flowers flowers everywhere

i have spring fever!

I AM SOOO EXCITED! we are starting our landscaping this weekend! actually, we're just digging up all the rock in our front yard and in the back yard around the trees. and that, my friends, is going to be a lot of work! the rock goes all around our house... who does that? we've already bought a bunch of mulch and my moms all about buying us flowers- okay, i'll take it! to plant all around the house. now we just need to find some bushes that dan and i can agree on to put in the front yard. it's going to be a big job! ANNND we're tilling up the space between the fence and the back shed to get ready for the garden! i am so ready for pea pods, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, carrots... EVERYTHING! my garden along the garage is coming back, but i feel it looks a little plain, so i might have to update that as well. i hope we can get all of this done by june :) and we just laid some grass seed so this rain we've been getting is wonderful!
this summer i really wanted to get a start on the inside of our house, the carpeting, cabinets and putting in a shower in the basement... but that's all quite a bit more expensive than we had planned. when we bought this house we knew we were going to have to invest some money into it. the carpet is all from the 80's or farther back... it's nasty! we still have pink carpet our bedroom... and since it's so large and odd shaped that's going to be the most $$$... boo! i'm trying to convince dan that it would be okay to have hard wood floors upstairs, but he's worried that it will be too cold in the mornings- boo hoo. i wish we would have taken pictures of our house, even before the paint it was nasty.

the weather could be just a little bit nicer. it's been super humid and now rainy. i remember last year around this time i would have killed someone for a rainy day- the humidity made my feet swell like a crazy person. and being on my feet for over 8 hours, oofta! my next pregnancy will be planned for the winter ;)

summer is coming!!!! i am so excited. this summer is so busy!
i wish my garden would look like these pictures... a girl can dream right?
the vegetable garden could be a possibility, maybe get rid of some of the clutter in the back?? but i doubt my garden would ever look as good as the flower garden i found on the Internet, the colors just look so beautiful!
