Updates O’ Plenty

I will have to admit that I found myself slacking off in the blog department this last week. With my recent promotion at work, I had a lot on my mind and on my desk. Regardless, I will do better. Here are some updates for those who care:

The wife and I became landscaper extraordinaires. We finally found a use for the pallet of bricks that was left at our house when we bought it. After some discussion, we put in a small brick patio that will butt up against the deck that I still have to build. It looks good too. We also built a stone flower bed ring around some trees in the back yard. Overall, the additions to the back have really made it look like an actually yard. We’re excited for the grass to fully grow in, and like I mentioned, for me to actually build that deck – pictures to come. And kudos to my wife for being 7-months pregnant and still wanting to get on her hands and knees to lay brick and move dirt. That woman is something fierce.

My sister forgot that I’m an old man that works on his house and watches his kid all weekend, thus, rendering me useless past 10 in the p.m. She and my mom called me three times between the hours of 11:30 p.m. and midnight, waking me from my slumber. The worst part was that every time I made it to the phone, no one was on the other side. At least someone is still living carefree. Oh, the days.

Paul Newman died. This one sucks. I will write more on him later, but for now, I will say that he was an amazing actor and a good man.

I didn't edit this, so hopefully it's not too full of errors.
