Spring Break is here!

Jim and I celebrated our 16th anniversary on thursday. Originally, Jim had sprung the idea of picking out our own presents- he said I could get the new $400 camera lens I really want ( I think he wanted something to do with his car- you know, the one he doesn't even have yet and wont for another year- the midlife crisis car!) But I knew our anniversary was the same time as spring break and we really needed to do some landscaping so stupid me- I give up a camera lens for a ton of work! Really it makes sense though- the camera lens does macro- like close ups of flowers and bugs. Macro photography is my passion and since moving to Texas, I haven't found anything inspiring to take pictures of. We have no flowers or anything pretty in our yard at all. So now we are going to plant something worth taking pictures of, but I won't have a lens for it. LOL!
Here are the before pictures....

Today we are finishing the sprinker system- it's already there, we just need to move a few things around. Digging in mud and clay is REALLY hard work!
