Hot Photos!

This is just in our backyard. That is almost all of it, there is a little concrete patio just off the house.

It is a break away! I think she was offsides earlier, though.

Back of the house with the patio and my little grill. We might need a plastic chair or two to put back here. A non-Palm tree (bush?), too! The landlord pays for all the lawn care, but we pay the water bill. The lawn-care people come on Thursdays. Early. And they are loud. At least, it seemed that way as we tried to sleep in this week.

Ali found these couches and the tables at RC Willey for what seemed like a good deal after looking at Sam's club. They really fill up our little living/dinning area. They look pillow-back, but the backs don't come off. They are really firm, which is allright with us. It has been a real adjustment having furniture that we want to keep. No more eating on the couches. Or jumping on the couches. Or using the couches as a saw bench. The bookshelf in the back came with us from Provo. I'm not a big fan of the vertical blinds so far; they seem to bind and cause issues whenever we touch them. Ali also has a big area rug comming from RC Willey that will go between the couches. It was being shipped from a different location and is taking longer. With the couches and stuff it doesn't feel like we are living in a cave anymore, but the all-tile flooring is still a little odd. Sure, you can get it clean but it takes as much time and work as a carpet. The difference is that the carpet might look clean but really never is. We also bought a new (to us, at least) matress from Ali's sister. Our old matress was sooooooo lumpy and squeaky. You can come visit and try it out. . .

We went to Church today for the first time. Our Ward is full of Mormons. . .

I'll have to take some pictures or video of the tree lined roads and sidewalks.
