We finally have a "backyard"!


God has blessed us with a beautiful new home here on Weston Circle- where we have lived almost a year now. But we always dreamed of making the ski slope (our backyard) into something more practical. Mowing the steep incline wasn't Jamie's favorite hobby, so we decided to have a deck built over the steepest part of the hill. It is SO wonderful to be able to step out the backdoor and actually be able to take more than a few steps. We now have some patio furniture that we've enjoyed some dinner on and Jamie put a fire pit in the bench area (of course Jamie has to incorporate fire anywhere he can). We even roasted marshmallows last night and made smores! And, yes, there is still a good section of steep hill to the right of the porch- just enough for some good sledding this winter!
