Summertime is officially Here!



My strawberry sprouts (look very closely)



Jazmin: It has been awhile since we have posted on our blog. Yes! The Carter's have done what I kind of suspected would happen....we fell off the blog wagon! =) I am sure many of you can understand that life's daily tasks seem to occupy a lot of the day...mainly my JOB! =) After I get home from work...I am usually tired, and then I have to come home and do my part of the housework (yes! D and I share the household duties) but that usually leaves little time to work on a blog...but I hope that we will do better. =)


Summertime has arrived! And I can definitely feel the heat! One morning for breakfast I had cereal, juice, and a popsicle. =) I kind of formed a little summertime ritual of actually having a popsicle before bed (Yum!)


I FINALLY got around to planting my strawberry seeds. Demetrius was lauging at me because I am sooo proud of my little sprouts. You would think I have strawberries, but just to see those little sprouts bring joy to my heart because I know that the are eventually going to be a delectable treat! Also I know if they do actually grow then I can definitely make an attempt for my organic vegatable garden!


Some of you may know that I will be 30 this year (yikes!)...I didn't originally have a "before I turn 30 I want to do this" moment, but I actually have come up with one =) " Before I turn 30, I would like to learn how to swim!" Yes! I do not know how to swim. Why? Because it has always been about my hair...don't get me wrong I am by no means vain...I just have not had much luck with swimming and my hair. I did the swim/wash hair everyday during the summer...well the washing everyday dried my hair out and then my hair broke off, therefore I had to get it cut...so I have not really been to keen on the idea of putting my hair through that again. Now I have my hair cut...so I think I will go ahead and do it now and if my hair breaks off...there won't be too much to cut off! So I( along w/ my hubby) will be taking swimming lessons at the end of this month. I will keep you posted! (Demetrius knows how to swim but he is just taking the class for moral support---isn't he SWEET!)


Until then...enjoy the summer and be thankful for the small things! ( I am learning that everyday!)
