BACK, I Say!

Seriously...could I write or obsess more over the drama that was our front yard this past winter? I mean enough is enough...EXCEPT TO SAY (ha!)...

While we were on vacation, some friends of ours parked their car at our house to go walk to the 4th of July fireworks. As they were hanging around our front yard, a couple walked by and proclaimed, "We just have to tell you...we find your yard to be absolutely stunning. Just gorgeous!"

I told Matt that story the other day and he just stood their beaming, with a twinkle in his eye. Oozing with the similar feeling of pride and joy as he had the day he graduated from nursing school at the University of Michigan. And while we never spoke of that moment, I feel like in his head, the dialogue went something like this:

"Screw you, demolished water pipes. You may have smashed our yard's hopes and dreams...and money to buy Christmas presents (and that year's sales bonus')...but damnit! The yard is back. The yard is BACK!"
(cue tear running down face....)

Just wish you had a picture of Matt's face, though I didn't really need it.
