The Good and The Bad

The good news is that I only work half a day tomorrow (YAY)!

The bad news is that I only work half a day tomorrow because I'm getting 2 of my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow afternoon (BOO)!

I got my other 2 wisdom teeth pulled about 10 years and the whole process went incredibly well. I was in and out of the dentist in about 30-45 minutes. I couldn't believe that I was done and the dentist had to show me the teeth to prove it to me. I had no issues with my recovery.

I am hoping this time around goes that well! I have heard quite a few horror stories over the past couple of weeks from people getting theirs removed...kind of freaks me out.

Not a whole lot planned for this weekend. I will be recovering and hopefully we can continue working on our front yard. We got some of the mulch put down on Tuesday and we are loving the look of it so much.

I hope everyone has a good weekend! Think of me tomorrow and the next few days every time you're eating your delicious food! I will be surviving on shakes, pudding, mashed potatoes and soup...yum :(

It's been a while...

So...I'm finally back from my blogcation.

• I have been busy with wrapping things up from my previous job and starting/training in my new position.
• Chris's grandpa came up from Florida for 2 weeks and we spent a week's worth of evenings with his family then went to the cabin for the weekend.
• Throw in a number of birthdays that have passed and are coming up 
• Amazing weather that does not make we want to sit inside and type on my computer and you get me not blogging for about a month!

Here are some pics from the cabin

The crew fishing Saturday, Oct 1 (Janeal, Brad, Grandpa, Hubs)

Grandpa, me and Hubs

Later that night we went out on the lake the cabin is on. Chris and Kirby - later on Kirby had that hook in him...he's always getting into stuff

Me and Oscar - LOVE my jacket - not stylish but it was super warm for that weekend

Oscar and Kirby were going crazy over that bucket. We put the fish we caught in there and they wouldn't leave it alone

Kirby was obsessed!

Beautiful sunset on the lake. So peaceful up there and so happy that we have the cabin to go to :)

This is what we got up to this weekend - our new project started today

Kirby with a leaf stuck to his beard. I swear there is glue on his beard cuz he's ALWAYS got stuff on his face

We started removing all of the rock - we're going to put in rubber mulch - this will be done in stages all around our house

There were a lot of leaves to rake out of the rocks



Close up of the perennials we planted. We can't wait to see this all filled in next year



This is where we got today. We have some more rocks to remove and we have to put fabric and mulch down.
We also have some bulbs to plant in front of our retaining wall. I've never planted bulbs before, I'm really excited to see them blooming next spring!!

Other than that, the Vikes finally pulled off a win today (YAY)! Minnesotans can be happy again! I went for a walk with both dogs all by myself tonight. I was impressed on how well we did, it's usually a mess and I come back frustrated but tonight was peaceful. The weather is so perfect right now. Winter is going to be rough when it gets here. I'm enjoying every second of this I can.

Hope you have a great week!
