Lisa and Michael

Lisa and I are off to Ouray, Colorado for the next few days to celebrate our 1st anniversary. It’s been exactly one year since we last went. Oh, and the pups are going, too. This will be the first real road trip for Bailout, and we’re going to try and get off-road as much as possible. More than anything, this trip will give us a chance to relax. I don’t know about Lisa, but I really need a break right now, and this trip will be a nice warm-up before the big September extravaganza!

What a fast year it has been too. I believe it has been fast for me because I am very happy. Lot’s of changes have happened this past year and I anticipate many changes in the next, but all good just like the first year. I love you Michael, thanks for being my best friend/husband. Happy first year anniversary.

It’s already been a year?! Happy 1st anniversary, baby, it has been a truly wonderful year, I am looking forward to the next 50, and then some.

I love you so much!

Now this is a large radish!

Puppy hates baths, but man, he’ll whine like mad if you don’t point the hose at him.

Embarrassing, really.

Having a good time at Lowe’s.

Lisa at Discount Tire today, a one-in-a-million shot. Yep, that really is toilet paper stuck in pants.

I created a Twitter account for our blog, our username is @lmza. You can see our most recent “tweets” over there in the sidebar.

I’m still not sure what to make of Twitter, it seems like a fancy way of letting the whole world see your personal text messages. On the other hand, it’ll be a really nice way to post quick Lisa and Michael updates when we’re too lazy to create a new posting or busy traveling and sightseeing to do so. It is kinda handy just texting in updates, a bit quicker than posting a blog entry via the Blackberry.

(We should be using Twitter a lot during our super secret September vacation… the vacation so secret, Lisa still hasn’t figured out where we’re going!)

We’re back from Orlando and we had a blast! The conference was good and Lisa really enjoyed her time at the resort, even if she did get a good burn on Tuesday. We enjoyed some great seafood and had an incredible time at Islands of Adventure and tons of success at the outlet malls. We did so much in just 5 days.

Plus, Saturday we planted the garden. Man, was that a lot of work, but so far, everything is looking good. Now, if we can just keep the dogs out of there! We’ve planted a variety of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and herbs.  We should be enjoying our harvest end of July, first of August.

Finally, Darrell, a Cardinals fan, made the mistake of leaving his Jeep at the house today:

I know Michael has been working/learning, but I have sure enjoyed relaxing, shopping, sleeping late, making friends with the other spouses while laying by the pool and of course sipping cocktails the whole time. You can’t get much better than this! I do worry that Oscar may be in charge at home, but we will have to deal with that later I suppose. I will continue to rest it up on this trip because it seems that we are always working on a house project back home. The day after we get home from Orlando, we will be going to a plant show to pick our plants for our very first garden. Then once the roots are good, we hope to paint the house to go with the garage door. All this and work full time too! Already a busy summer ahead.
