More Projects!

I've completed a few more projects and am excited to share them! 

First, I made lemon bars for our book study last night.  I like them, but had never made them before.  They were easy to make and turned out pretty good.  We had a lot leftover, so Brian took the rest to work today and they were all gone!


Today I finished the stocking hat that I was making for myself!  I made one for Brian last winter and decided I should make myself one before it gets too cold this year.  Mine went a lot faster because I have much more time on my hands because I'm not in grad school and working.  :)  Here's the final product!

American Food

Last night was American food night in our apartment.  We had good old burgers and fries.  Nothing too special, except that we got to eat the first lettuce from our "garden"!  Brian wanted lettuce on his burger, so he picked a few leaves of lettuce from our balcony.  Here's some pictures of the lettuce leaves and his burger.

The lettuce leaves ready for eating! (onion was not homegrown)

Our yummy burgers - "chester" and gouda cheeseburgers!

Beautiful Sunsets

We definitely live in a beautiful place!  We've had a few gorgeous sunsets in the last week or so, but I've only been able to capture one with a picture.  Enjoy!

Apartment Updates

We're still in the process of purchasing some things for our apartment, so I thought I'd update you on a few of our more recent purchases and things we've acquired.  Brian also told me I had to update the plant pictures because those are a few weeks old by now and our plants are much bigger!  Enjoy!

We had quite a few comments about our very bright guest bedroom bedding, so we knew we had to change it (I hated it, too!).  A few weekends ago we rode past a bedding place with stuff on sale and found this set for about half off!  There's purple sheets underneath.

This kitchen table came from one of Brian's co-workers who recently got married and had too much furniture for their apartment.  It's nice to have a small table in the kitchen to eat breakfast at.  The aloe plant we bought at the floh markt (flea market/giant garage sale) in FN on Friday night.  Her name is Beatrice.  :)  The clock we bought yesterday and have yet to put our own pictures in.  We hope to hang it on the wall, too.

Here's one set of yellow beans.  They're huge!

My flowers which were basically non-existent in my last picture.

Our lettuce...just about ready to eat!
