March Madness

For as long as I can remember, March Madness has been a big deal in the Jeffrey household. It is one of my dad's favorite things about the beginning of spring. He even planned his hip repair surgery this year around the tourney so he could watch all the bball games while he is recovering. He is a true sports fan! We always fill out brackets and have a family competition. And even though I don't have much clue about the best teams, their star players or their line-ups, I always look forward to my dad calling to get "my picks" before the start of the madness! (I usually do pretty well in the competition, I must say!). So here's to Duke beating Notre Dame in the final!!

Dessert Plates

Something I have started collecting are what I call dessert plates. I love finding different prints and colors that are fun to use when entertaining and also fabulous for displaying. Here is my collection so far displayed in our kitchen on a plate rack I found at a consignment shop. Excited to fill in the middle rack as I find more!

Cuties

I have found a new love....Cuties! The little clementine oranges. I have eaten about 15 already in the past 3 days! My sister had them in her fridge on Monday...I stumbled upon them at Target on sale on Tuesday ($5 for a 5lb bag-what a deal! Or at least I think it was a steal of a deal-since I have never bought them before, I guess I can't be sure...?) They are small, sweet and easy to eat! Try them...

Rodeo

Jonathan and I went to the rodeo in Ft. Worth a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. We went early and walked around the stock show. I got to see a cattle auction for the first time and it was pretty awesome. Possibly my favorite part of the night! It was so interesting and exciting being there while the auctioneer was calling off the bids so fast and ranchers were bidding on cows and even in some cases bidding to buy just the eggs for breeding purpose (crazy!). Jonathan had to explain to me what was going on during this time. And when we first got in there he told me to be still during the bidding cause we didn't want to end up buying a heifer or their eggs by mistake! I was still...no cows for us.

Birthday celebrations

For my birthday, Jonathan took me to Nana at the Anatole for dinner. We had a great time and enjoyed a wonderful meal. We had a window table and had a great view of downtown Dallas.


Jonathan had flowers waiting for me at our table at the restaurant! What a great surprise it was!!!

The night before we went to dinner with my parents because her birthday is the day before mine. We had a great time together at Chamberlin's.

Year 28...I excited to see what the Lord has in store this year!!
