Oh lovelies, I am so tired. I’ve been up since 5:45am, and my book and my bed are screaming my name. However, I promised to give you another house update this week, and I will not disappoint! A little while ago I told you all about our jungle backyard and shared with you The Story of the Sodcutter. We started out with this: And a close up of our beautiful “grass”… By the time that was all done and finished, I was pretty much ready to live happily with a backyard full of dirt. Seriously. However, the Hubster had different ideas… On Monday he called a local nursery and ordered…

Hi lovelies, Thanks for all your kind words regarding my post last night. It’s something I’ve been carrying on my chest for a while and it just felt good to vent and be completely honest about the way I’ve been feeling. In general I think I feel a bit at odds with who I am right now. I’m turning 26 in less than a month, and it just feels… weird. Like I’m not actually old enough to be turning 26. Anyway.

Part of youth organization is trying to raise money to purchase a defibrillator for our chapel. The Hubster was involved with the organization of the yard sale, so I decided to go to help out. We had the most perfect day for it… it was beautiful, sunny and warm. And obviously I forgot sunscreen. I have a magnificent t-shirt burn, complete with a neck collar and sleeves. It’s pretty hot, I’m not going to lie. After…

Seven days. I can’t believe it’s been an entire week since my last post. *bows head in shame* In my defense, things have been a little crazy around here. Being homeowners has been a series of adventures. And we all know that adventures make fabulous stories. Tonight, I have a marvelous story for you. It’s called The Story of the Sod Cutter. Once upon a time, a not-so newlywed couple moved into their very first home. They knew the house needed some tender love and care, but they were young and excited and decided they were up for the challenge. As the snows melted and spring crept out from beneath…
