Backyardigans

Our backyard! It is done!! It only took a year from start to finish, but it is completed! 

We were going to originally build a deck. Well, Ryan was going to. But eventually we decided concrete made more sense because of the large area we wanted to cover. 

Here is the finished product:

We are loving it. We have already had 4 BBQs with friends/family and we've only had it for 2 weeks. It's so nice not to have any more dirt anywhere. I conducted a short interview with Ryan. 

Q: how do you feel about it getting done?

A: Great. 

Q: What was your least favorite part?

A: digging the trenches for the sprinkler system. 

Q: what was your favorite part?

A: laying the sod. 

Q: if you could redo something what would it be?

A: to not dig those trenches so freaking deep. 

Well, my dear husband, you did a swell job with your first landscaping endeavor. May it be your last!

Maya and I very much enjoyed a BBQ! And yes, she is gnawing on a big chunk of beef.
