The work before the fun

So while all this crazy wedding business was going on, 

I offered up our place to host the bridal shower. While I 

do kind of like hosting things like this... There is still

quite a bit of things around the house and outside

that need to be done. Let me tell you, new builds are a pain

in the butt when it comes to finishing your yard and making

your place a little less "builder beige".

We put lots of money into the yard last year so this

was the year for labour and next year maybe we can 

just enjoy the yard?!?!?!

Anyways, we started holidays and decided it was best to 

stay home for a few days to put some muscle in so that

I wasn't so overwhelmed coming back to do

it while on nights... on a stretch of 15.

 

So while I was busy staining the deck... My mom was

torturing me with photos of the lake and how beautiful it was. 

 

I finally got the columns painted on our porch

which I've wanted to do for the 

last year and got our little star hung up. The porch

still needs to be stained which fingers crossed I am doing 

today once I wake up.

And of course we still had a bit of fun. We splashed at the

Auburn Bay spray park, played 2 rounds of golf, 

went paddle boarding twice. All in all I would say we 

had some successful work days before we 

got to play.
