mid-week goodies

After 3 days of work our backyard is finally finished. Here are the amazing results:

Gorgeous, right!? You would never know that it's artificial. It feels like real grass not that horrible astroturf feel. They were also able to match the rock to what we already had in the front.

The stepping stone path to our side gate.

We are so happy with the work this company did, we will recommend them to anyone who will listen haha.

I mentioned that I was applying for jobs and had been contacted by a few companies. I was called today to interview for a part-time administrative assistant job with Tuff Shed. I will meet with the general manager on Friday. I really want this job. The pay is good and with it only being part-time I would still have time for other things. Fingers crossed!!! 

Oh....I also wanted to let you guys know that the "evil P' showed up. I thought that I would have been a lot more depressed and sad but I'm actually ok. I'm disappointed but not discouraged. I have a doctor's appointment on the 28th so hopefully we can get a game plan together. :)

Hope you all have an amazing Wednesday!

  8. Your grass looks fantastic! Being from Wisconsin, I have no experience with fake grass or any sort of turf. Heck, even our football fields are real live grass! I'm so intrigued with your yard :)
