100th post!

I realized we hadn't blogged in awhile and then I realized that we were sitting at 99 posts since we started... leaving the 100th one just waiting to be written! So, although I don't have anything insightful to write about I am going to blog today.

Its been a tough couple of weeks - Dan has been thinking about work stuff and I have been overloaded with deadlines and projects too. My last one is out the door today and I'm really hoping the next couple of weeks go a little bit more smoothly. We are taking some vacation time the week of Memorial Day to be with Dan's sister and her family which will be a nice break from these last few weeks.

We planted grass seed at the lake last weekend, so we're excited to go out there tonight and see if we see any progress... I know it takes awhile for grass to grow but we got it in before the rain (ok during the rain) last Saturday and then we've had sunny days this week so it should have been good growing weather. We might even need to turn on the sprinklers tonight and tomorrow to give it some more mositure. Since this is our first attempt at growing grass we don't have high expectations for this year so we'll be happy with whatever we get and then we'll try and fill it in next summer. Aren't all lawns a work in process? What we'd really like is a lawn that covers the yard, doesn't have a lot of weeds, and one that we can mow every other week.

We also have hung some window treatments in the house. Monica found some great deals on blinds and helped us sew some curtains too. We're going to finish most of them this weekend and then we just have 2 of the big windows still left, but the blinds have been ordered and should arrive at the end of the month. Its nice to see some of the practical things coming together before we have visitors over Memorial Day week.

What else have we been up to? Well, we celebrated Mother's Day with my mom at my sisters last weekend on her birthday on Saturday, and then went to Mankato with Dan's mom on Sunday. We also celebrated my dad's birthday on the 10th, but we're hoping to have dinner with him on his actual b-day next Friday the 23rd.

Summer softball is in full swing (even though our team is really bad) and it will be fun to play sand volleyball every once in awhile with the Momentum group from church.

I am really happy spring has arrived and we're going to enjoy 70's for the next few days.
