Howdy from Alberta!

Yay for finally starting this blog!!!!! 

I'm super excited about sharing bits and pieces of things going on in our little lives with everyone!

It's currently springtime here in sunny Alberta and I'm loving it! The sun is rising super early in the morning(around 5:30am) and sets quite late in the evening(around 9:30pm). I absolutely love the longer days.  Spring time is definitely beautiful here. It takes things a little longer to green up here than in Texas, and it can still get pretty cool. Overall I'm a fan:) I intended on beginning this blog before winter started so that I could fill all of my Texas family and friends in on how I was surviving. Fortunately for me it was very mild this year! It did get pretty cold at one point, but I was home in Texas during that time. What a shame I missed it:)

Over the past month Mark and I have been spending most of our time working on the backyard. Mark and his brothers put down sod a few weeks ago and it looks so good. We got quite a bit of moisture over the past few weeks so it's really taking off! Mark also built four beautiful cedar planter boxes for our raised garden we will be planting soon. I planted some flowers in pots and have them out on the back deck.

Sweet Bella has really enjoyed her new space outside too! Before the sod was put down she enjoyed digging in the fresh topsoil that we spread. We had quite a few laughs at the little trenches she would make in the yard! Now she is enjoying relaxing in the grass:)

Here she is relaxing after a long day of sleeping on the couch...

No doubt about it, she's spoiled!

Once we get everything complete I will share some more pictures for sure!
Hope that everyone has a great week!
