An Ode to the Joys of Parenthood

Per-go-lahhh




So, we put up a pergola this past week. We are now OFFICIALLY working on making our front yard look nice. My folks came down this past Monday and we started working on it on Tuesday and finished it up on Wednesday. Okay, admittedly my DAD and husband did the majority of the work, it didn't take too much muscle power on my part. It looks really nice, though! I am starting to get pretty excited about it...




And our house still is pretty ghetto. I will post pictures over the next couple of months of "the transformation" and we'll see how pretty we can make it look! Next week we will work on the sprinklers, then the fence. After that we will begin painting the house... we all know how enthusiastic I can get about colors! I think Jeremy has finally learned that it's okay to be a little afraid at first, but that it always seems to turn out kind of pretty in the end. He is finally learning to trust my eclectic sense of color enhancement. Awesome. It should be fun! Oh, and after all that comes the planting, but that probably shouldn't start until the weather cools down. Maybe October.
