Out in the Garden

The best thing about this move is definitely the yard. We lived in an apartment before so we had a small balcony with a great view, but it doesn't compare to being able to work outside in your own yard. The dogs definitely love it too, I can tell a difference in their behavior since they get to spend so much time outside now. Especially Dugg who is normally pretty hyper. 

I have definitely started to develop a love for gardening! We planted several flowers this weekend & plan to slowly start planting more as we get settled in. Of course we are in Texas and it's already hot here most days, but I can't wait til it's officially spring! It's my second favorite season (Fall being the first) I just love all the colors of the flowers that bloom. 

 

These Persian Buttercups are one of new favorite flowers! I just think they are beautiful!
 I love flowers that are full & bright. 


'Nami loves laying out in the sunshine while I work, we just have to work on her bad habit of eating plants! She ate an Aloe Vera plant my mom gave me, and over the weekend one of the new flowers I planted just completely disappeared from the garden! My main worry is she will eat something poisonous.


These pretty little flowers are the ones that are now MIA... I'm bummed. 



She's definitely contemplating what to eat next... lol



Flower is getting older now & so she mostly keeps to herself when we're out
 in the yard, but I can tell she enjoys it as well. 


 These are Hubby's favorite so far! He picked up several of these to plant around the yard, a couple have lost their tops though... can you guess what happened?? lol 



Why hello there!

It's been quite a while since I've blogged. Life has been hectic & crazy, and actually has done a complete 180 since I've been on. Hubby is out of the Navy, we made our journey all the way back to Texas, & we are now starting the next chapter & trying to re-adjust to life in the civilian world. It's not easy since we're used to doing everything the Navy's way, but we're getting there.

Hubby just started his new job yesterday, he's now working with an oil rigging company, which means even longer hours than when he was in the military... I never thought it was possible to see less of my husband, but turns out it is! No more deployments though, so I can't complain!

We've added another new member to our family since I last blogged. This is Tsunami, our Boxer. We've had her for almost a month now & she's definitely a handful! She loves to go out in my garden and eat my flowers... we're working on it though.


Our duggy just turned one year old, he's turned out to be an awesome & beautiful little dog!


Here is our new house, it's a work in progress & it's also very gloomy today so excuse the horrible picture...



I am slowly trying to pretty it up with flowers & decorations, I feel like there is never enough time in the day lol between my business, 3 puppies, and my hubby! 


So far life is pretty normal & not much excitement, but I promise for more exciting posts to come!! [:
