snow... Well, the day snow was forecasted for would usually dawn bright and sunny and WAY to warm for snow, or else it would rain like it was trying to wash GA off the map! But on February 12, 2010 snow finally came to Perry and Weather.com was RIGHT! It started snowing fairly early that morning at my Mom's house in Elko, so I was like " I had better head over there if I want to see any snow, cause I doubt it will make it to my house in Perry!" So, that is what I did! I didn't have any children to keep that day, so I went to Mom's house to relax! When the snow finally started to stick it was so pretty and everything looked so clean and white! Oh, and just for the record, it did snow in Perry too! Here are a few pics of our snow!!!

At the start of the week I was having a rough day and my sweet, precious husband brought me home a beautiful rose to cheer me up!!! It was so pretty and I wanted to take a picture of it with my beautiful rings my husband gave me! So here they are!

Isn't it just Lovely!?


This was just a start to a perfect first Valentines for Danny and I as Newly Weds!

Before heading out to start our Valentines weekend Danny gave me a dozen BEAUTIFUL light pink rosebuds!!! They were soooo precious! We then left the house and headed to Kohls to find some new tennis shoes for both of us! We both found great deals on some really nice shoes! We then went out to dinner... Danny asked me to close my eyes while he drove to our restaurant so he could surprise me! When I opened my eyes we were at my favorite Thai restaurant! I had some very yummy Panang( Thai Curry with chicken) and Danny had Chicken and Steak from the Habatchi! We then went to the Mall to walk around for awhile to let our food settle and then headed over to Cold Stone for some Delicious ice cream!


My Beautiful Roses!!!
On Sunday ( the official Valentines Day) We both opened cards from each other and I gave Danny some new cologne... Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani! I have said for years, since the first time I smelled this AMAZING cologne that someday I would get my husband a bottle of it for Valentines Day! Needless to say Danny smelled WONDERFUL!!!! We went to my parents house, after church, for a nice lunch and some fun fellowship with friends and family... Then later on that evening we went to Danny's parents house to watch TV and Movies! So Our very first Valentines Day weekend was Amazing and Perfect!

Fun in Jacksonville!

It has been way to long since my last post! I have been meaning to post about our day trip to Jacksonville for awhile now... So, here it is!

Danny and I met my best friend Stephanie and her Fiance B J in Jacksonville for a day of fun, fellowship, some yummy food, and pictures! Stephanie and B J braved the cold windy weather for me to take their engagement pictures! My sweet husband, stood out in the cold and mist with us and held all the stuff I wasn't using at the time. We tromped through the woods until we found the perfect spots! It was so much fun! They were so much fun to photograph and as an added treat Stephanie took a few pictures of Danny and I together!

It is so precious to see my best friend so in love! To see how much B J loves her is, *sigh*, so sweet!


Are these two not the sweetest couple?!



Stephanie's beautiful engagement ring! A family heirloom!

Lovely!!!


Me and my Precious Husband!!!

Our wedding rings!

This is so long over due!

Things have been kinda crazy since our wedding day! I don't have many wedding day pictures yet, but I do have our Honeymoon pictures! We went to the wonderful Amelia Island, and had a very relaxing special time together... It was perfect and we couldn't have asked for better weather for the four days we spent there. The food we ate was wonderful, and everything was just beautiful! So enough rambling... Here are some of my favorite pics from Amelia!

Us on our first day on the beach! It was beautiful!We ate at The Happy Tomato for lunch! It was very yummy!

I just love beach pictures!Is this not one of the most beautiful pictures ever! God's creation is Awesome!
It was kind of bright for this picture, but fun all the same!

Danny loves me so much! I feel so safe with his arm around me!
Taking pictures of boats is one of my weaknesses... I have a ton of them!Kissing the love of my life! The Lord blessed me with the most wonderful, kind, caring and gentle husband! He is so much better than I anything I was able to dream up in all my dreams of a husband, before marriage! Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures!

God Bless! Lisa Deal!
