So..Day 2 of the patio project will not upload for some reason. I have tried 3 times and it ain't happenin'. I'll work on that.

In the mean time, here's a loving and endearing story about my husband..

Time to time D travels for work. Sometimes he goes a month without any travel, sometimes he travels 2-3 days a week. It's not ideal but do-able. The major perk of his traveling is that I get to eat all the Lean Cuisines I want and D likes to bring home presents for meee!

A few weeks ago D was in Atlanta for a few days. He really really missed me. REALLY. Check out the loving and thoughtful gift he brought home...never expecting this pearl loving, cardigan wearing, Vera Bradley toting gal would wear....

but I did!!

You should have seen the look on D's face when he came home from work the next day and I was wearing this shirt. He died. and asked "What if the neighbors see you!?" ha ha ha

To which I replied, "YOU bought it"

Always fun and games at the D/H household!

words i never thought would come out of my mouth...

"D!! A caulk gun is just like a cookie press!" - while building the side walls of the patio

"I am not going to wash my hair (day 2) today, I'll just put on a hat" - 7am on Sunday morning while preparing for another day's work

"Yeah, just load 75 blocks on the back of the truck....any more would really test the suspension." -my 17th trip to Menards in reference to the amount of weight the suspension on the truck could handle

"My squatting muscles hurt"- ouch!! ouch!! After hauling around 27lb blocks and lifting with my legs, every muscle from my hips down hurts.

Patio Project-Prep and Day 1

Before: An UGLY, OLD, LEANING, deck.Looking very official in my hard hat, protective eyewear, and crowbar! haThis was a late night...sorry neighbors!Early Saturday Morning:

Thanks so so very much to D2,K, and the W's. :)

It's super cliche, but we could not have done this without you. Demolition...Last minute delivery...Yay!! Bricks on the ground!D and D2 getting an up-close look at the patio foundation

I am so proud of my husband and friends for accomplishing excessive amounts of work in one day. It is incredible.

I promise lots of beer and good food when the project is done. cross. my. heart.
