Two posts in one day! I just finished another major home improvement and I was so proud I had to take pics and post them. The top pic is of our front sidewalk shortly after I started tearing it up. It actually didn't look a lot better than this. We weighed our options and decided that a deck/porch would be the best way to go. I hauled all of the concrete out after I got a trade in agreement on my truck but before I actually traded it in. There were four yards of concrete. I started the deck on Friday and finished it on Monday morning. I have to thank Jeremiah, Seth and Jacey for all of their help. Everyone is invited to come and see it at Deah's Graduation Party on May 19. Invitations are in the mail.

What an exciting weekend at the Careys'. Friday night, Deah and I went to Traverse City and picked up our new car. We love it. I had to trade in my beloved truck but at least this is also a GMC. We got an awesome deal on it and it has everything we need. The main thing was a V8 and room for the kids. The truck was too crowded and our van won't pull a trailer. Deah really likes the heated seats too. I hope this post finds everyone well and enjoying spring. See you soo.
