Checking In

I just realized that it has been over a month since our last update and the reason is two-fold. Partly because we haven't had any drastic news or events to report and also because we've been busy doing this and that.

Since Del's return to Boise we have been busy many of the weekends. Labor Day weekend was camping, then a visit to my Grandma in Twin Falls, ID, and an overnight trip to The Big Nasty Hill Climb in New Plymouth, ID (dirty bikes racing up a steep hill).

And if we werent' out of town, we were home getting things done! We took on one last project before calling it quits (kind of) on the house. Our dog has a habit of running back and forth from our back sliding door to the side door into the garage and that poor small area of lawn in between became a mud pit. So to avoid a really messy upcoming winter and future frustration, we found a good deal on Craigslist for a load of pavers. Del got to work, dug out the grass, and laid the pavers!

Del awesome work! As usual...

Since this pic was taken, we've trans-planted that big Sandcherry to the bigger area across the path by the fence and moved a shrub from out front to replace it. We've also bought a few new plants but we aren't sure we want to spend more money on plants we won't be here to take care of in the spring. So it may stay pretty sparse back here. Renters won't mind :-P

Well, I don't think there's much else to report. Del's just forcing himself through this last semester of school while I work. Still no word where we're going with Kiewit, probably not for at least another month :-(
I think time is going to fly though! It's already October and we're fast approaching another busy stretch! Parents coming to visit in a couple wks, then Thanksgiving, then my birthday, then Del's graduation and more family coming to town, then Xmas......all leading up to the big move and our Hawaii trip!! I just hope I can stay sane thru all this....:-P
