We're too busy!

So...it's been a long time since I've updated this blog. That is a sure sign that we are too busy right now! I don't know what it is about this time of year, but it seems like our schedule has gone from busy to crazy busy in a matter of days. I guess it's the end of the school year rush/my sister is getting married next week that has me spinning my wheels! Amazingly, we're keeping up, but we are hitting the pillow hard every night. I am home today, on my day off, cleaning and organizing and finally catching up on our laundry...it feels very good! I have such a complex about feeling overwhelmed and out of control when I get behind at home. Nothing warms my heart more like a clean house! I'm the cleaner who lights candles and puts on my favorite music...I like the whole experience! So, I'm looking around now and finally feeling caught up. Therefore, now I have some time to fill you in...

I'll post some pictures from our recent escapades...first, of our cute porch! I finally got some cushions for our patio furniture and some flowers planted, so now I'm out there all the time. It's so nice to have an outside escape again. Our last townhouse had no yard, no patio, nothing. So, between Ryley, Travis and I, someone is always out there! We'll have to see how my pots of flowers do...we get mostly shade, so I'm hoping they flourish. Travis went with me to pick out the flowers this year, and all was well until he began questioning my choices! I quickly reminded him of my beginnings as a bedding plant specialist, 8 years ago! I can take criticism and opinions about most things except flowers. That is one subject I feel quite knowledgable about, so he grinned and vowed to lay off! A wise move...

So, here are some pictures!
