Mark's Success

Mark finally had success with his seedlings. All of the above pictures he started from seeds in the garage. Both are a type of trellising plant and we know that they blue ones are Morning Glories.

Backyard Flowers

Sledding in Minnesota!

During our Christmas break, we spent 6 days with Mark's family in Minnesota.

I finally got to see some snow!!

We went sledding twice, the first day left me with bruises up and down my body because of the icy hill at Mark's grandma's house. The second day was a lot better (at Mark's parent's house) and I had a lot of fun! The pictures are from the second day we went and as you can tell from the first picture we crashed quite a bit, but we eventually made it down the hill a few times.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

The date is set...

We're Engaged!!!

I just wanted everyone to know that Mark proposed yesterday, September 29th, under the Century Tree at Texas A&M. I thought we were just going to the game and tailgating, but he had other plans. First of all, he had me wake up at 6:00am to make it to College Station to tailgate and I really didn't want to get there that early. I almost stayed home. Then we were walking across campus and we came upon the Century Tree. I was like, oh let's walk under it. I had no idea that is exactly where he wanted to go. When we got under the tree I saw some rose petals and said, Oh look someone must have proposed last night. Then he said, I don't have rose petals, but I do have this and he pulled out the ring!!! I was surprised!! He then got on one knee and proposed!! And of course I said YES!!

He supposedly has been planning this for months and everyone knew, but me. It was a complete surprise. Mark your calendars for a June wedding!! WHOOP!! (The Aggies won too!!)

Western Days

In mid-August we made another trip to Minnesota for Mark's 10 year high school class reunion. We also got to participated in Westen Days. As the pictures show, the Super Slide was our favorite ride.

Mark's Attempt @ Water Sking

Here are pictures of Mark's attempts at water sking at the lake this summer.
