Patio Pictures

Before



Table, rug, new hanging flowers, plants along the fence (wildflowers, roma tomatoes, jalepeno, habenero and green bell peppers)

New fire pit

(yep, I took pictures while Jonathan put it together!! :) )

We didn't have our wood moved over yet from the old place yet, so we got rid of some of our boxes and paper from moving.

Our first fire!!

Patio Project

This weekend we've got a lot of yard work. Jonathan cleaned up the cacti in our front yard. He only have minor wounds from that! I pulled LOTS of weeds and we're hoping to have our yard green again soon.

We made our patio a little nicer today. After helping some friends build a fountain/pond in their yard we were inspired and bought some plants (roma tomato, green bell peppers, jalepeno, habenero pepper), flowers and a fire pit for our patio. After a day in the sun I only have a sunburn on my shoulders!!

All-in-all, a successful weekend.

I can't get the pictures to upload, but will post them soon.

We're in

the new house. We had a big group help us over the weekend and got all the furniture moved in only two trips. Jonathan and I moved the boxes and small stuff Friday night so Saturday would just be furniture. We have mostly everything unpacked. There are a few rooms that still need to be arranged, but the house is coming together quick! This is our living room at the moment

This picture is looking into the living room from the front door.

Work for both of us and good. Jonathan is really busy at work and getting lots of projects done. The interns at COP have started to arrive, this means lots of activities and events will also begin for the summer.

We've (I've) started looking for puppies. We aren't planning on getting one until after our trip back to OK in June, but that hasn't stopped be from looking to see what's out there. We are pretty sure we will be going to the Farmington or Durango shelter to find a puppy. We both want one now, but don't want to bring a puppy that we're trying to train on a trip to OK soon after we get it. So we're waiting and will wait to find the right dog at the shelter. We both want a puppy medium-large size that we can take camping, hiking, etc. Jonathan wants a border collie, I want a lab. If you hear of anything in the OK area that's free or not more $$ than the shelter let us know. We'd be interested in picking one up in June in OK if we could.

We planted the wildflowers from our wedding in our backyard on our anniversary. It was a coincidence, but cute! :) We had the large half barrel pots that were empty and decided to plant them since we already had them. We should be seeing them in a few weeks.

We had a great anniversary. We spent it getting the house together, but it was fun. Can't ask for a better anniversary gift than a house! :)

It's been a while

since I last posted. We have been very busy lately so I'll try and fill you in.

We had a great trip to Oklahoma. I was fun to see family and spend time with them. We didn't see everyone, but luckily we'll be back in a month from today for four days.

We instantly felt the humidity when we arrived in OKC. The air was SO thick it was hard to catch out breath. Been away one year and forgot something we grew up with our entire lives.

The shower was fun and went well. Below is a great pic of our growing Coberly clan.

We move this weekend. We will close this Thursday, get the keys Friday and begin moving things after work. Our plan is to move all of our boxes and small things Friday night. Saturday morning we've got a lot of friends that are going to help up move. It should go quick! Then we'll have our first BBQ for those that helped up move.

I am officially full-time at my work. No longer a temp employee. I've got paid vacation and days off now, which will be nice. I've been bragging to Jonathan about the number of days I get off compared to Jonathan. It doesn't mean much since he gets more overall with one day off a month whenever he wants it, but it's still fun! :)

Our one year wedding anniversary is Sunday. I can't believe it's been a year already!! Not sure if we'll be doing anything special since we're moving.
