Weekend Trip to the Raptor Center

Late, but here it is. Adam and I went to the Raptor Center this weekend, and got out in nature for the first time together. It was great! I always prefer to be around trees instead of concrete, and it was great to experience it together. Another thing that we have in common is the fact that we both love being outside. I love climbing around on the rocks, hiking and breathing in more fresh air than you can find here in town. We went around and saw the birds first, and then made our way down to the lake and climbed the rocks around the lake. We found some great fossils, but unfortunately I forgot the few that I was going to bring home. (Oh well, I can find even more the next time I go!)

Then, I started to take pictures. So, we made our way back around the cages and down to the bird watching station. Not only did we see some pretty birds, but saw a momma deer and two babies. Deer are such pretty creatures.

Here are some of the pictures that I took while we were there...









Woot! I wanted to post about it earlier, but when I have a serious blog entry in mind, I cannot think about writing any others until I am done mulling over it.

Happily Slacking...

I know, I know..I haven't written for awhile. Not ENTIRELY my fault, my computer has been acting so stupid lately, that I haven't felt like dealing with it any more than I have to. Though never fear, my dear readers... I have been jotting down little notes about every day that passes, so when I do FINALLY get the chance to blog a bit, I won't forget anything.

I was wondering where to start, but then I figured that the first day would be the most logical and best place to pick up where I started just writing in my notebook. Typically, however, I like starting in the middle of things. Then winding around to part of the beginning then meandering through parts of the ending..but I won't make you do that sort of reading tonight.

(Speaking of my dear readers, I seem to have lost some of you over the holiday season. I hope all is well, and you manage to surf through my blog occasionally. Feel free to leave your blog addresses as well, for the rest of us to read!)

Anywho.

Adam came over last night and we watched the 2006 version of 'The Hills Have Eyes'. I love that movie, but like with most horror/gory movies, I can't watch it by myself. I guess I'm girlie in that way! (I cannot even watch any of the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' movies by myself!)

After the movie ended, we decided to pop in 'Along Came Polly', starring Jennifer Aniston and cuddled together tightly throughout the whole thing. That has quickly become one of my favorite things to do: cuddling tightly in his arms! The movie ended around 3:30 in the morning, but we stayed up talking for another hour until we finally fell asleep in mid-conversation.

We woke up around 9, and started getting lost in conversation again right away. After awhile, (and after taking the puppy outside,) we fiddled around with this stupid computer of mine. We were thinking that I could go ahead and re-install windows because I had found the discs I needed to re-install the modem and router. Unfortunately, the windows disc that I have won't work on my desktop, only on my laptop. Grrrrrr....

Adam continually blows me away with how thoughtful and sweet he is! Like today. He noticed that the puppy doesn't like to go outside in the snow drifts, because it makes her paws too cold and she can't walk well out in the yard. So, he shoveled her a 'doggy run' in the yard. It's a medium sized circle that comes right up to two sides of the patio. She absolutely LOVES it! And it blew my mind with his thoughtfulness!

After awhile of being back inside, I fixed lunch for everyone consisting of: pork chops, yams, corn and mixed fruit. It turned out really good! The meat was just right, seeming to melt in my mouth when I ate it. Yummm...

He had plans with some friends this afternoon, so he left shortly after we ate. I must say that I had such a wonderful time with him and loved every minute of it!

I am so lucky to have this kind of man already!!

I got this from a bullitin from cherrytap, and as I read each one, I knew that my man, (the one that makes me complete, my true love) does these all already, and that I am so lucky to have him in my life and that I have his love forever and ever, as he has mine.

Title: A real boyfriend follows these:


- Hug her dont make her hug you .
- Sneak up behind her
- Grab her by the waist
- tell her shes beautiful
- tell her she has amazing eyes
- when your friends walk by say this is my girlfriend
- Say i love you to her face not over the phone or myspace , or Cherrytap ....saying it over the net renders it meaningless
- if shes sad take her in your arms and tell her everything will be okay
- kiss her on the forehead
- when you walk with her walk slowly
- Tickle her even when she says stop
- Dont say i love you Unless you Mean It.
