What a productive weekend! We got the backyard cleared by removing these old wood posts and steel rods near the area where we will have grass installed. The wood was so rotted that it almost fell apart in your hands when you picked it up, EWWW! We moved the picnic table out and took all the succulent plants that were in the planter out so now it is all ready! We stood there looking at the area and imagined the lawn and I think it may end up being one of my favorite "rooms" in the house! I can't wait for our summer BBQ to show off all the changes we did in a year!

We also had dinner at granma's for my moms birthday. They heard from my brother who had his BIG 30 yesterday. He was having a party for himself and had to leave every hour or so to shovel the walkway. It seems Virginia is getting hit pretty hard with the snow now too. My mom told him about our 90 degree weather and he said he'd rather shovel the snow. I think he's crazy and can't imagine how we are related!

I am looking forward to tomorrow. A good friend from England (Croydon to be exact) is moving here and arriving tomorrow! YAY!

Most of all though, I am looking forward to this weekend and Lake Arrowhead for our anniversary (1 whole year! WOW!!) I sure hope it snows!!!
