Tulips

So I was at Costco on Monday and I noticed that they had something called Long Life Tulips that are made to grow inside. I was really excited, because since I don't currently have any place to plant flowers, and everywhere I look is covered with snow it might be fun to have a piece of early spring. So I bought them hoping that maybe this time I can keep them alive. I currently have them sitting on my desk at work, but once we move I will take them home and put them on a table somewhere, if they are still alive. I just thought I would post a picture of how fast they are growing. When I bought them on Monday they were simply bulbs floating in water, now they are several inches tall. At this rate they should be in full bloom in a few weeks!






This is what mine look like now, after three days

This is what they are supposed to look like in 28 - 36 days:

Crazy Snow!

So for those of you who no longer reside in Utah, today is one day when I am jealous. We have been hearing rumors of a big snow storm that is supposed to visit us anyday, and today it came. Wow, its crazy!! I was almost blown over just walking from my office to the car for lunch. All in all I guess it is a good thing so we can have some moisture this summer, but it is still really annoying for those of us who have to commute to work.

Just a side note, only 46 days until we get to move into our new place. I can hardly wait, once we get a better camera I will have to post pictures. :)

Lets try this out...

So, I was noticing today that I often check the blogs of friends of ours that have moved away, so I know all about what is going on in their lives, but I am really bad at keeping people updated about our lives... So, to attempt to remedy that problem I have decided to try this blog idea. I warn you that our lives aren't super exciting, but I will do my best :)
