I'm a big kid now!

It's official...I'm an adult!  I have been very, very busy the past week.  After 2 years of living in my house, I finally decided to step in my yard longer than the 15 seconds it takes me to go from my car to the house.  I got up Sunday, bought a shovel and a rake, and called my sister for assistance! 

                                                                     


My tools :)

She came over and we talked for awhile then headed to Nelson's farm for fruits and veggies.  What just happened?  We came back and realized we needed gloves so we headed to Walmart where I ended up buying a bunch of soil as well.  Three hours later we finally started digging up the front yard and an hour later I was OVER it!  So we came inside, cut up our fruits and veggies, and talked some more.  Needless to say we didn't get very far...BUT sister is a trooper for working all day while pregnant!

The next morning I went to school and was telling my friend/co-worker about our attempt and she said she would be happy to help.  So for the next 3 days she came over and we dug up the entire flower bed out front!




Before - This is after Sister and I tackled it for an hour...so actually this isn't too bad :)

 

After Day 2

 

Day 3 we laid the rocks down and Day 4 we bought plants! During this process by roommate, Jamie, re-screened the back patio and cleared out all the foreign animals (dead/alive) that I had accumulated over the years :)  I don't deal well with bugs, spiders, cob webs, etc.



All ready for rocks!



Added the rocks!
 

I am hoping to get this done tomorrow.  Although EVERYONE makes it a point to tell me...it's never done!  Yeah, I know I have a To Do List...DUH!   Sister has off tomorrow for her doctor's appointment (gender reveal) so I took a half day tomorrow to celebrate/work in the yard!  Actually starting to like this yard work stuff after seeing the fruits of my labor!  I'll post final pictures soon...I know the suspense will kill you this week ;)

On a more fun note I got to hang out with one my good friends from Tampa and his girlfriend Saturday night after work.  Sunday I went to Disney Live in West Palm.   Seven kids vs. four adults and no one got hurt!  I can't believe how many Disney songs I remember verbatim.  I totaly rocked "A Whole New World" and "Under the Sea"!  I wish I had some pictures, but the show was dark and I am rockin' an iPhone 3 until May 26!  #noflash
