Prideful

Michael is finally done with the deck! The only thing we are missing is patio furniture, so if you have any unwanted Target gift cards you can send them our way! :)

I am soo proud of Michael! He has really wanted a deck since we moved in 2 years ago and I just said "Okay honey, whatever you want!" Well I have to say I am blown away at what he did ALL ON HIS OWN!

We put up Tiki Torches with Citronella oil in hopes to keep the 'skeeters away! We lit them just to get the full effect.

A small project occured (well 2, one is a work in progress...stay tuned!) while I was out on the deck friday morning. We have 2 trees that have survived the last year and we wanted to perk them up! So we took yet another trip to Lowe's to pick out some bricking and rocks. I think it looks really good!

Before...
After...


We are ready to break the deck in next Saturday at Michael's 30th Birthday Party!!

Summer is in our sights

I am ready for summer, so I can sit on this....




Talking to Michael about how our lives are about to change and we can sit out on our deck that Michael has put his sweat and hard work into for months, with our precious baby girl.

I am very proud of Michael and how he has seen this project thru, even though it may have cost a little bit more than we budgeted for, but there is nothing better than seeing the pride in your husbands eyes as he sees his hard work paying off!
