We are finally starting to see progress on our front lawn! It's been a summer project to redo the landscaping around our house, but alas, it is now, for the most part, fall and we still have plenty to do. We are finally hitting stages, however, that prove that we are making progress.

We laid a decent portion of edgers around the south east side of the house and piled in a bunch of wood chips, making a significant difference on the look of the front. Now we are trying to determine how to lay out the north east side, as there will be a walkway we will place in the future. I'm really stoked about the end results. We also laid a good amount of grass seed in the front as it was all tilled. We are eagerly awaiting that to grow. I'll post pictures as soon as I get some of the progress!

• Summer 07 has been really, really, really good for me. Summer 06 I did not care as much for as there was a lot of weird stuff going on. '06 contained New Job, Loss of roommates, buttloads of side work, engagement, no summer events, etc. Munnnndane. '07 is pretty happening and we are taking advantage of every part of it.
• Duluth was a great "Second Honeymoon". I wish we had stayed up there four days instead of three. We took it for what it was, however, and really enjoyed it. Watched enormous tugs come in under the raising bridge, Swam (more waded as it was intensely cold) in beautiful lake superior, ate a ton, shopped, watched a sunrise, laughed and enjoyed each other's company.
• Landscaping is still going on. I still need to take out some rock and we are waiting for a few loads of dirt to fill the sides of the house with.
• Wood trim and painting is also a never-ending project at our place. This year, it seems I lack the panache to get the jobs done. The weeks go by so awfully fast, it's ridiculous.
• Sidework is coming in at a perfect pace. Just enough to get me a little extra cash on the side. I don't need sidework only to survive like I did the last few years, which is a great feeling. I'll display my most recent works once they are complete.
• Jacinda is still the best person to have ever entered my life.
• I think Mafesta finally bit the bullet.
• Fav. Bands are He Is Legend, Drive-By Truckers, Black Keys, Weezer.
• I am still into Coffee, Pictures, Nintendo DS, Smash Bros, Cooking, Gardening, Internetz and Walking.

So there it be. The Summer of 2007 events list.
