don't mess with me when i'm holding tongs and a grill scrubber

Throughout our marriage there have been a few things Andy won't let me do.

1) Grill
and
2) Mow

Doing those things must make him feel like a man because, although I've asked, he still rather me not. I think he thinks I might a) melt the siding of the house and b) mow my initials in the front yard. MPB is swirly and pretty! Anyhow, I'm not sure if the sun has been so hot that he can't think straight or what, but as of this last week, I've officially done both! And I didn't suck at either!

Because I'm such a cheese ball I had Andy take a picture. I swear I'm not as lame as I look in these pictures. We bought pork chops [which we had never cooked before], marinated them and then I grilled them. BEST pork chops ever. Seriously some dang good meat.

Get this...the pork chops were on sale $3.00 for a 4 pack. Then we had green beans and a salad from our garden. Which were FREE. Then the next night we had leftovers. Which equals $1.50/night for dinner for the Bredens. Then we ate a big bowl of dirt with grass on top for dessert and it also was...FREE!

Here I am looking like a cheese ball.
Yes, I'm wearing a scarf in the middle of summer.
No, It didn't catch on fire.
Yes, I'm getting my hair done on Friday.
No, I didn't use the scrubber to flip the chops. Our many attempts at a family picture.
Yes, I know how cute my husband is.
Yes, I know how big my head looks, thanks for reminding me.
