Pucker Up, Sweetie!!!

Well, nothing too terribly exciting has been going on with us over the past couple of days. We were heathens for Easter since we're still just not ready to try another church out here....we may never be. That aside, we have been busy.

MeLissa put together her Ikea purchase this past weekend and stocked it full of craft, quilting and other goodies. The guest room looks so much more organized. She also completed the first of a series of courses to attain the status of Professional Bridal Consultant through the Association of Bridal Consultants. Finally, she finished her "mock" website for Winsome Events. It's listed on Google if you're curious, but it's nothing too exciting since MeLissa basically just wanted to have a place to see where the text she'd written would best fit. It's pretty good stuff, we've heard. She's getting close to finding the right web and logo designer and should have an official site soon!

Mark has been busy with classes and shadowing current clinic interns at his chiropractic college. MeLissa loves that he's shaving almost every day and dressing up in professional clothes (business casual suits Mark to a T).

And that brings us to our amusing story of the day which involves Mark and Kumquats -those little baby orange lookin' things. At the grocery store, this past weekend, dear Mark discovered them and was intrigued. MeLissa, who was familiar with the Kumquat, cautioned that she didn't really care for them...and didn't think he'd like them much either, but he just *had* to try them. So, we brought the little cuties (for they are cute even if they taste awful) home and this morning, Mark gave them a sample. If we had only taped his reaction...we don't think he'll be purchasing kumquats again. He was puckering and looking as he would say in pigeon all "fa faced." It was pretty amusing. The moral of this story is...cute fruits and vegetables don't necessarily taste good.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

P.S. Today is Uncle Max's birthday so here's a Happy Day wish to him. Is it a coincidence that his birthday falls on the anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake? We don't think so. He's a sweetie! Please keep us all in your prayers regarding those earth shakes. They scare MeLissa silly and she'd like to get out of California before the next big one hits!
