BACKYARD WE CAN APPRECIATE NOW

UPDATE ON BACKYARD!

Patio redux!

NEW BEDROOM!!!

My wonderful husband worked his tush off to make our new bedroom unbelievably relaxing, serene and amazing. I LOVE IT. I feel like I wake up to a cottage every single morning. He rules.

Hurricane Sandy Kicked Our Ass

Hurricane Sandy was a mega bitch. She came in like a sass a frass and bitch slapped NJ. Luckily - we live in a part of Cranford NJ that is not in the flood zone. For 7 days, I stared at my husband in the dark and thought about how boring it would be to be Amish, or live in a pre-electricity world. We lit fires, played romantic Scrabble by candlelight and gained five lbs each stuffing our face with emergency potato chips. A tree decided to take a nice nap on our roof, that was a sound I'd like to completely block from my memory. Overall though, it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. It was kind of nice being forced off the grid (ok we still have Facebook on our phones) and spending some QT with my main squeeze.

Re-Fi

This morning we got to sign like 150 pages and initial here and initial there to lower our interest rate on our mortgage. It was like buying the house all over again, except with a smaller check and new initials!! :)

Lazy Home Owners

It's that time of year when the weather starts to change, you look outside and see your 40-something-year-old neighbors doing yardwork and you think, holy shit I'm lazy. So, today is the day. It's the day we weed that garden, rake the leaves and make this home something we are proud of. A few hours in the yard and we'll feel like we've really accomplished something, right? Standby. Will let you know.

PORCH!

our new addition to the porch!

New BUFFET

It's the little things that make your home so cozy

Hurricane Irene

It's 9/12/11 - approximately two weeks since Hurricane Irene tore through Cranford, NJ. Look at this place. It's like Katrina. Some people will never be returning to their homes. We drove to the conservation center yesterday - see that huge pile? That's just from a few blocks. So devastating.

This is how I feel today

Backyard BBQ~

A New Garden

After hours of manual labor and getting in a fight with a squirrel (u fckn P.O.S. get out of my garden) we have a beautiful backyard ready for BBQs!! Good work boo.

Hello Spring!

We had a nervous breakdown this weekend and pulled all of the bushes and dead trees out from our front yard.

FINALLY.

I'm embarrassed to say that I finally found curtains yesterday. We've been running to the bathroom in the nude for almost a year and I'd like to publicly apologize to my neighbors.

Our First Snow Storm!!
