A future

I know I'm a slacker. Our life has been busy. BUT that is no excuse. We bought a mini-van. Yep that's right. We joined the masses of all the uncool parents who want function and economy. Dusty is mortified. I really wanted to show you the beauty we found BUT my camera in MIA (I'm blaming Dusty... I would blame the dog BUT our dog really isn't smart enough for that sort of thing).
I thought buying a minivan would appease my purchase spending because of post-Olympic boredom BUT it hasn't. Today alone I've made arrangements to purchase a play-yard, patio stones, retaining wall stones, and a bedroom set. It's true. I am on a roll. I'm loving it (that's because Dusty's not home yet...).
We were having a really difficult time deciding on the direction we were going to go in the next 6 months of renos. Our debate was to
1)buy a trailer
2) landscape
3) completely finish the basement

So clearly we decided that the backyard was the way to go for us. I am really sad about the trailer BUT when we lived in the hat we LOVED our backyard and we used it so much and our yard here needs help. a LOT of help. and you can never go wrong increasing the value of your property, right?

That's what's new. I have spring fever. I just am so excited. I can feel it. It's just around the corner.
