1 Cent Tomato Plant

So not too much is really going on in my life. At least, nothing really to report. 

Dave is still in Durango and I am still in St. George.

I keep busy by running (I am doing my first Ragnar Trail at the end of this month, yikes!), workout videos, learning the guitar (I am taking it slow, so no performances yet), working, going to church, reading books from the library, and spending countless hours on the internet (I am seriously disgusted with myself with the hours I spend looking at Facebook posts, I have a problem!). 

I have been cooking, and I actually tried a new recipe the other night, that included poached eggs, sauteed spinach and mushrooms. It was delightful and made me feel like I haven't lost my desire to cook. 

Living alone can make you lose your desire to cook, at least for me. 

I need people to feed! I want to share what I make with others. 

So maybe my parents should come down to visit.....right, Mom and Dad???

The other day in the IFA paper I found a coupon to receive a 1 cent tomato plant. I love gardens and fresh tomatoes, even though I don't have a garden area I couldn't pass up a great deal on a plant!

I stopped on the way home and picked up my plant.

It brought some joy in my life, I am looking forward to watching it grow.

I will most likely be trying out the Topsy Turvy again, maybe I will have better luck here than in Lubbock. 

Look at how little it is! 

It amazes me how something so small will grow and produce so much food just off of one plant. 

I am already planning the delicious BLTs I will be eating!

They Say It's Your Birthday

Today is this handsome man's birthday!

Love your face, Dave.

I am very put out that I won't be spending my Husband's birthday celebrations with him. 

Though I am in another state, I am still hoping his birthday is as just as grand.

I'll make you my Mom's cinnamon rolls as your birthday treat when you come visit me, Dear. 

I love you with all my heart.

St. Pattty's Day Weekend

What a great weekend!!

This handsome bearded man came in to town!!!

That alone made my weekend complete. 

I ran in my first 10 K! 

(My legs aren't meant for public display.)

It was put on the newspaper down here in St. George.

The Spectrum 10 K started in Snow Canyon and finished at the city park in Ivins. 

The day I ran was absolutely beautiful!

I finished the race in 1 hour 10 minutes and 47 seconds. 

That was about 20 minutes faster than I had anticipated, and I didn't stop to walk once! I was so so proud of myself.

The past couple weeks there has been family coming and going. Two of Dave's sisters and their families have come down, along with Dave's parents.

My brother and his wife also stopped by to say hello.

We went and checked out the Red Cliffs with them.

Sorry Fro, I got the picture perfectly timed for when your eyes closed. What can I say, I am talented like that.

We loved the view and will definitely be back for some more exploring of the cliffs.

The weekend went by too quickly, Dave returned to Durango the next morning.   

I am ready for him to return permanently, my list of things we need to do in St. George is growing quite long. 

Cosmo is now 7

This little furball had a birthday yesterday! 

I can't believe he is 7, he still looks like a puppy to me. Though I would say he is getting cranky in is old age. Wait, I take that back, Cosmo has always been cranky....cranky and cute looking are a terrible combination.
