Today Chuck helped me find my inner green thumb by planting a mini-garden in the front yard. Turns out I’m better in the kitchen… Ha… But I’m still happy to find something new we can do together, and enjoy the outdoors while we’re at it. Plus we planted pumpkins, tomatoes, and blueberries in the back! Yum. 🙂

Of course I was bummed to flake on going to see my wonderful DC ladies this weekend, but I had such a great time partying on the beach with lovely new girl friends and my amazing hubby, who surprised me by coming home a whole week early 🙂

This is what happens when your husband is in the field for 3 weeks and has his buddy pick things up from me to bring back to him: your manly stuff gets dolled up. Clearly I’m not afraid to embarrass him… lol 😉

P.S. Don’t worry though, there are some treats in there too. All his friends will actually be jealous…
