Still Makin It

This last week I feel we accomplished quite a bit. TJ loved his first week of school and is so excited to be learning.  I have come to enjoy my new job and co workers.  We have unpacked a little more and I did the first cleaning of the house. Cleaned both bathrooms, vaccumed everything and cleaned the kitchen in a total of like an hour and a half. Ha I like having a small house.  We have used every new kitchen tool we have I think. TJ was very excited to use our blender to make smoothies and we have made cookies and all sorts of food with everything we got from the wedding. At least its all broke in now I guess. This week we realized that we have a small leak under our kitchen sink. TJ blames the idiots that "jimmy rigged" the pipes together for connecting everything in a stupid way. I'm just glad it's a cheap fix.

Friday night we went out to dinner with my new co-workers and some other friends. It was an adventure. I sure do miss my Lehi Greens. Saturday we decided we would fix up our cute tiny yard. Why we chose a day it would be 113 degrees I have no idea, but it looks a ton better. TJ trimmed the little patch of so called grass we had and raked up all the leaves and garbage. We planted some grass seed and hopefully we will see it in a few weeks. We found out that we have ants and ALOT of them. But all is good now we sprayed for them and all other bugs :) When we moved in we had a random pot out in the backyard. TJ moved it and cleaned it up and told me if I found a flower or plant I really liked he would plant it for me. On one of our many trips to home depot I found a Hibiscus plant and I love it. It barely survived the wind storm of the first night but bloomed so pretty in the Sunday morning sun. 


While doing yard work we also learned that we have two humming birds living in the corner tree of our yard. I got a feeder and am so excited to watch them even more. I hope this keeps them around for a long time. Today is the 4th and we are just enjoying the rainy day. The weather is so perfect it has finally cooled off a bit and the smell of rain is wonderful. We plan to just bbq and probably watch some movies. And I did get to see my hummingbirds enjoy the feeder today! Finally!!
