Thanks to J&J, Aaron's parents, for the thoughtful basket of goodies!

Various goodies
There's a good chance I missed some things, but you get the idea!
We're so spoiled! Thanks again J&J!!!
We got a pick me up!
Check it out - 2004 Toyota Tacoma (topper and all-ha!)
Aaron found a great deal online and bought the pickup from a telecommunications company.
It is just what we've been looking for. Now we'll be able to haul the Kettle Corn stuff around with ease.
Bonus! I (Laura) don't have to take Aaron to school at 6am, although, I did start to enjoy the "togetherness". But its nice to be able to get up at 7am instead :)
Love to you all!
Hi Friends!
I have so much I want to share with you, but I'm slow at posting!
Here's what is to come...
1. We're going to sell Kettle Corn this summer! My family has been in this concession niche for 15+ years and sell machines all over the world! Lucky for us they are helping us know just what to do to get started.
2. We bought a pickup and this no longer a one car family. It's a 2004 Toyota Tacoma with a topper.
3. Home Community is FANTASTIC! And we're getting ready to MULTIPLY!
4. Fish Fry was a huge success!!! We had 50 people over last night and the homebrew truly was delicious.
5. We booked our plane tickets to go to Seattle this summer. Yay!
6. And I think you should know that mustache March is waaay over! So for those of you who may think Aaron's still walking around the world with that mustache, take heart, he is not :)
7. Easter baskets are coming.....
Love to you all! I'll post pictures very soon!

Mustache March was born out of tradition Aaron & his buddies began in college. You see, as Furry February came to a close they thought there would be no better way to celebrate that than to sport a mustachio for a week or two.
Who knows if any of the original "gang" are still walking around looking half normal/half molester for the first 14 days of March.
You can be sure Aaron will carry on this tradition for as long as he has facial hair. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
Aaron with our friend Robert. We met Robert at Mosaic Community Development. He lives in the Park Avenue Neighborhood, less than a mile from our house, so we give him a ride home every Monday night after dinner. He and Aaron have really hit it off!
I have to say, I was present for the inauguration of the 'stache and it was quite a process.
Truth be told, Aaron had set out for a "trim". Just trimming his beard. A few snips later and his beard trimmer didn't know what hit 'em.
Thus...mustache march had begun!
It took Aaron a little bit to realize his beard was no more. I enjoyed several good, long fits of laughter over the whole situation and in the end we managed to snap a photo after it was all said and done. All smiles here!
Hope you enjoy!

JOIN FACEBOOK GROUP
Last night we had home community at our house.
We are so blessed to have a large group, but that means some peeps end up going upstairs while other stay downstairs. Well...the group that goes upstairs played a little trick on us.
You see, in the loft (the room where the group meets) I have a decorative tray filled with river rocks.
And I went into loft to turn off my computer and such and notice - RIGHT AWAY - no rocks.
THE BED.
I got a huge grin right away as I set off to figure out where in the world the stashed this PILE of rocks...
Under the cushions? No.
In the shower? No.
In the Catch Phrase box? No.
Hm. "Where would I put rocks if I wanted to play an awesome joke..."
THE BED.
I pulled back the cover -- and nothing. Reached out to run my hand over the sheet and --SURE ENOUGH. There were the rocks. All of 'em. Delicately strewn between the sheets from one side of the bed to the other.
I immediatly got on Twitter and updated ("rocks in my bed! very funny!!!!!") knowing that one of the culprits would recieve my update and proceed to inform the rest of the culprits (who were all together at the Upstream) that they had been found out.
The response, and I quote: "all of Upstream just cheered!!!" Thanks guys for a great laugh and for a great night's sleep on new sheets :)
HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!!
