It’s probably starting to feel like all I do around here is talk about ICE CREAM! Well, for this month, I guess that’s true 🙂 It is National Ice Cream Month, and I have had ice cream EVERY DAY this month. 19 days in a row, and counting!

For tonight, we made a gallon of vanilla ice cream, and about half a gallon of strawberry last night. We’ll be bringing the finished product over to our friends’ house and enjoying that with them (and some other friends) and using the rest of the strawberry “base”? in a little kids hand-crank ice cream maker to make the rest! Should be fun. 🙂

Speaking of fun, I meant to give a little update on how our 10th anniversary of our decision to wed went. It was a nice two day, for the most part. On the 16th, I arranged to take Jen out for a nice lunch, and got her 10 roses in a nice vase for our 10 years. She loves flowers, and we are hardly ever able to get them, so I think that was really special. Cool part was, the flowers arrived at almost the same time as the babysitter! Couldn’t have timed it any better!

Previously I had arranged with some other friends to get a little extended time out for the night of the 17th. We got to spend about four hours eating at Olive Garden, doing a little grocery shopping (WITH NO KIDS), and even stopped by a favorite coffee house on the way back to get our kids. It was a nice end to the two-day celebration.

I think it’s really cool that Jen and I get to be married. I think it’s also cool that we decided to do that in the month of July… NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH! Now every year, we can celebrate that anniversary with one of the best foods ever invented! 🙂

Time to head over to the party. More ice cream!!! 🙂
