AZ here we come!

I'm getting ready to go down to Arizona to see my dad at his new job! My mom, Corbett, Emily, Jacob, Isabel, and I are all driving down on Wednesday and we'll be back next Tuesday. We're also going to see Aprilynne and family in Phoenix. I'm excited to check out their new house! So, busy and fun times ahead!

Yard Troubles

So, this summer, my garden only grew about half the seeds I planted and of those only about half or less survived. I got some peas and beets out so far. I think I'll get some potatoes and maybe 1 or 2 tomatoes. I will get lots of pumpkins. But overall it didn't turn out that well. My mom and I figure I have really bad soil and that my garden was too big for me. I was easily overwhelmed. So, the next few weeks I will be downsizing my yard work. More grass and a lot less flower beds and garden. Maybe next summer it will be more manageable and I'll actually enjoy being outside! :) I cleared out two flower beds on Saturday and I'm still sore from the work... but it looks so much better! Now I only have like 8 more to go... *sigh*

Montana

I went to Montana this last weekend for a family reunion on my dad's, mother's side. If that makes any sense. We have just recently in the few years gotten together with them and they are a wonderful group of people! The van ran great and I remembered how much I love owning one! Lots of good space!

We're back to the school grind this week. Nothing much going on. I think I'll use this week to catch up on my "To Do" list...
