The Pond

This pond has been....to say the least...a big pain in the butt!!

We started about 4 years ago (2007)
My dad dug a hole, put in the tarp paper and filled it up. We added some rocks and this is what we ended up with.

Nothing too exciting. But we had a pond!
Well, the plain look of the pond and the placement of the rocks were too much for me. So I had to get out there and fix them.
Again....
...and again...

and then AGAIN!

I finally got it looking how I thought it should.
In the process of one of the fixes of the pond, we found a little friend. My dad almost got him with the lawn mower but we saved him

Now back to work...

And finally after 4 years and lots and lots of stress....
We have a completed pond. Even most of our fish made it through all the changes. 
This pond is not coming apart this time. We made sure of that!

Next to Normal

Kelsi and I started a new season at Pioneer Theatre! Our first play was Next to Normal. I had no idea what it was about but I have liked all of the plays so I didn't expect anything different for this one. And I was right! I LOVED it! I cried like a little baby too. It was awesome! I am looking forward to all of our plays this season! Its such a great deal and a cheap way to get out of the house for a mini girls night.
