It almost sounds good to move back to TX. I want to be able to wear my cute shoes again, I want to be able to get into my car and not have to wait till I get to work (30 min drive) for my heater to finally be full blast, I want to plant!!!
I am ready for Spring, I am ready to dig in dirt and pretend that I am a master gardener (I am so not - I tend to kill things). I am ready for walks outside, I am ready to soak up the sun past 4:30pm. I am also ready for all the house projects that we can continue on!!!
We started to paint our house last summer/fall and did a pretty decent job of it all until my Husband's eye went bust. There is a lesson in this story so pay attention closely.... After buying our own paint sprayer instead of renting one and it getting clogged over and over again, we finally went back to Home Depot and rented a professional grade sprayer (my advice is to do this from the start and save the time, headache and money). It definitely had more pressure and I offered Bryan a pair of goggles - he chose not to wear them... and low and behold that evening his eyes were swollen he couldn't see out of them and had to go to the eye doctor the next morning...he had two ulcers on his corneas. PAINFUL to say the least...that was in Sept...it is now January and he is still seeing an eye doctor - but he is on the mend and it is almost perfect timing!!! I am so going to put him back to work this spring (it is the least I can do considering he left all the trim work up to me ;)). So the lesson to everyone is - listen to your wives -WEAR GOGGLES!
EVIDENCE:
obviously a before
and here is a durring
and the after
now we just have to add some landscaping!!!
So there will be a few touch ups on the paint - hopefully a fence and a few new shrubs this spring - can't be that hard right?
