Our House Got a Facelift!

Micah has been working relentlessly on re-landscaping our front yard for the past several weeks. He did everything by hand.....ripped up grass (this was a huge hurdle), took it to the dump, re-worked the irrigation system, tilled the soil, planted the plants, and finally mulched. I think it looks great now, but it's going to look even better in a few months after the plants have grown some. Check out the results (before, during, and after).

Santa Cruz, CA

So, it's been forever since we've updated our blog, but we've had, ummm.....other things going on recently. Last week we had our 5th Anniversary (which is really heard to believe). To celebrate we went to Santa Cruz for four days and it was a nice get-away for us. We relaxed on the beach, ate at some fun local restaurants, got a little sun burned, and relaxed some more. Micah also took a surfing lesson and picked it up pretty fast! It was really hard to go back to work today!

We are a little sunburned here.

This was our view from our hotel balcony.

The famous Santa Cruz Boardwalk

Yes, that is Micah surfing (on the yellow board)!
