It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

It has been very gorgeous the past couple of days and we have been enjoying the great outdoors. Zachary and I have been on a few walks and we even went on a bike ride over to my work for a few minutes. I also watched my niece the other day and we spent a good portion of the morning out on the grass and picking flowers. Speaking of flowers, a few nurseries around town sent us some free plant coupons and I went with my mom (she is now a certified master gardner, you know) the other day and got a mixture of plants for my porch and I think that I will plant them tomorrow. I am also looking for a cute porch furniture set so that we can start eating outside and enjoying the weather more. Zachary started his new shift this last week and it is a bit of an adjustment for me. He had been on the same schedule since we have been married which meant that I always had Sat, Sun & Mon evenings all to myself. Now I have Tues, Wed, Thurs & Fri evening to myself which means that I have to go to youth group and Awana by myself and I don't like that much. I am however going to be able to get on a much more consistent workout schedule because my friend and I are going to go in the evenings and I won't feel like I have to be home with Zachary. I met with a trainer last night and all I can say is that I am glad it was free. He didn't tell me much that I didn't already know and he thought he was something. Not sure what that something was but I am sure he did. So hopefully this whole working out thing will be profitable for me and I won't feel like I am wasting our $19 a month. We are enjoying our first Saturday night off together at our friends (the Winkelmans) house. We have a wireless router at their house now so I can play on my computer. Thanks Zachary!! We also got a router for my work and my brother and sister have one as well. Now my mom just needs to get DSL and I will be set to access the world wide web at my convenience. I don't know how I ever got along without without my ibook!!

Feel like you *have* to be home with Zachary. What is that?! You are such a loving wife that you would rather spend your evenings out with a macho trainer than with your husband.

In response to kayla's comment I would like to say that it's not that I feel like I have to stay home. It's the fact that I like to stay home when he is home and now that he is not at that time I won't feel bad being away.

I feel the same way. I like being home with J, but when he is gone, I enjoy doing other stuff.
That's cool that you're gonna start working out, who are you going with? My shin started hurting again, so I won't be able to run. We are probably going to buy bikes so we can ride, too! I lifted weights Friday and I haven't lifted in like 3 weeks so I am totally sore now.
Anyway, have fun with all your internet access.

I'm glad that y'all love your husbands. I wish people would stop thinking that they're something. I hope that you find some good deck furniture.

I think I'm something. Is that so wrong? I just wish I knew what that something that I think I am was. What did I just say? If you understand it, you're something. Unless you don't want to be. I tried to run my computer wireless the other day, but without power, it never booted.
