Almost Official

Today Dave and I ventured downtown to get our marriage license. First of all we ended up at the wrong courthouse. I didn't know Gainesville had two, I thought after they built the huge courthouse on Main Street that the other one was turned into something else. Well that is not the case, the new courthouse is for the criminals and the old one is the civil courthouse. FYI!! So we filled out all the paperwork and turned in our premarital counseling certificate, for our discount, and we ended up with a marriage license, or at least all of the paperwork to turn in after the wedding to get the official certificate. On the paperwork you have to note how many times you have been married, so Dave asked the Deputy Clerk what was highest number she had seen, her response "9", I think I would definitely give up before then. Anyways I think it is pretty funny that you have to have a license to get married but not to have kids!! Crazy!! Only a week away and we will be official, yay!!

We've got sprouts...

Okra sprouts to be exact. After telling Dave I wanted to become an okra farmer he went out and purchased me seeds and mini potting pods to start the process. We planted them 3 days ago and we already have sprouts. I am very excited and hope I can really produce a crop of okra. So the reason WHY I want to grow okra is so I can pickle it and sell it. Well, maybe not sell it just yet, but at least eat it. As a child I grew up eating my Dad/Stepmother's pickled okra; he grew it, she pickled it. Well since he hasn't grown any in the past few years I have resorted to purchasing it in the grocery store and needless to say it isn't as good!! I had an epiphany a while back and that is were I decided to become an okra farmer and mass produce the world's best pickled okra. If you aren't from the South you probably can't appreciate my love for pickled okra. I will keep you posted on the status of the okra, if I can't keep it alive I always have Dave with his green thumb!!
