Projects

I decided to use a Target gift card I got for my birthday to decorate the downstairs bathroom. Any decorating I am involved in usually takes at least half a dozen purchases and returns, a bunch of questioning as to whether or not I really like it, and then I usually get sick of it before the project is done. I can't tell you how many bedding sets I have bought since we have been married. Sorry Jeff, I love you. It is just not my thing- usually. But the bathroom turned out to be a different story! I only added a few little things, but I am so happy with it. Maybe it's silly, but it is a little joy of mine and it makes me grin when Jeff says things to me like "that is one staged bathroom" or "you did a really great job Lindsey."

Another recent project was that of the backyard. Before we knew it we found ourselves in the middle of September thinking we better get on it. Uncle Bill came over with his truck one day and off the guys went to rent a tiller from Home Depot. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Jeff working that thing! He had a blast and even said later, "well, if the lawn doesn't turn out good this year, we'll just rent a tiller again and do it over." While I was at work one day Joanne and Mick came over and worked like crazy with Jeff picking up rocks, raking, and laying seed. And now look- we have grass!

It grew quite a bit before getting too cold. With a little more TLC in the spring it should be good to go! On to our next project!...
