Destroying the Enemy!

This weekend was a pretty nice one.  We saw some friends, watched some football, hung out with family, and did some work around the house.  As you can see, it was too much for Lily.  She's so exhausted this morning she forgot to be a lady...

On Saturday, we got our free Chickfila which was super exciting for me.  I would have snapped a picture, but the 3 seconds it would have taken would have been too much for me.  John and I have plans for Chickfila again this week so I'm excited!  After we finished up our free breakfast, we headed to the Home Depot and got a new table for our patio, a new tree to replace this plant that I loathe, and a couple other odds and ends.

John was very supportive of my want for the removal of the ugly plant.  The ugly plant's evil spawn grew everywhere and it invaded the plants we actually like.  So, he took care of the plant...if you know what I mean:

We got a triple palm (totally it's official name...) and put it in the place of the ugly plant.  You can see it in the corner behind John if you look hard enough.  Plus, I think the HOA decided to put the ugly plant there, so suck it!  Kidding...kind of...

We also painted a trellis, put together a patio table (yay!) and took care of a few other things around the house.  All in all, a productive day.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take final pictures of all of our hard work, so I'll get those up eventually!

I am really starting to like the house.  It's becoming ours.  We've been putting so much work into it.  It makes me sad to think about selling it, but it's not the right house for us to live in long term.  Hopefully for the next house, we'll have one that's just right and we can stay there forever!
