A blog about nothing

I have not felt like I had any exciting news to report to you all lately and that is why I haven't been blogging much. However I read Rosetta's blog this afternoon (along with 19 others! Holy cow people!) and realized that I don't really have to have anything super exciting to write about, I can just write about nothing. So nothing is what follows...

This is what we have been up to lately:In one week and one day we have created ourselves a backyard. Yesterday Matt and I were out in the sun for about 4 1/2 hours finishing up. We shoveled dirt, raked dirt, I threw out about 500 rocks, and we lined up all of the lovely cynder blocks that you see here in this picture. Here's what my back looks like today because I kept asking Matt if I was looking red and he said I looked okay. Hmmm... at least now I know that he's not a very good judge of sunburns. :)

Today I have been working hard. I got a new client, so now I have 3 total. I have been making a lot of calls lately and I feel as though my butt is pretty much glued to this computer chair most of my days now. That is probably another reason why I haven't been blogging lately, because I'm just so sick of being on the computer by the time I am done working.

Life is good though. We are still waiting for a buyer/contract for our house but we remain hopeful and we are praying a lot! Saturday night, after our date, Matt and I went out to our new property and looked at the stars and prayed. It was pretty cool. I can't wait until it is time to start packing boxes. I almost feel like I should just start packing in faith but I guess I haven't quite gotten to that point yet.

I would like to say thank you to all of you that are complementing my recipes and cleaning abilities in your blogs. Just today Billy, Amy Coverdale, and Rosetta all mentioned me in regard to a cleaning or cooking thing. Thanks guys! I'm glad to know that I have some fans! :)

Let's see... what else is there to talk about... Last night Matt and I didn't go to the Stirring. We were sooooo pooped after working on the yard and we needed some down time. So instead we stayed at home and drank margaritas, spent some time talking, and we watched a good movie. I love margaritas! As soon as the weather starts getting warm I crave them. I hope that didn't come out totally wrong, it's just that warm weather and tequila go so well together, don't you think?

Saturday my women's group had a small shower for my good friend Beckie Luff. It was fun getting together and showering her with diapers, wipes, and onsies. Beckie is an amazing mother and I am so blessed to have her as my friend. She's the only one that understands exactly how I feel about all my cleaning craziness. I get to go hang out with her, Austin and Gavin on Wednesday so I am looking forward to that. Here is a picture that Emily took at the shower.

Well I'm sure that I have bored you all enough with my talking about nothing, but thanks for reading. I hope you are all having a fabulous Monday and I promise to blog again soon.

  1. I know what you mean about the margaritas and hot weather! Last summer was hard...sure glad I'm not pregnant anymore! I think I'm going to try mojitos this summer...my body doesn't do as good with all the sugar and mojitos are quite refreshing. Plus, Matt just planted some mint in our backyard...it should be a good summer :)

  3. Margaritas and summer; a perfect combo. Even your blogs about nothing are interesting. I will be praying about the house situation. We will have to drink some maragritas this summer :)

  4. Your bnlo0g is very fun. I love the pictures, though I will have to say you have to keep the sunburn. Yuck. I am glad I do not have one of those.
