Our Backyard (The Man Cave)

Summer is here! My hubs latest project has been our backyard patio, for those of you who have read my blog before you already know my hubs is the jack of all trades and once he decides on a project you may as well consider it done. For whatever reason my hubs decided that he wanted to stain our patio and so he did, and he did it in under two days. And I must say it turned out pretty fantastic.

Before:

My makeshift outdoor counter =)

After:
I added the pillows tonight =)
This is still a work in progress, we ordered the granite slab for the top today, this was my husbands solution to my makeshift counter =)

And our yard is totally ready, well almost totally I still would like some more flowers in the back and the hubs would like a tv (which I have told him is completely unnecessary, but he begs to differ, so I am sure we will have one soon). He claims that since our house isn't quite big enough for him to have a man cave inside he will turn the outside into a man cave. Next step according to the hubs, a huge overhang so we can be on the patio in all weather.

I cannot believe it is already July! Where has the first month of summer gone? It sure flew by. I cannot believe that I have only one month left until school starts. I am getting very excited for next year. As of August 1st I can get into my classroom and start putting things together. I have been imagining my own classroom for a couple of years now so I have some pretty high expectations to live up to =)

I was able to enjoy a quiet day at home today getting my house back in order after numerous vacations (not that I am complaining one bit).
Our living room finally back in order, is it weird that I physically feel better when my house is clean? (Also we have been working on the yard, blog coming soon)
We are home until Thursday and then we escape to the adorable mountain town of Graeagle, CA for a long weekend with my mom's family! Golf, Swimming, Fishing & Biking here we come! I can't wait!
Isn't it the cutest little town!
So my song for this week is, Summer of '69, it came on the radio while I was cleaning today and it seemed fitting for this week:
