We're Cool Too!

While looking at friends blogs, Matt said to me last night, "other couples are cooler than us." I asked him why and didnt really get a response. Perhaps it was Brett and Emily's trip to St. Maarten, Bryan and Kristin's trip to Disneyland,or Ben and Rebekah's upcoming baby, but whatever it was, challenged me to prove to him that we are cool too! Unfortunately, this is all I came up with.


Last Sunday we went on a hike up Briones trail and ran into a herd of cows. We got up close and personal, but they made sure to inform us when it was time to leave.

We planted some cucumbers, carrots, cantaloupe, and corn. Apparently we like fruits and veggies that start with "c". As you can see, nothing has sprouted yet. We will keep you updated. We thought about having one of those countdowns on the side of our blog showing the growth of our plants, but realized it was only cool with babies.

There is a huge mound of dirt in our backyard/frontyard (we're not sure what to call it). And it has taken us hours and hours to to attempt to get rid of it. We are hoping that maybe someday we will be able to have guests over for a barbeque and figured the mound of dirt is not only an eyesore but gets in the way.

We bought a new board game. Really, it was the excitement of our week and has already provided us with many hours of enjoyment. (You can call us senior citizens if you want.)

It would be appropriate seeing as how I signed up for an aerobics class thinking I would get a great workout four days a week. I showed up yesterday and was the youngest there by 50 years! Maybe we do live like old people. Disclaimer: Picture is not of actual senior citizens in my class. Disclaimer 2: I will not be going back.

Well, maybe were not that cool this week, but my family is coming to visit for Easter, so hopefully I will have more ammunition to prove to my husband that we're cool too!

Absolutely nothing wrong with living like old people... then again, I'm exhausted if awake after 9pm during the week.

I like that you determine your cool status with cows. That makes it even better. lol
