Yard Crashers!

Have you ever seen the show yard crashers?  (Alex and I are HGTV junkies, can you tell?)  Well, we kind of did our own version of it while my mom was away.  Without the cool contractor and tv cameras, since we're just not lucky enough to run into someone at Home Depot that wants to help us out.  Here are some before pictures, none of which are really great because I kind of forgot to take them, so this is what the yard looks like at 6am....in February.  HAHA. 






Basically, a lot of dirt and weeds with a little 2 bed garden on the side.

This is what my mom came home to!










The brick extension of the patio will one day hold a spa and they plan to have some patio furniture aside a fire pit where the dirt is near the shed.  There's also 2 fruit trees in that dirt at the end (just planted today!)  It is heavenly to go barefoot in soft lush grass!

Lots of Catch Up to Do!

I know I've been pretty non-existent lately, but I plan on posting some things soon.  We have lots going on right now and so much to say!  For one thing, my LAST day of WORK is TOMORROW (or it will be in 10 minutes)!!!!  Alex is flying to TX next week for a third job interview and I am excited/nervous/sad/scared of moving away.  We'll see how it goes.  I'll try to download my pictures in the next day or so...Keep a look out!
