Spring is here and we have succeeded on our first gardening experience. We started three weeks ago by having Weed-Man come over and remove some old shrubs and other ugly landscaping the previous owner left behind. We wanted to start fresh and do our own thing. We bought all our supplies, plants, soil and flowers at the THE PLANT SHED a local greenhouse. There we met Libby, who tutored us and told us all we needed to know about planting a flower garden. So here it is, 30 bags of top soil, 10 bags of manure, 1 bag of hardwood mulch, 3 Forsinthia bushes and 71 white and purple petunias later, our masterpiece.~
A couple years ago Steven got the domain ilovestudents.com for me to use on a school project. I ended up never using it. This semester in one of my classes I was asked to write a Teacher Training Manual (hardcopy), and we had the brilliant idea of making it a Teacher Training Online Resource instead (using the domain name). Its a manual for college ministry lay leaders. I wrote the content and Steven turned it into a beautiful website! Notice the ABOUT section. And YES, I got an A!

A few weeks ago I told Steven that I was craving a slice of Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza, yes you read it right. Imagine a Bacon Cheeseburger and all its ingredients including crunchy little pickles and combine them with a pizza. Back when I was living in Mt. Lake MN, my friend Sue and I would have lunch every week at the Pizza Ranch, yeah I know it’s a sad name, but what can say it was Mountain Lake. So for Valentine’s Day I come home and Steven is making me, miracle of miracles, a Vegan Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza. Pizza crust, pizza sauce, veggie ground beef, veggie cheddar cheese, veggie facon and tiny crunchy pickles tossed on the pizza after it is baked. WOWSERS!
It was a fabulously unexpected and delicious treat, not to mention very thoughtful and romantical.
May I add this feast was accompanied by many other surprises such as Red Roses, Heart Shaped Ballons, Sweet Cards, Teccino and White Cake for desert and lovely Frank Sinatra playing in the background.
Swept off my feet all over again.
To Chef Boyardee Five Stars!
We went to Church on Christmas Eve for the candle lighting service then had Christmas at Mom & Dad’s house with all the Gliebes, Lucy, Bob, Mark and David. It was a lot of fun. 
SudiRoo got me Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, a book light, “Go Fish” cards, a super portable tripod and a flickr Pro account (unlimited photo storage space, etc.). It really is the best way to store, organize and share your photos (has an API too). Sudi got some perfume, all kinds of purses, lots of clothes, boots and a custom CD. Lucy got a bunch of Joyce Meyer tapes and some other goodies. I made two oil paintings for Dan and Mom & Dad. Lucy made us beautiful oil painted aprons and brought the Gliebes some of that fine Mexican chocolate.
Here are our Christmas-time pictures, powered by my new flickr account (which is where we’ll upload all our future photos). Or, visit the actual Christmas 2006 gallery on flickr.
