Our Yard...

So Doug is swearing up and down that we will NEVER buy a house again when there is snow on the ground...we did NOT know the shape of the yard and just how much work it would be!!  Needless to say, it has been a constant project and the front yard at least is done or VERY close to being done!!  Doug is SO proud of his work and I am too!  I did not know he had it in him and I did not realize I had it in me a little bit either!  We both said that our parents didn't have us outside spreading mulch and doing yard work for nothing because now we have a great looking yard!! 

Here is a picture of our yard right when we moved in - this is even with a lots of chopping and trimming done by Mike, Doug & Sue when his parents were there helping us move in!

 

Here is the yard as of today - yes, there are some rough spots still, but there is new grass growing!  He has done a GREAT job!!

Now to add a little bit of wedding to the mix....I have taken a picture of our 'yes' and 'no' piles....Doug and I find it humorous, my mom is not quite to the laughing point :)

As you can see, we have MANY yes's and one no....We are getting VERY excited!  Only 61 days to go!!
