Our House the Home

Our yard is in!!  We are so thrilled!  The house is complete now.  Before I loved living here, but it always felt unfinished since we only had dirt surrounding us.  That is no longer the case.  We have a complete house.  And I get to work in my yard now.  I love yard work.  And no, that is not a sarcastic tone you are reading.  I really do love to work in the yard.  That is what my childhood was.  Pulling weeds, or planting new flowers, mowing, watering flowers and dry spots of the yard.  My parents always had to have a great looking yard, and they were working in it all of the time.  It was something that I logged away, and I am excited to be able to have a great looking yard myself.  AND I get to do so many fun things with it.  Next year I can plant adorable flowers, or more shrubs, maybe another tree or two.  The possibilities are endless.  I am really excited to finish it off.  I also get to look around and find patio furniture that I am in love with so that next year we can have that as well.  Our house is coming together.  It has been a slow process, and we are still not done.  We will eventually have all of the furniture that we need and want for our house.  We will have fun things for the outside as well.  I know that it is a process, but it is a process that I have loved trying to complete.
