House Update

I figured before I talked about the truly awesome event happening in our life right now, I'd update on our house! We have lived there for a full year now and it is ... home. We can both park in the garage, and plan to keep it that way. We have a nerd den, a guest room, and a nursery. We have a family room. We have a master bedroom and a shower built for two, and we use it most often together. What can I say, I like to save water!

We have projects:

  • I want to pull up the bushes in the front and plant lavender. One day I would like to take out the tree in front and extend the porch so I can have my porch swing.
  • We have a big backyard that is a bit of a hot mess right now. The deck needs to have the nails pounded back in, get sanded, and get stained.
  • There is a rocky path surrounding the cement patio that needs to be dealt with. I think I would like to remove the loose rocks and just lay a smooth path.
  • The grass extending from the cement patio needs to be removed so we can lay concrete for our son to be able to play basketball. :-)
  • The entirety of the wild bushes growing along the fence need to be removed. They are just sad looking.

Ah... plans and projects. Will you ever get started? Doubt it..
