About Me

We got married October 23, 2010 and our sweet baby boy was born July 2, 2012. We have been remodeling our "new" home since January 2010 and I have documented the entire process, and will continue to do so.

Work is slow

Not getting a whole lot done since Craig has been working more due to the good weather (NOT a bad thing) and last weekend shearing started, so the weekend work is going to slow up as well. Here are a few pictures of what has been going on lately.

Josh came over last week and finished the plumbing and also put the new bathtub in.

The bathroom closet re-framed after being torn out with the rest of the room. I think its going to be really big!

Dad came up this week and ran all the wiring for the bathroom. Next step- drywall! I think…?

Now on to outside. TONS of flowers are popping up all over our yard! I’m so excited to see what we all have. So far from what I can see, we have daffodils, tulips, hen and chicks, maybe some lambs ear, one or two rose bushes, mums, and some other things that I cannot identify. I decided that this year I will just kind of “experiment” and see what comes up, and where it comes up, and then next year I will focus on making the yard pretty. We have two small grow boxes for gardening, which I would like to make bigger. However, this summer we will have to see where our sunny spots and shady spots are because there is a big ol pecan tree in the back yard.

Craig ripped the porch of the small shed. I kinda liked it… but I trust that everything will eventually start to look nice once all of the debris is out of the yard and we can start cleaning things up!

Here are the grow boxes. Tiny, yes. Like I said, it will only be for this year.IMG_0107

What a mess…IMG_0116

Can anyone tell me what these purple flowers are?IMG_0114

Can anyone tell me what these are? They are coming up all along the north side of the house.IMG_0118

Well as you can see we also have a lot of work to do outside- most of the flowers coming up are not in beds. I have an extreme Type A personality and need structure!!! So if anyone could give me any gardening advice I would appreciate it. We do gardening as part of my internship, but it is mostly vegetables. Speaking of the internship, only 9 weeks left!!! SINGLE DIGITS! Can’t wait for this phase of my life to be over!

  1. I am totally like you! I need structure too. I think it is amazing how many flowers you have already blooming there. So pretty. Just focus on one task at a time. I love the grow boxes. Maybe you could grow some green beans, peas, onions, peppers, strawberries...etc! I believe the yellow flowers are daffodils. The vibrance of the color is just beautiful. Things will start to come together really soon. Have faith! Congrats on single digits of your internshipt. You deserve it..you have worked hard for a long time.
