A little sleep...

A little slumber, a little folding of the hands...

And your yard is a hot mess. The previous owners had this house as a "second home," so needless to say, the yard has been neglected. Fortunately I married a fellow passionate about landscaping. A few weeks ago, he got busy.

Of course, things around here have to get worse before they get better. Here are the results of the massacre...

Several holly trees (yes, trees, not bushes) and other various overgrown shrubs make for quite a stack!
We've been busy making our house a home, so more to come soon!

Dedicated

Last weekend, Scott (the bro) and Michelle's firstborn was dedicated to the Lord. It was a sweet time for family and friends to get together to celebrate the next generation in the Schuchard Clan, sweet Ellie. She has grown and changed so much in the past 2ish months! It is amazing. Here are a few pics

Proud parents

Doesn't Ellie look regal?

Yours truly with Scott, Michelle, and Ellie

The extended fam

hitched

Last weekend, the hubs and I ventured down to our old stomping grounds for Dan and Elizabeth's nuptials. It was a good time had by all, and I don't think I've seen many couples so happy to get married as they were. Here are a few pics of the weekend...

Yours truly with Mr. and Mrs. DTI

Emily O'Dell captured the evening as the official photog, here's a picture to prove she was really there!

Another highlight of the trip was hanging out with our dear friends Emily and Eric Remington. The problem is... we always have so much fun that we forget to take pictures. While shopping at the Old House Depot for cool old stuff, Emily and I met Johnny Bertram. She being significantly cooler than I already had both of his albums, but I went ahead and purchased the LP. I've been enjoying the folksy Idaho-meets-Mississippi sounds all week!

Fancy architectural piece I want from Old House Depot- maybe it'll still be there next go 'round?
