Happy Birthday, Ang!

Lots of work...

So, we have been trying to get our house ready for family coming in October. We finally have a bed in the guest room. We moved our bed up there and bought a new bed for us. We love our new bed, it was the first time mattress shopping. Who knew there are so many different kinds of mattresses.

Jesse's dad brought up his lawn mower and we finally were able to mow down all those weeds that our push mower just wouldn't cut. It's amazing the difference it makes. Our back yard still needs work. We need to get a shed to house all of our tools etc. Right now they are all just in a corner and it looks cluttered.

Next, will eventually come painting the exterior and certain rooms inside too. But all of this is with time. It won't all get done by the time company comes unfortunately. And that bothers me because I'm so Type A that I want stuff done right away.

I just need to be patient. :)

Update

Okay, so I know my blogs are not nearly as exciting as everyone else's and I don't have pictures to share! The newest news is our dog busted a hole in our wood fence and got out. She actually got her head out of her collar. Then it happened two more times (getting her head out of the collar). Since then we have tightened her collar and no more busting through the fence. Phew! By the stories I tell, it doesn't seem she is very well-behaved when in fact, she really is. Her biggest issue is that she does NOT like to be alone. She has some big separation anxiety issues which causes her to want to get out of the yard and come and "find us" or at least find someone to hang out with so she doesn't have to be alone. :0) She's pretty much turned our lives upside down lately in more ways than one. It's like having a kid! LOL.

I love reading everyone's posts, so keep it up! Hopefully I'll get some more pictures posted on mine soon.

The three day weekend felt good. Of course the weekends off always go by fast. I cannot believe it's already September, the months are just flying by, the summer is at an end and we didn't get done what we wanted, like sealing the basement walls and painting the house. There might still be time to do all that...

Kd, our dog started limping a few days ago and it seems to be getting better but we are going to take her into the vet tomorrow to have it looked at.

Nothing else new going on.
