Guess what we got today!

We are getting so close with being done with our house it isn't even funny. We were told that our move in date will be on the 17th of this month. AHHHHHHH......it has come up on us so fast all of a sudden. I feel like there is just so much left to do and not enough time to get it all done. Okay, let me just set that aside. So today we got to lay our sod. YEA!!!! So awesome, let me tell you. Talk about "instant lawn" people. Like one minute no lawn and the next. BAMB!! Green, full, beautiful grass.

--------Sigh------- so pretty right?

So here is the before........not very much to look at, just a bunch of dirt and rocks. Lots and lots of rocks.

Here is THE sod. I had to get nice and close, can't you just smell it from this pic? NO? Well, I sure can, so there.

Here is a new friend that decided to make our yard his new home.

The pallet of full of roles of grass.

I love this picture. If anyone has ever seen hay bales in the summer will know what I am talking about. It just makes me happy happy happy, and reminds me of home when my dad is doing the crops.

The first few rows.

So I left the fitting and cutting to the boys and I am the one who carried all those rolls to where they needed to be. Yes there were so many rolls that let me tell you. My arms just typing this, hurt so bad. I even picked up the baby and almost dropped the poor boy cause my arms started shaking. Hey, but it was worth it.

Hello grass!!

The crew!! Love all the hard work that they did. Thanks guys.

View of the front of the house.........almost done. YIPPPPEEE

Standing in the front entry, looking out at the street. And yes that is the scraps from our grass party! All in all it didn't take us very long to put the sod down. Yes, cause we are in the culdesac our yard in front is super small might have helped in a big way. It was some hard work, but we are already talking about getting the backyard ready for sod in the next few months. For now though, I will be happy with driving up to a beautiful green lawn.
