Green green grass:)

We finally have grass on our backyard. It makes me so happy because I am not a big fan of the brown dirt that surrounds my home at the moment. Troy's parents came to help us with it and it sure was a big project. Troy ended up with five blisters from trying to dig through the hard dirt. We are not finished with the backyard yet,Troy is planning on planting trees and building a little wall etc. I really can't take any credit for the work since I didn't get down and dirty there. Instead, I was the good housewife who supplied water bottles, sandwiches and cooked dinner. I never really think of myself as a "housewifey" material since I'm all about making Troy cook and clean and do laundry as much as I do it. My attitude is "whoever has more time to spare should do the house stuff".




We also got new bookcases from Ikea that we put in our den. We had painted it dark brown few weeks ago and wanted to accentuate the dark color with white furniture. As you can see, we need more books. I absolutely love reading; however, I am a regular at the Tucson city library so my own collection of books is not very big. Troy tells people that I act like a kid on a Christmas morning when I go to the library; that is how excited I get about reading good books. Yes, I'm little nerdy:) However, I keep finding GRE words for Troy from my books, so hopefully that will help him on his test. He is desperately trying to learn some of the vocabulary, which for most people is very difficult. I absolutely hate those standardized tests. I think they are evil!

We also had some "new" people over tonight. There are so many fun people in our ward that we haven't had a chance to hang out so finally tonight we had Camille and Birch and Emmy and David over.

Also if anyone wants a running buddy, let me know. I am thinking of training for San Francisco Marathon(august 2008). Though, we all know how successful I was about my half-marathon training. So we'll see...
