Thankful...

...for a wonderful loving husband, great supportive parents and mother-in-law!
Saturday morning I woke up with a mission...finish the right side flower bed. So we got up, had a little cereal and started tearing out the old plants in the flower bed. I was ready for some flowers in the front.

Matt and I worked a couple hours ripping everything out. Then came the hard part - what to put in back in the flower bed.
Here is the picture of the flower bed after tearing out the back layer....



So off to the nurseries - three hours later, five nurseries later we have purchased plants and flowers. We return home and start working.... not even being home for 10 minutes, I come down with a migrane and have to leave Matt working in the yard while I go lay down.

I curl up on the floor - doing everything to get rid of my migrane...finally I feel better. So I head outside to start helping.

Much to my suprise and amazment the flower bed is done! With the help of my parents, mother-in-law, GG - the supervisor, and my wonderful husband (who was missing the Mavs game) they finished my project.
And it turned out amazing! The house looks great now - can't wait to finish the left side. Below is a picture of the finished work....



Thanks for everyone's help! It looks amazing!! Love yall!!

New Furniture

We have been busy putting things up on the wall and looking for furniture...

Our love seat was finally delivered! We also found table & chairs for the breakfast nook - it is starting to come together!!

Here are some pictures....


We also got a new rocker for outside...currently it has been sitting in the breakfast nook b/c of all the rain! As you can see it in the picture.

More to come soon!
