Ready for a Break!

The semester is almost over; three weeks left. Savior of the World opened Tuesday, so hopefully that means Mike and I will get to see each other a little more often. It has been an amazing experience for me, but Mike has had to spend a lot of nights home alone (although he usually just sleeps, so luckly he's not suffering much). Mike's IBC business is doing well, but he will be excited when he doesn't have to sell tacos any more! Graduation is on July 18, then we head to Utah for Lawrence's wedding on the 22nd. We'll come home in time for me to take the Praxis (the test I have to take to become a certified teacher) then we head to Illinois! Wahoo! We are excited for the break.

Picking Asparagus

On Saturday we went on a hunt for asparagus. It was a blast! We found a lot in the ditches of Plano, Egin, and Parker. While on our hunt Mike discovered snake grass for the first time. It was fun watching him pull it apart like a kid. We also saw a few water snakes. Mike tried to get a picture of one, but they were all to fast for him.

If you are unaware of how asparagus grows it grows wild along the ditches. The best place to look for asaparagus is between two ditches that flow along side each other. We found out that some will grow along canals, but not much. We had a lot of fun picking it and will have fun eating it for Sunday dinner.We found more than just aparagus. We found a basketball and a golf ball. Wahoo!!! Annie Olmsted went with us. She braved the ditch (and almost fell in) to get the basket ball.

Mom let us pick some of her secret stash of asparagus. That is real love! :)
