Let's Update You All on Sam...

CLICK ON A PIC TO ENLARGE IT!!

Yes, this is my blog, and Sam does not read it at all. I could say that he stinks like a baboon or that he chews so loud that the force of the suction he creates sucks in all of the breathing air around him.

Ha! Just in case you didn't know, Sam is working as an account manager at a landscaping company in Madison. We do drive to work together, but it drives me nuts, yet saves on gas. He's been super busy all summer, as the home we have bought together is his first home. He is an extreme perfectionist, which means everything he does gets done right the first time, and there is no slacking on getting things done (yes, I like to slack but it's a little hard with Sam around). Soooo, remember pics of the house before we moved in? Here is the pic from the realtor site just to remind you:


And here are pics of the newly done landscaping, mostly done by Sam with a little help from me once in a while...







And yes, we are working on building a paver patio in the back yard. However, because we are doing it by hand, it is taking forever. Here's what our back yard looked like last week, and let me tell you, it's not any different right now:


And not only has this been Sam's spring and summer commitment all year, but he's also worked on re-tiling our laundry room; repainting the whole house, adding trim to some rooms in the house, building storage shelves in our garage as well as our basement. I think that's about it....maybe.

Ok, that should be enough to keep you satisfied for now. Stay tuned for pics of Sammy flying in the air. He's getting super excited that bow hunting season is coming up and he's trying hard to get this patio done by then so he can have some free time to go hunting. I'm not too worried about it. We can easily finish the patio in the spring. It's not going to do us any good during the winter anyway. Hah!
