YIPPIE!!!

I am slightly excited, for a few reasons.

1. Three-day weekend starts this afternoon. Yeeehaw!

2. Matt turned in his first grad school assignment last night and he did an awesome job. And, he finished at 9pm instead of the projected 11pm. Way to go, Matt!

3. Last night on Facebook, I saw the status of a local friend that had some extra sod - 400 sq feet of it. It was up for grabs for free! I jumped on that so fast and got word that we could pick it up tonight. Now, we have tried once already to seed this specific patch on the front of our house. Weeds overtook it all within one week. We were so discouraged - it was hard work!
So as you can see here, this area behind us in the picture is going to look so beautiful with that new grass! And, the neighbor right next door is getting ready to put his house on the market, so we knew that getting our lawn done on that side would really help the sale of it. All we will have left is the other side, which I will go on the weed attack this weekend. It is good exercise!

4. I get to spend time with this guy this weekend:
I saw this photo on my dad's Flickr page, he must've snuck this pic when they were visiting with us recently. Matt's folks visit my blog from overseas often, so I like to put up pics of their boy on here...well, and it is for my enjoyment too :)

5. Date Night tonight! I think we are catching a movie, and one of Matt's co-workers also owns a frozen yogurt place so we are hitting that up :)

6. I am excited for a 13-mile run this weekend - because it is always amazing that we can pull that off. (Marathon is 8 weeks away!)

7. We will get caught up on stuff this weekend. This holiday weekend is a "staycation" for us for just that reason. To get ahead in house work, lawn work, school work = more time to just hang out and rest together later!

I hope you all have an awesome Labor Day weekend! ;)
