Summer is finally here! I don't know what it is about waking up to a beautiful sunny day, but it always manages to give me an extra spring to my step!
I recently celebrated my birthday- I couldn't have asked for a better day. I can't thank my husband enough for planning such a wonderful day. I was able to celebrate with both my friends and family- I'm very fortunate to have so many beautiful people in my life.
For the summer 2014 I have several projects that I'm working on! Nothing makes me happier than working on my house and me! The landscaping will commence in a few short weeks, as will the painting. I've already begun to scrape. I will post before pictures shortly. We are doing a color change on the house from blue to gray. I haven't picked out my colors yet- Yikes! I better make my way to the paint store!
The landscaping really excites me, it's going to be glorious to walk into my backyard relax by our newly built fire pit and admire the beautiful flower beds!
My backyard is rather large and I find the amount of work that needs to be done overwhelming! My landscaper thankfully sees a blank canvas, I hope he still feels that way once he actually tackles the work! My home is my sanctuary and I desperately need green space that allows me to relax, entertain and to just be!
On the career front I'm a enrolled in two online courses! This is a first for me, I'm a bit old school in that I have always leaned towards traditional learning methods. So far, so good though. Online courses offer a lot of flexibility which is exactly what I need. In many ways this journey is a gut check, do I have the motivation to walk the walk?! So far I do! Not sure if this discipline comes with age, or maybe it's the realization that the word 'can't' isn't an option!
Pictures to follow soon! In meantime I'll be sitting barefoot in the grass with my biology and chemistry books!
