Another post with out a title

I have really missed this little blog so I am trying harder to get back to posting more regularly. I have been so busy that I didn't even notice that the post I wrote about Adam's birthday a few weeks ago didn't save so I am sad. I might just post a little something about him even if it is a few weeks late, because I kind of like him A LOT.

We are getting sod tomorrow morning and I am SO SO SO excited we will finally have a complete yard!! We might be poor for a little while because of it, but that is the last big house project for a while until we decide to finish our basement. Making our yard pretty will be a big project but it is one we can do a little at a time.

Young Women's has been taking most of my free time lately, trying to plan Youth Conference and Girl's Camp is a little bit time consuming and stressful. Youth Conference is next week I will let you know how well it all turns out, cross your fingers.

Other than that life is pretty much the same thing as always. I really do miss blogging so hopefully I can get my time better organized so I can get back to posting.

Backyard

Busy, busy, that's where I have been. Now that we finally have had some warmer temps and a few weekends
with out rain we are starting to get our side/back yard in. I have not done a
lot of work yet but Adam has been working his backside off.
We never realized how big our yard was until it was time to put in sprinklers, holy yard! We measured and our backyard is 4200 sq/ft!! It will be so awesome when it is done but right now it is really expensive. Welcome to being a homeowner.
We should be getting the sod put in sometime in the next week or two, I am so excited.
I have been daydreaming about the perfect backyard........

I LOVE this patio set. I am not sure what it is but every time we walk past it at Lowe's I have to stop and sit and look and dream, just ask Adam. It is a little pricey for now it will stay a dream.

I made the mistake of picking up the free magazine at Lowes, can you tell we have been there a lot lately? In that little magazine there were some great ideas like these beautiful cube lights and the best part they had a tutorial on how to make them yourself! You can find that here
I think I might try it.
Then there was this backyard....swoon!! You really need to see the full picture to appreciate it but who wouldn't love to come over for a barbecue to sit here?

This is just a little idea board for my backyard. It probably won't happen until next year but I can dream.

So there you have it my "someday" backyard. I just want a backyard that is comfortable, a place to enjoy our friends and family and some twinkle lights.
