That Brings us to Today

March 30th, 2008 by Ellie

Eric and I had a great weekend! On Friday we went on a double date with some friends to see “21.” The Drafthouse, as always, was great and the movie was entertaining enough.

On Saturday, Sarah and I went to the Travis County Democratic Convention as Obama delegates. It was an awesome experience! There were over 10,000 people there (about 9,000 more than last time!) so it was a big confusing mess, but everyone was in great spirits. We did “the wave,” sang “99 bottles of beer on the wall,” and chatted it up with like minded neighbors until the leaders of the convention were ready begin. Sarah and I loved being a part of history and I’m sure we will both become more involved in the future.

Today Eric and I spent some time working in the yard and planting our new vegetable garden. This summer we are hoping to grow several different kinds of tomatoes, peppers, beans, onions, strawberries, watermelon, basil and parsley! We will take pictures as it grows, and you are all welcome to come over when it is time to harvest!

Whew, going forward hopefully we can do a better job of keeping up with the site. I’m guessing 2008 will be an exciting year for us!
