I got an email a few weeks ago about attending this thing called Just Desserts (turns out they only serve desserts at this thing).

Work out for 40 minutes Eat an almost healthy breakfast (Ovaltine is never healthy, haha) Take photographs when I get home Blogging presently Amazing, huh? I think so too. So, we love plants over here, right? Well, our yards are lit up like the Forth of July to keep everything from freezing off. Haha. Enjoy some photos of our silliness!
