The Good Soil

Gardening runs in my family....my dad always grew things as we were growing up and my grandparents have kept gardens for as long as I can remember.  I have always wanted to start my own garden and we came across a garden kit at Home Depot that got us very excited about starting our own. 

A couple of weeks ago, Anthony spent the weekend getting everything ready and setting it up.  We planted our seeds hoping that something would grow- since we are both new to this, we weren't expecting anything.  The other morning when we went to water the garden we noticed our squash is already sprouting up!  We are so excited and look forward to planting more in September!!

First Date Night

I won a couple of Diamondback tickets at work...perfect timing for us to go on our first date as husband and wife.  Anthony had just finished his finals the week prior and we had both been exhausted from getting back into our regular work schedule, so we needed a little time out.

We had dinner before the game at Gallo Blanco.  The weather was perfect and the sun was starting to set.  We had a little extra time after dinner, so we decided to enjoy a drink on the roof top.  The only other time Anthony and I had been there, it was night time and the roof top was crowded so we didn't stay long....it was so much more beautiful during the day because you could see all of the downtown buildings.  We will definitely be back!

My boss had told me that the seats for the game were box seats, so we were pretty excited, but to our surprise, they were even better- front row and a little further than the third base.  The guys we sat next to kept telling us that these seats get the most baseballs.  The roof was open and there was a wonderful breeze that was coming through the park.  It was a nice and relaxing evening!
