The thrill of home ownership is still exciting to Judd and I. However, I think it has transformed over the past two years from a shear thrill of calling a house our home to a sort of "desperate housewives" suburban community mentality.
How do the not-so-new home owners welcome spring? By beating all of the neighbors to mowing our lawn and watching how the "who has the best yard" competition continues. Within 20 minutes of starting to mow our lawn, Judd ran across the yard to Lucy and I simply to show us that 3 (count that: 3!) neighbors had started to mow after him. Let the suburbanite competition begin!
And to the obsessive, way to nice, neighbor next door who spends more time measuring grass than anything else in life: you'll probably still have the best yard this year but watch out for our secret weapon....Chemdog. There are benefits of not ever cleaning up the dog poo during the past 5 months....
Judd and I have been blessed by having our parents as excellent examples of relationships. I am thankful to have celebrated their 27th anniversary with them this weekend.
