I love the month of May!

I started a countdown today at school. We have 24 days left and I'm probably a little too excited. I do love my students and have enjoyed this group, but I'm ready for the summer break so bad I can taste it.

Micheal and I recently celebrated being married a year. Before we got married I had visions of how it would be and what we would do every weekend together. I did not think we would ever spend as much time in the yard as we do. Micheal hopes to one day hold the yard of the month throne! I love it though. I appreciate his passion. He really does want everyone to stop as they walk by and be pleased with his beautiful work. He would even enjoy compliments on his work. I think we have a conversation about the yard at least once a day. I know that seems silly but our yard really needed a lot of work when we moved in. Plus, most of the yards around us look inpeccable. The most recent conversation " how the rain affects our flowerbeds." It really stirs him up when the mulch is moved from the bed. So we have decided to stop having the conversation and fix the problem. We will be purchasing gutters next Friday. That is another thing I never thought about before marriage. Everything cost more compared to what I always thought. Being married to a financial buff, we save for things and budget well. I just never thought shades for a window, shutters, plants, etc. would cost as much as they do. Then again my husband has told me I just have expensive taste. It really makes you appreciate your parents though. As a child I never really thought about where all the money went. I spend at least two hundred dollars a week on food, and that is for two people and an amazing dog. I can't imagine when the children come around how much we will spend. Anyways, Micheal and I spend a lot of time in the yard. I guess it is becoming a hobby we share.

Well, I hope everyone has a great ending to their week!
