O.K., here I go...

So, I guess it's time to get busy and blog away. I kept saying that I would sit down to do this once the Primary Program was over and now that is behind me, thank goodness, so it's time to get busy. My problem is that I'm convinced our little life is pretty ordinary and there isn't much that's extremely exciting to write about. However, exciting or not, this is a great way to keep track of our lives so I've finally given in!
This weekend has been really great - I finally got a chance to go to the Farmer's Market up at Murray Park and it was so fun! Tons of great fruit and veggies - I was in heaven! Seriously, all of the stuff there looked so beautiful! I know it's stupid to rave about produce, but honestly, if you saw the way fruits and vegetables looked in Venezuela (minus the mangos on the trees) you would be raving, too! Anyway, I bought a bunch of peaches and made a peach pie today for the first time - crust and all! Sooooo great! I should have taken a picture! It even looked beautiful! Too bad peach season is so short!
Last night Jer and I went to his work party which was at the Grand America and it was pretty fun! There was a nice dinner, a really great live band and then they had half of the ballroom outfitted with casino tables that we could play at-not with real money of course-but I was loving that! They gave everyone 250 in chips and then you could trade your chips in at the end of the night for tickets to enter in a big drawing they had for pretty cool stuff. We had to bail before the drawing, but let me just say that playing Black Jack with zero pressure is the way to go! It was a fun night!
