It's On

As I posted previously, I said, "...if all goes as planned..." Everything is going as planned so far! In my hot little hand is the copy of "Herman Who" that just arrived today! I knew it was going to get here in time. Really!

















Whew.

Tiptoe (Well...Slog Really) Through the Tulips

We went to Woodland (NOT WoodBURN) on a cold, wet Monday to go to the Woodland Tulip Festival. It's held at a place called Holland America Bulb Farm. Cool place!








I'm discovering something of a penchant for tulips that is similar to the one I have for roses. They have all kinds of different hybrids with different shapes and colors. The tulip I was after was the one patented just a few years ago by this very farm. It's called the "Woodland" tulip (go figure). We also found another one that Andrea especially appreciated called "Lip Gloss". We bought a couple of pots of the Woodlands and then ordered some bulbs of the the Lip Gloss (They're the bright pink ones in the forground). Tulips are not very expensive so it's hard not to go to town buying them.


















After the farm we spent some time visiting with my Grandma Knight who works for the Chamber of Commerce there in town. Then we wound our way through Vancouver looking for barber shops and book stores before finally heading home.

This weekend, we'll be hosting the gang from Mosaic. If all goes as planned, we'll all get a condensed, 16 week masters class on hermeneutics. All in 75 minutes! So if you like drinking from a fire hydrant, please join us this Saturday evening.

And the Count Begins

1 year and counting! Marriage is an interesting life change. It seems like so much longer, but in a good way. Really. I mean that. Stop laughing. It's a good thing! Really!

Never mind. We went to Lincoln City for our anniversary. Our friend Inger - who happens to be the person who set us up - let us stay at their beach house there. We had a great time. We woke up to snow on the ground on Sunday morning! Didn't get too many pictures though. I did take a few of the sunset that evening.






We bought some more roses last weekend, so the count is now up to six plants! The deck is going to smell great this summer! (I know it will because I only bought fragrant varieties. Oh, yea, I'll have a very happy wife too ;).

Andrea had another ultrasound on Monday, and the baby is still a boy and still healthy. Other than that, there's not much to report.
