liar and travel

I know I said there would be pictures this week, but well I was a total slacker on our quick trip to MA/NH. I took like two pictures and they were from the car window while I was driving, so they aren't the best. We are back in NC trying to catch up on sleep and prepare for the big trip. We leave Saturday afternoon for two weeks! I have created a travel blog to blog about our trip. I don't know how often I will actually be able to post, but hopefully every other day or two. Of course I might just be so tired at the end of each day that I say forget the whole thing. But hopefully that isn't the case and hopefully I post pretty pictures and document our trip. I won't be posting there until at least Sunday, since there is no internet 35,000 miles above the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I doubt that I will post anything here on this blog until we return. Be listening out in case any ships go down, ours is the Emerald Princess. Matt is especially frightened by all the recent boat sinking that has been happening. Be back in a few weeks!

Here are some random pictures from the past week or so.

Me in the gardens on Saturday, it as quite chilly.

My parents swimming pool before it was redone. Doesn't it look yummy.

Matt's mom and dad in the gardens during their visit this past weekend.

Albert in his new sweater we bought him. Shortly after this picture was taken he laid down on his perch and just tried to roll off (it is about 3 feet to the floor, luckily Matt caught him). He becomes paralyzed when he has anything on him. He forgets that his legs can bend.

One of the last tulips around here. They are all gone for the most part.

I got an email from a friend at UVA the other day with a picture of our lab from 2002 when I started my Masters. It made my day. The other night I ordered a pretty new computer from Lenovo. My laptop is almost 5 years old and really just isn't cutting it anymore for all the picture moving and editing. I tried to convince my parents to buy me a new one, but they didn't seem to be up for that. It was worth a try. Computers are a lot cheaper these days. I got some free candy from the grocery store. It was supposed to be half off because it was Tuesday and Easter was on Sunday, but it rang up full price. So I went to customer service and because it rang up incorrectly it was free! I wish I had gotten a few more with the wrong price. Oh well.

Spring is here

Spring is here. Yesterday I went out and took some pretty flower pictures. Later this week I hope to make it over to the Gardens to see all of the flowers there. Enjoy!
