Flowers
I love planting flowers in the spring and summer. I'm learning how to mix flowers with different types of ivies and am really enjoying that. I would like to plant flowers in the ground but since we are selling our house didn't want to go that route this year, so I planted everything in flower pots Enjoy!

KitchenAid Mixer
I am now the proud owner of a brand new KitchenAid Mixer!
Back in the day when I was single (a whole 49 days ago at the time of this posting :) ) I dreamed of receiving a KitchenAid mixer as a wedding gift. I had never used once before, but knew they were very nice mixers. Of course, anything would be nicer than my $10 hand-held mixer I've been using for the past 5+ years. When Ross and I started our wedding registries the KitchenAid mixer was one of the very first items I put on the list. They are expensive so I kind of figured we wouldn't receive it, but I had high hopes that we might receive it as a "group gift".
Our wedding showers came and went with no KitchenAid mixer.
Our wedding came and went with no KitchenAid mixer.
Although we received very nice gifts and pretty much everything we wanted we, well I, was a little disappointed that we did not get the mixer. Ross being the wonderful husband that he is said we could use some of our wedding money to purchase the mixer ourselves. He also happens to have a friend who works for an online kitchen supply store and he was able to get us the mixer at a discount. Score for us!
I have used the mixer a couple of times now and absolutely love it! It is just so quick and easy. I just throw the ingredients into the mixer and click it on to whatever speed I need and it mixes. I love it!

Got A Mailbox?
Last Thursday night there was quite the commotion on our quiet little cul-de-sac that resulted in our mailbox being demolished.
Around 9:30 that evening I had a knock on my door. I was a bit scared to open the door, not knowing who would be coming by that late and I was home alone. The scared feeling quickly turned to confussion when I opened the door to find a police officer at my door and an ambulance and fire truck in the cul-de-sac, both with their lights flashing.
The police officer explained that the car in the driveway next to our house rolled down the driveway and hit our brick-encased mailbox, demolishing it. It took me a few minutes to understand what she was saying and when I saw the mailbox I just started laughing. It was just the funniest thing to me! The bricks that once composed our mailbox were laying in a pile in the yard.
The ambulance came to the scene because our neighbor lady, all by herself, tried to stop the car from rolling back. I'm not quite sure how she tried to stop it or why she thought she could, but she ended up going to the ER and came home with bruised ribs.
It's been a week now and our mailbox has still not been fixed so we have to pick up our mail at the Battlefield post office which is about 5 miles away from our house. Hopefully it will get fixed early next week.
I'd have to say, though, the most comical thing about this whole event is that this is the SECOND time our mailbox has been destroyed! Ross said a couple of years ago the same neighbors backed into the mailbox and smashed it. Too funny!
