gardens and golf...

the past week we have had very cold and rainy weather with thunder storms at night. it has finally warmed up a little more these past two days so i was able to get outside to take some good pictures of my veggie garden and the exterior of our house.



we want to purchase a little table and chairs for under the awning, but for now, our little card table and camping chairs will do :) a big thank you to carol for the hanging flower baskets...they add a lot of color.

my veggie garden...i have tomatoes, basil, cilantro, cucumbers, peppers, and squash planted.

this picture was taken when they were first planted. they have grown a ton and are now starting to blossom...i'm hoping to be able to eat some tomatoes from my garden really soon!

aaron and i finally had a day off together yesterday. i had worked a 6 day stretch, so i was ready to have the day off! aaron had planned a date night which consisted of mini golf at a little family fun center in spokane. then dinner at our new Red Lobster, and a movie. the winner of mini golf got to pick the movie. i really wanted to see the new movie "The Proposal," and aaron's pick was "Star Trek." aaron apparently was a "trekky" when he was younger. i on the the other hand have never seen an episode of "Star Trek", so i was not too excited about that. well...aaron pulled out the victory in mini golf (i was leading the entire game, but got behind when aaron had a hole-in-one, and it took me 5 strokes!)

so i reluctantly went to "Star Trek." i have to say, it wasn't that bad, but i would have much rather seen a romantic comedy :)

catching up...

wow...we have not blogged in a while! sorry to all of our loyal blog-followers...we will try to be more on top of it!

so i thought i should post some pictures of the house...as promised :)

the house was built in 1946


signing...signing...signing...

the living room


to the left of the picture where the archway is is our front door and entry. we love the arches in the house that give it so much character.

the hallway...leads to our bedroom, office, bathroom and kitchen. sorry no pictures of our room, office, or bathroom.


our retro kitchen

the hutch was built with the house. we also got a new dining room table which, i am proud to say, we eat at (sometimes) :)



family room in the downstairs finished basement. we have been enjoying our new 7 foot couch...aaron loves that he can lay out on it without his feet hanging off!

guest room...so come visit! we also have one more small room in the basement that will serve as my office/craft/yoga room. i'm still working on unpacking it though :) also not pictured downstairs is a bathroom, huge laundry room, and many closets for storage.

aaron has been diligently working in the yard and garden (with my help), so we will post more pictures of the yard soon. i (megan) planted a small veggie garden in the back, with cucumbers, peppers, butternut squash, basil, tomatoes, and cilantro. i discovered there are chives that the previous owners had already planted so we will enjoy those as well. so far the garden has not produced anything, but i'm being patient and hoping and praying that some veggies pop up soon!

aaron interviewed a couple of weeks ago for a "team captain" leadership position at work...and got the job! he has more responsibilities, is the "go-to" person if a problem comes up, etc. as for me, i have been staying very busy at work with a lot of open positions and shifts to be filled...thanks to many my fellow co-workers who are on maternity leave!
one of my good friend's at work was blessed with her 5th child!

date night :)

beautiful spokane river...with downtown spokane in the background

amongst the craziness of being a homeowner, work, and life in general...aaron and i are planning a 2 week trip to zambia in july. we will be visiting our good friends, the allen's, who have been there for almost two years now. we are so excited! we will try to post some pictures of the yard and garden next week :)
