Week 28 all ready? I had a good old time at the market. I was a bit late since the KUNI 101.7 (Des Moines Based) apparently was not broadcasting. So My normal 6:AM alarm call, was a surprise from Shannon as she told me that I had overslept. I guess I needed the sleep though, after a quick prep, I was out the door and headed out to the market. I got a nice bunch of stuff from the market. Sage chevere with blackberry Jam, eggs, chicken breasts, grass fed ground beef, garlic, new potatoes, onion, young leeks, salad green mix, and a little breakfast of a La Mie ham and swiss croissant. After a few times of feeling a little blah at the market, things are really starting to come in. And perhaps the extra sleep made me less of a grump. Either way I felt (and still feel) pretty good.

The evening of my birthday, I had a large chunk of my family (~20 total including siblings, in-laws, parents, nieces and nephews). It was pretty nice. I still owe this journal a birthday post, but I've been busy. So Anyways:
