GREEN!

I am so happy! I have grass in my backyard. Justin promised that I could get grass this year and has worked really hard to make this happen for me. He dug the sprinkler system (I tired to help one afternoon and let me say OWW! My hands hurt for a week!) He also laid the grass barrier, leveled the ground, raked the rocks out which I've decided our back yard is a gravel pit, helped shovel the fill dirt in etc. I love how it turned out. Isn't it a beautiful thing to see green in the desert?
I need to also add how grateful I am to Brandon Bair for helping so much with our yard. He has done an amazing job with our new stamped concrete, retaining wall, helping shovel in dirt and to top it off the sod company told us they'd drop the sod off today anytime between 5-10am. I have no idea when the sod actually arrived. I slept right through it. Brandon showed up at 5:45am and just started laying it himself. Justin and I finally woke up around 6:30 and he had already laid about half of it himself. Sneaky guy ; )
After it was all in Justin and I sat out on the patio and just looked at it. AWWW..... green, you are a lovely color.

The windows go up AND down!!

My sweet husband decided to try and play mechanic and fix my van's windows that have been stuck down since December and guess what: HE DID IT! I'm a little shocked that it went as easily as it did. (at least from my perspective) Thank you soooo much honey! I love having my windows go up AND down. : )
