Some more pictures and life in general

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you have probably noticed that Adam never posts. This is because he has no interest in our blog. Oh well, that is what wives are for. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.



This is a picture of Max hanging over the railing near the front door.



Here is Max over the railing again. He really wants me to catch one of the birds that live and made a nest in our half-bathroom vent.



As you can see, the tiny white flowers in the front have completely overgrown the lovely pinky-purple ones I planted in between. Oh well. I guess the pinky-purple ones are the weakest link of the yard.



I got this flag from Sears and put it up not actually realizing that today is flag day. I think it looks too big, but I'm getting used to it. Leave a comment with your opinion. Should I take it down?



We tore out this overgrown azalea bush today. It was hard work (sorry Adam:-( ). Now I have a big empty space. I found the most interesting things buried down in the soil. There were beer bottle tops, shards of glass, empty drink bottles, and a children's plastic necklace.

I have no idea what to do with this space now. I need Extreme Makeover: Townhouse Front Yard Edition to help me.

So thats our life in pictures.

Adam is working the oddest schedule right now- 2 night shifts, then 2 late shifts, then one early shift. Its really odd for him to leave for work at 4pm and get home at 4am. It is only for a month though, and then he gets to do all night shifts! I'm really not looking forward to this, but hopefully it is only for a short time. Our current prayers are for God to bring Adam success at work, and, if it is His will, to prepare a place for us in North Carolina so we can more down there and start a family. If that is not His will, we're praying for Him to help Adam to get a promotion so we can afford to live on one income (even though I'll still teach a few hours each week) and so we can start paying down some things like the cars, etc.

We're having the deck powerwashed and sealed next week. The deck is in terrible condition, and it keeps getting eaten by wasps. I've noticed that they only eat our deck, and not our neighbor's. This is probably because ours isn't sealed. The wasps took all the wood they chewed up, and made nests underneath our deck and in the tree next door. They might be coming out of the woods behind our house too, so I think it is best that we have the deck taken care of. We tried to use the powerwasher we bought last year, but apparently we're completely unable to do it right, and we messed up a small (okay, medium) section of the railing. So this year we're hiring professionals to do it. I'll probably try to sell the stupid powerwasher on Craigslist.

I like the flag! you should keep it. :) Also, you didn't leave your pretty little plants very much room to spread so that is why they are taking over each other.
