I am not the greatest at blogging, obviously. I have only posted one, and it was in July! How sad. Regardless, Ashton and I are still doing great. Marriage is awesome, especially when you get to be married to your best friend. Everyone says that, but if you could see how much fun we have, how silly we are together, and how we honest to goodness don't fight, you would not waste time on people who don't make you completely happy every single day. (cough cough my siblings....) We started yet another semester in August, which I am happy to say is almost over. Next month, actually almost exactly a month from today, I graduate from NMSU with a Bachelors in Business Management... Wooooo! I am not sure what the future holds for us after that. I have been applying for jobs, looked into grad school, and even got a more permanent position here in Pomerene, but nothing feels quite right. Who knows, maybe it's time to stop being selfish with my husband and share him with someone else. ;) Ashton's school is going well; in fact, he got a 101% on his last Chemistry exam. I like to brag on that. :) Anyhow, we are super busy, but nothing to really talk about on here. In the last few months, we have went deer hunting, took a trip to California, built bumpers, enjoyed friends' weddings, went camping, and hung out in Duncan a bit. The thing I really wanted to blog about, though, was our garden from this summer! When we moved into this house, it had been empty for some while. It was winter, the dried up weeds were a little crazy, and there was nothing growing outside except for trees. I have some before (which is technically right after we planted everything) and after pictures, so take a look at all of our hard work... :)
Before:
Our Watermelon/Grape spot:
Our Garden Rows-
My flowers :) They were already up here but they bloomed later
Our grass... it took us many weeks, several plantings, and the whole thing rototilled before we could even get this much.
Watermelons/cantalopes/grapes again
Garden rows again (Sorry they are out of order!)
And our grass from a different angle
After:
These were taken at the end of summer so the weeds were a little out of hand at this point and most of the vegies were picked, but still...
The watermelon/cantaloupe area was the most overgrown at this point, but there is definitely fruit there :)
Our garden. You can see the corn, okra, and more watermelons from this angle.
...and then squash, zucchini, and the rest from this view.
This is my favorite, our grass:
...and again.
And my flowers that bloomed :)
The fruits of our labor :) We had tons of veggies and fruits coming off every week. Awesome, right??
