Do I really have to go shoe shopping?

I thought I'd quickly jump on and write down a somewhat funny moment Michael and I had earlier.

This morning I asked Michael if I could get a pedicure before our family vacation to Disneyland at the beginning of August. He told me I could, on one condition, and he would have to check something at home before he would tell me what that condition was.

When we got home from work, I asked him again what his condition was. He went into our closet, came out a few minutes later holding 2 pairs of heels and told me that I could get a pedicure before we went on our vacation, but that I would have to buy a cute pair of open-toed Pumps to show off my toes (both pairs of heels that he had in his hands were closed-toed).

Now, any girl would jump at the chance to go shoe shopping when their husband tells them they have to, right? Nope, not me. I basically said "do I have to?" I told him I don't wear heels. I only own the 2 pairs he had in his hands, one of which I had to buy for a wedding, and the other pair I got on sale when I was crazy enough to think I might enjoy wearing them.

If you needed more proof that I am NOT a girly girl, there it is. :)

(Now to play some Assassin's Creed...)

Backyard completion!

Remember this?

It now looks like this!

We got concrete poured a few weeks ago and we're so excited to be able to use the bigger space! Our backyard is mostly complete, now we just need to spread out the dirt around the concrete and finish up our garden area (after pulling all the weeds). We're excited to be done with the backyard and be able to use the full yard!

Our (mostly) finished backyard!

Hiatus

Just so you all know (all 5 of you who read this),
I (Niki) am taking some classes this summer, so there might not be a whole lot going on on the blogging front until August. In case you are interested in knowing, I'm still working full time, just trying to get my generals done and out of the way, so I'm taking Criminal Justice and Chemistry online. I still have no idea what I want to go into for sure (right now it's English, but if you ask again in an hour, it may be a different answer).
There are a couple pending posts right now, but there probably won't be a whole lot of new stuff going on until August when I have a little more time.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to all the mothers and future mothers out there.

I know these people are very happy for their mothers. Thank you for all your love throughout our lives.

Front Garden

When we had our backyard put in last year, we had them rip out some grass in front of our steps in the front yard. At the end of last month, we went to Home Depot and bought some little shrubs and some stepping stones. We now have a cute little garden in our front yard! I was helping while planting the shrubs, so there's not any "in between" pictures. Just before and after planting. :)

The dirt was really wet after we transplanted the shrubs, so we waited to put the stepping stones down, but I promise they're there now! :)
