I love spring...minus the wasps

It's supposed to storm again today.  I love storms, although ours never turn out to be much.  We have a tornado watch about once a week.  I'm always leery of hail, but Nick thinks I'm being silly.  I try to tell him about the softball-size hail we had in '98, but he doesn't believe me.  I wasn't here, so I don't have pictures.  But I do have pictures of our house and vehicles.  I think that's probably (hopefully) going to be a once in a lifetime thing though.  Hope so, since I can't fit my car in the garage anymore.  But as long as the mower stays dry, right?

I enjoyed the long weekend, even though we were kind of busy.  We bought some things for our landscaping, and Nick planted most of it yesterday.  We got 2 trees this year also.  In a few weeks, I'll probably buy a couple of hibiscus trees, but other than that, I think we're finished.  He also made some space in the backyard for a small garden, and we have some vegetables to grow.  We had a few tomatoes last year, but this year we'll have lots (hopefully), plus some green beans, squash, zucchini, and I'm not sure what else.  We ended up getting our plants and trees at a nursery in Alvaton and the farmer's market.  It was a lot cheaper than Lowe's or Home Depot...and also, their selection was not too great.  Since we were in Alvaton, I got to eat at Split Tree BBQ.  Nick had never been there, and we never eat bbq (except Moonlite).  It was good!  Since we went to the farmer's market Saturday, I got some vegetables and grilled them with our chicken Saturday night.  I made potato salad too...we had a good dinner.  I love cooking.  Well actually, I mostly love eating a home-cooked meal.  Not the cooking itself.

I talked Nick into buying an iPhone.  He's had his Treo since we got married, and he complains about it a lot.  Also, I hate it.  He doesn't use any of the features, which seem hard to navigate.  He had originally intended to look mainly at the Blackberries, but the one he liked cost more than the iPhone and did less.  I'll miss my Blackberry, but only because of the email.  And I won't have a need for that much longer.  So today we're going to open our own account with AT&T.  It's the last thing that our parents still pay for, and it's not going to be cheap.  But I'm glad he has a phone now that can do more.  I want to be able to send him pics and video of Emma when we're at home and he's working.  Also, he keeps talking about wanting an iPod (for all the traveling he does obviously), so now he has one.  I'm excited about having someone I know on Twitter!

This is week 34.  Which means I only have 3 more weeks until 37.  Not that Emma couldn't come before then, but at 37 weeks, they won't try to stop her.  My bag is almost packed, but Nick thinks I'm nuts.  His bag is empty.  Even though he was 6 weeks premature...which would be this week.  I'll be glad to have my ankles back.  My feet are so swollen.  My fingers are too, although I can fit my wedding ring on again.  I keep waking up in the middle of the night with my hands asleep.  It's a weird feeling.
