Crap!

I'm not trying to overshadow the death of Michael or Farrah, or steal Jon and Kate's thunder but I too have suffered a loss. After many months, many dollars and many hours in a salon chair to become blonde again, I am back at square one. I choose not to disclose the details at time, but here I am, a brunette.
I know, I know....I'm still foxy....

Hard Labor

Once we knew we were getting a house, Gary had visions of our back yard with a brick path and a fire pit. He found very inexpensive bricks online (1,000 to be exact, about 5,000 pounds worth). He bought the bricks before we had even moved into our house, so we had to store them at the warehouse at his work. Well, once we moved in, we had to figure out how to transport the bricks from the warehouse to our house. We each have cars, no trucks readily available, so we had to haul bricks day by in the trunks of our cars for two weeks. I thought that was the hard part...stupid me. Gary designed, drafted, and manually labored on this brick path, with about zero to little help from me. I am so proud of him! He measured, and dug, and shoveled and lifted and had so many blisters on his hands each day, but he kept going and going and going. Now it's done and it looks AMAZING! It will look even better with the grass!
