What's new?

So the sun is finally shining and it's getting a little bit easier to stay outside and take a walk or a bike ride. Bailey has been covered in mud for the past few weekends and loves every minute of it. Amelia jumped right back to her two wheeler and hasn't looked back since.
I purchased the Twilight DVD yesterday as it was just released and am hosting a Twilight party this evening. I even made Edward cupcakes!

Bill and I are going to have a deck built this summer. Hopefully BEFORE summer so that we can enjoy it throughout the summer. Can't wait.
Bill and I got a sitter this weekend and tried out Sample restaurant downtown. I really like trying new places and this place was neat, but it was a little pricey for what we got. Of course, we bought a gift certificate online at restaurant.com And this is another great place to save tons of money on places to eat. For example, this $25 gift certificate was on sale for $10 and then I had an 80% off coupon code so I paid basically $2 for a $25 gift certificate. Right now there is the coupon code GREEN that will give you 60% off until tomorrow. You could always hunt the web for current coupon codes as well. But as for the restaurant, it was delicious, but the mini bites just left us wanting more. We each ordered a cocktail party with 6 choices and the mini cheese board. Bill even made a joke that he would have to stop at jim's steakout before we made it home (he didn't BTW). But it was nice just to get out.
