So nice to be home!

We are finally home! It has been so nice to be living in our home again! We were a little nervous coming home because we knew some crazy things had happened while we were gone like a very powerful windstorm that blew Taylee's swing set over and broke it and blew shingles off our roof. We knew our septic system needed a new motor and we had a whole other list of home improvement items we wanted to get going on. But, our amazing neighbors decided to get together for FHE the Monday night before we got home and they did so much. We got home and our lawn was mowed, our side weed field has been plowed out, our swing set was fixed, my house was clean, my flower beds were weeded..... they did so much and it took so much stress off coming home. Then our neighbor who is a roofer offered to fix our roof up if our insurance won't cover it! We feel so lucky to have such great neighbors.

Taylee is very happy to be home too!

So with most of the vital fixes out of they way, we were able to get going on some other projects. We had our countertops replaced almost a year ago and have needed a backsplash since then and we finally had our friend Nate over to do the job and we are so pleased with the work he did. He let Aaron help cut lots of the tiles and they got it done pretty fast. Thanks again Nate you did an awesome job!

It is nothing too fancy, but just enough to make our kitchen feel more finished and dress it up a little. We order new handles for our cabinets and are getting a new sink and faucet and then our kitchen will be about done. The tile still needs to be grouted so when everything is finished I will post a final picture. Aaron has been dying to get a dirt bike since before last summer, but I just couldn't do it when we had lots of project at the house that needed to be done. I told him while we were in Wa. that if he could get the kitchen done, get Tay a bed, and do something with our weed field on the side of the house I would be fine with him getting a dirt bike. We have only been home a little over a week and he already has two of the three done! Thanks babe, you've been working so hard!
