oh my gosh! i almost forgot! remember that one time that i planted little acorns? yeah well its official.... i have 3 little sprouts! i had almost given up hope! its been a few months... but i suppose these things take time. hahah... anyway. it seriously makes me happy! im gonna have an oak tree someday... that i freaking grew from a seed! is that not the most fantastic thing ever?! i know... it is! :)

so yeah... anyway- dustin came over saturday morning to help in the backyard [we sure love him and we are so grateful that he keeps coming over to help us!] we got my little garden area done first... then he and dad started working on the water line. then all of us [me mom dad dustin adrian hayley & austin] took a trip to lowe's to get pipe and other water line related stuff... it was quite the adventure... let me tell you! and can i just tell you how much we love lowe's? its seriously fantastic... everybody is super nice and super helpful, just in case you were wondering. haha.... anyway. it was another successful saturday for us. and yes... i spent it in my overalls. hahah....
