We got some things accomplished this weekend, well Saturday really. Dale worked on a new pantry cabinet for the kitchen. It is in place but it still needs paint and doors. It is 8 feet tall, 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. I am so excited to fill it up! I will post some before and after pics later.
Andy and I worked out in the yard on Saturday and I made a big discovery. I absolutely hate yard work. I remember thinking this as a young girl, but I thought I had grown past it. I feel like I have put sooooo much time into my yard this year and it still doesn't look great by any means. I feel judged by our immaculate neighbors who tell me to my face that it would be no big deal to get our yard looking great, we just need to bring in a CAT. That's all, just dig up our entire yard, oh and build a retaining wall, but definitely get rid of all the horrible white rock. By the way, he told me all of this the first time I met the him! Ya, I really hate yard work at this point, but we did make a little head way. We freshened up the bark in our little side yard and put a brick path through it just across from the brick path in the rocks. Again, maybe I'll post pictures later.
One thing that feels awesome through all of this is that we own our house. I can't get used to the feeling and it surprises me sometimes. Oh yeah, I can paint that wall if I want to. It feels great.
We had a good meeting yesterday and Bro Joe and Sis Kortney came home with us. It is strange here as opposed to Olympia, because it feels like we have so much more time on Sundays. Church starts at 10 and we are usually out by12 or 12:30. We live 5 minutes from church so we are normally home by 1, eating by 1:30. Yesterday was a little shorter meeting so we were home even earlier. Joe and kort stayed until about 5. We had a great visit with them and felt it was a good Sunday. At 5 in Olympia I felt that my time with the brethren was just starting.
I hope everyone else had a good weekend.

2 I love comments!!:
What a rude neighbor...I hate yard work too. Sounds like you are getting quite a bit of stuff done, good for you guys!
I hope that I get to see this house before you are off to someplace else! I replied to your comment on my blog thru text, but not sure if you have your phone right there or anything. I have noticed that a lot of times you don't seem to. Lol. Sounds like you guys have been doing a lot, I do like yard work if it is in our own yard... Or even like I volunteered to help our neighbor with her yard once, and it was fun, I think if I am volunteering for someone I know, or working to make our own yard nicer then it is fun to me. I just don't like getting payed to work in someone else's yard and make it look nice, when OUR yard is still in bad need! Don't worry I am sure that your neighbor is just an ignorant rich person who had someone else do a ton of work on his yard, while he was off doing something that wastes time like playing Golf, or something. Well I guess I should get on with checking other blogs. Or wait to do them... They never post anyway, and even if they did it won't be too late to check tomorrow I am sure. And half of my list shows when they last posted and they are all at least one week back, so...
