We bought a house!


It's a semi-detached. I call it half a house.
Our lovely back yard. This was taken on our first trip to check it out.
Finally, a vegetable garden.
I think I look quite flexible here.
Garden photos, in no particular order. My sister came, we had a great weekend.
Back at the apartment I had started a few seedlings.
Random instertion- our one year anniversary, and the flowers Pete got me.



We closed and got the key on our first wedding anniversary! We'll be moving in by the end of the month, Lord willing. Right now we are waist-deep in renovations. We spend hours upon hours inside Home Depot and Rona... trying to find what we want amongst mind-boggling options. It's hard to pick up one tile and know how it would look all over a room. However, we've made many choices, and the tiles are going in. Last weekend was spent in the garden with my sis and hubby. Ahh... my glorious vegetable garden. It's tantalizing because we still live a good 30-45 min away from it (in traffic), so I only get out there on weekends. But it's not like I need to water. The weather took notice of my poor neglected garden: it's been raining every other day, practically.

In all the business of life, I forgot to check your blog! Wow! An anniversary gift!!! Very nice, and may the Lord bless you both in your new home!!! :-)

Love and miss you!!! BTW, Elizabeth's been showing Maria (who came to Eau Claire @ 1:0am on Sunday morning!!!) pics of everyone. We're planning on being in Addison this Thurs-Mon, and wish you still lived there. Can you two move your new abode like a turtle? Sometime wish I could do that, you know?
