Grass, Grass, and more Grass!

Fianlly! After months of trying to get the back yard in order we finally have grass! Well almost. The landscapers are putting in the sod as I write. We are extending the front yard and then I will add some rose bushes and flowers for some color. In the back, we will have a large grass area, a garden, and patio and a fire pit area. The real question is, how big of a garden do I need?

Scrapbooking

Last night I went to my friend Tricia's for a scrapbook party. It was great! Now I have more ideas for the scrapbook I have become obsessed with! I have come to the conclusion that this can become an expenisve hobby, but memories are priceless right?! Clay worked late last night and will work again this afternoon and into the early evening. I was sad but then I realized this means I get to some Jamaica shopping! Lucky me...what girl doesn't look for a good reason to shop. So, I'm off to find some sales!

A strange week!

So for those of you who know... I am not a great "sick" person! This week there has been more "sick" drama in this house you would almost think it was a nursing home. Lets begin with me (of course that's always more fun!) Sunday morning Clay and I both woke up not feeling so hot. I had a great idea to make OJ. So, like most Sunday mornings Clay pulls out the good ole juicer. We made OJ, but upon my request we didn't peel the orange. It is supposedly much better for you that way if you can tolerate the bitterness (my stomach is turning just writing about it!) After drinking about 1/4 of the glass I realized I couldn't handle it. To my dismay I spent the next 24 hours praying that every bit of orange was given to the porcelain God!! Even pedialite couldn't seem to get rid of the orange. Then there was still the original problem that I had a scratchy throat. So after a two day sinus head ache and four days of not being able to breath....I finally feel like a normal human being again. Could this be Fresno allergies?! I bring up allergies because apparently Brittany, my live in sister, has the same allergy symptoms. She was just blessed enough to not be taken down by it. Meanwhile Clays back doesn't likes us! We don't have a clue what is wrong, but it just hurts him. He's up all night, which means I'm up all night. It's been fun!
On the upside, I've had a lot of time to work on my wedding scrapbook. It's getting there, but wow can scrapbook be addictive, not to mention messy!!! Although so far it sure looks good!
Anyways that is my update...I promise the next post will much more uplifting!

So, I've been determined to figure out how to create this blog, and I think I finally got it!
(I won't mention that it only took me half of the day to figure out how to get our picture up in th corner.) Anyways, my wonderful friend Nicole turned me on to this method of communication. I think it works great, and I love hers so I hope everyone enjoys ours as much as I love hers. So welcome to our blog!!! XOXOXO
