And so it begins...

Now that Spring is here, it is time to begin our outdoor projects!  The first task that we wanted to tackle were these awful, huge, green, insect-infested, bushes that were located on the side of our yard.  Ben and Andrew were able to use Ben's truck to pull out a majority of the bushes, however there were many ruts that were left behind in the front yard from all of their work.  The people who lived in the house before us didn't take great care of the yard, so we have many patches of dirt that need some love and affection from some grass seed.  We also decided to add some landscaping features to the front of the house.  It's a work in progress, but so far we are really happy.  Check back every now and then for new pictures of our progress.
This is an after shot of all the hard work

A stump that got left behind due to stuborness


Ben hard at work


He even let me get in on the action!


New flower beds!

We also purchased a new rug for our living room with a gift card from Kohl's my mom got me.  I'm so happy with our choice, its make our living room seem a little more homey.
