The Fruits of Our Labors

Remember the post about getting rocks back in April? Well, this is what we've been up to since then. We had thought we would do a post every week or two to show our progress, but all you get is the finished product. We love it now, but about two weeks ago we had serious doubts. Thanks to lots of hard work by Jer, many evenings off us both working til the sun went down and then by porch light, and some help with sod and putting rocks in the parks strips from both our families, we got it all done. We have already enjoyed a couple of BBQ's with family and friends and look forward to many more.






As far as a life update, all is well. I started a new job working for a law firm as nuseparalegal. It has been very interesting and a nice change of pace. I am also still working in Labor and Delivery, and I find myself enjoying my work there more too. The old saying absence makes the heart grow fonder also applies to work I guess. Jer had an interview with a medical consulting firm that has a branch in Mountain Green, so we are keeping our fingers crossed for that.

I am still fighting the good fight trying to find an answer to my headaches. Many people know I get them, but I think I do a pretty good job of functioning despite a headache of some level more often than not. It is when I have a headache free day that I realize how much more I can and want to do, and how these stupid migraines limit me. Sunday was such a day... and I will admit that I was naughty and organized my pantry and deep cleaned my fridge during "nap time" after church. It really did start innocently enough, just trying to clear a spot for the rice cooker, but I did get a little carried away. I have an appointment at a headache clinic in Salt Lake at the end of this month, and I am hoping they have some ideas.

We are headed to Island Park over the weekend of the 24th with the Nielsen family. It is always nice to get away and relax, and Jer can once again try to see a moose in the wild. He has the WORST luck when it comes to trying to see a moose.
