My first Blog!!

Wow~ is this weird, I'm almost nervous about my very first blog?! LOL....it's exciting! I feel like maybe I should call my mom or something! Anyways, the purpose of this blog is to document my lastest adventure/project. Not really for others to see it, (although it would be super exciting if anyone wanted to follow!!), but more for my own enjoyment. So here it is.....I'm going to build a tiki bar for my backyard! ALL-BY-MYSELF! LOL! "Why???", you might ask. Well, let me tell you. I've really been wanting a big gazeebo in my backyard. We have a huge backyard, but its blah and so Dave and I never spend time out there. Our kids, along with the neighbor boys have turned it into a warzone....digging massive holes and building forts for several years now. The yard is sectioned into 2 parts by a fence with a gate. So my plan is to fix up the back half, so that us "grown ups" have a nice place to lounge....while the kids can have the front half to play in! We can sit and watch from our pretty, non-militant side. My AMAZING husband has decided that for my birthday he is goig to build me a gazeebo! I am sooooo stoked! Now I'm thinking of all kinds of wonderful ideas to go along with the gazeebo. Thus, I came up with the idea of a TIKI BAR!! I am going to do it all alone, no man help at all...lol. ( ok, maybe a secret phone call to dad once in a while if I need advice...lol) So, my birthday is in JULY...that gives us about 4 months for him to build a gazeebo and me to build a tiki bar. I will document it all on here. Wish me luck!! Hopefully in about 4 months you'll hear the sweet sounds of some Bob Marley and the buzz of a blender coming from my backyard. "hmmmm....is that salt and lime I smell??"
