Our back patio!

I've been begging Lynar for 2 years now to build a cover over our patio so we could have some shade in our backyard. Well, Father's Day weekend he started this huge project to built a cover for our patio (a pergola). It took him a little over two weeks (two full Saturday's and a few nights in between) to finish the wood part. He painted it on Saturday and finished the project for me!! What a nice birthday present to me!! I love it and it just fits with the back of the house. Lynar is very talented! We have already been discussing our next big project in the house---but we'll wait and do that when it is cooler. We want to enjoy the rest of our summer without projects.

Jen... so glad to find your blog (I can't believe it took this long to get to it :)). I'm excited to keep up with your family through blogging. I love your patio/pergola. It looks so inviting to sit back and enjoy!
