All the fun stuff...

Here it is! Our deck is all complete. We finished it this week and I am loving it. It is so nice to just sit out there in the evenings. I think they person that likes it the best is Maggy. She goes outside all the time now and just lays out on the deck. We haven't really been having any hot weather here yet, it just seems like it can't decide what to do - so all my flowers are slowing making there way up. I can't wait to see how well they do and I can't wait for them all to bloom. We have been so busy lately and when the week is over, I keep thinking, "I don't know what we did this week, but it just flew and I am exhausted!" Work is crazy and I am kind of burnt out right now, but I am just trying to push through. Brandon is still working at Target and lately he has started getting a lot more hours. I am so proud of all the hard work he puts in for us. He gets up around 3 a.m. and usually gets off work between noon and 2 p.m. I can't believe all the hard work he puts in. Then he goes to the gym for 2+ hours everyday. I know it will all be worth it in the end and I am looking forward to the future he is making for us. It seems crazy all the changes we have made in our lives the past two years. I never thought we would be doing what we are doing, and I can't help but be EXCITED about our future. We have the love and support of our families and that is more than we could ever ask for. Thank you to everyone. We feel your prayers and we know that the Lord is watching over us. It means a lot that you all care. Well, I need to go take Maggy out for a walk. She has been getting up at around 5 a.m. every morning barking. I think that it is a combination of it being lighter outside earlier in the morning, she is teething, and lack of lots and lots of exercise. So, we are gonna tucker her out everynight. Wish me luck!

oh yeah, and Happy Birthday to ME & BRANDON!
