Flowers on I5

On Monday Joo Lin and I took a trip to Eugene to eat at the Olive Garden. On our way down I got a little adventurous and pulled off the highway to go grab some lily's for my wife. She had no clue why I had randomly pulled off the road. I told her that I wanted to grab some flowers for her and then she lit up. As we were walking down the highway looking for safe passage to the patch of flowers a random car pulled off to see if we need assistance. I went to talk to him and told him that we had just pulled off to get flowers. I was quite surprised to see that someone would pull off and ask. He thought that we had ran out of gas and he just laughed at us when he found out what we were doing. Here are some photos of the event. If you want to go grab your own flowers you can find them located near milepost marker 226.

Happy Birthday Maya

Our friend Maya had her first birthday yesterday. We decided to make her a cake and here it is. We ran out of frosting so we were able to cover the whole cake though.

First Photo!

Here is the first photo from our new camera. It's a picture of me!!

New Camera

We finally decided to buy a new camera. I had won some money from playing Fantasy Baseball last year so we had some extra money burning in our pockets. We had numerous ideas of what we could get but I finally decided to get a camera when I went to Costco and I saw it. It was RED and I realized that this was a sign to get it. Plus they didn't have Rock Band for the PS3. I was going to take a photo of the camera but I thought that it would be easier to grab one of the net.

March Madness = Kelley Madness

The other day I tried to convince my wife to fill out a NCAA 2008 March Madness bracket. At first she didn't want to do it but then I told her that it was a tradition and that she had to do it. She looked at me funny and said "What tradition?" I then informed her that I was being silly like my mother because she always says that things are traditions when I think they otherwise not traditions. Finally Joo Lin laughed and she broke down and filled out a bracket yesterday. I thought that it would be fun to post the results on our blog.

P.S. The overall loser has to make dinner for a week!

March Madness is gone. The games were fun to watch and the wife and I had a nail biter with our bracket challenge. I thought that I had won for a couple of weeks. The funny thing is that I scored my bracket one way and the wife scored hers another way so that added some confusion. I thought that I had our challenge won, the wife only had one Final Four team and she only had one win in the last three days of the tournament. I had the wife make dinner the last two nights in a row. They were great meals too! Then I was cleaning up my office last night and I tried to give her bracket back to her and she said "Can you please find out what my final score was?" I told her I could but that it would be a pain because of the way that she scored it. We fought, no punches were thrown though. I rescored our brackets and the final score was 71-69. The wife had won!!!! :(

I contemplated whether or not I should tell her or if I should add a few points to mine. She had already made two meals and I thought that she would be hysterical at me. I decided that I had to tell her the truth. I went to tell her and she was mad, she started yelling at me...ok...can anyone picture Joo Lin yelling at cute little me? She just laughed...and now I have to make dinner for a week. I wonder what she will have me make?

BABY!!!

This title is a little misleading...Joo Lin and I are not having a baby but my little sister, Klorissa is pregnant!!! How exciting is that??
