WE HAVE GRASS!!

Oh my goodness gracious! We have been waiting 7 months for sod! It's finally here!!

Brad and I moved into our newly built house in November of last year. The weekend that we moved into the house, we found out that we would not be getting sod due to the fact there there was none to be had! Since there was a drought here in Iowa, the sod that was being laid in people's yards ran out very quickly.That meant...no sod for us...or anyone else in our neighborhood that had built around the time we had.

However, this June we FINALLY got our sod!! They came to our neighborhood on a Monday, prepped the yard all day, brought the sod in on Tuesday, and then... there was grass - in our yard. Hallelujah!

We've been watering it and watering it and watering it. It's starting to look really good and hopefully it will take root soon and start growing like crazy! We've had some interesting days and nights doing the "Sprinkler Dance," but we are more than excited to finally have some grass! In a few weeks, the fence will go up and the dogs will be free! (Well, they'll be free to run around inside the fence.) I took a few pictures (after it rained all day today Woohoo!) and will be keeping everyone updated on our new grass as well as the landscaping that we plan on doing ourselves!
