Well, Beau did complete (most) of his lofty goals from the last post. We got the house put back together just in time for Monique's shower. It's amazing how effective a deadline can be. The shower was really nice, and everything went perfectly. Eventually there will be pictures, but we haven't gotten around to it yet (maybe I need a deadline for that too...). The den furniture isn't exactly where we'd like it, but there's time to fix that. Maybe one day, we'll even buy some furniture of our own!

We weren't able to get the sod laid, and it's probably too hot now to do it, so that will have to wait until late summer. Next on the spending list is to get some trees taken down. There are 2 or 3 that give us concern, and for my peace of mind, I need them gone before the middle of August.

Beau and I are headed to H-town for the 4th, and can't wait to see all of his family. I'm sure it will be a calm and relaxing weekend.
