Now that spring in Las Vegas is almost over (we only have two seasons ya know...)
I have been thinking to myself…my hubs to be has to be hot hot hot out in the yard.
I wanted to write him a blog to let him know I do take notice to his hard work and how much I appreciate him.
He works 12 hr days at his job and then on his days off he does whatever project I was able to come up with during the week.
You'll never see this man lying around.
Seriously guys, we bought our home 4 short months ago and in that time he has built the horse stalls, ripped out all the weeds in our back yard (and trust me...there was A LOT) tore down a random wood shadder and posts that were in our now arena, dug up the entire arena ground, shoveled the arena ground onto a screen to pull out all the rocks (yes by hand) built a wash rack and this is all excluding all the pipe repair and replacement he has done throughout the house and other things.
And right now, as I'm writing this, he's adding irrigation and lighting to our soon to be lawn and arena.
I told him what I saw in that yard the day we moved in and I can't believe how fast he is making it happen.
He is just amazing.
Hard working.
And just wants me happy.
I needed to write this because I tend to focus on the "uh ohs" that took place during our renovations.
Like...
Knocking down our neighbor’s wall when taking down the wood shadder.
Causing our neighbors (all three) to not have water for 10 hrs when trying to fix our main water line (we are on a community well)
Buying the wrong stucco color when he had to patch a hole on the outside of our home (don't worry its spray painted a completely different white o.O)
Cutting three electrical lines while digging for our sprinklers.
and some other moments but I will stop here.
Although when these.....accidents happened I was frustrated and annoyed I now laughed as I wrote them down.
At the time instead of getting angry I should have thought to myself "will this matter 5 years from now, let alone a few months...or weeks!"
I love him dearly and I can honestly say I have never had someone in my life work so hard on the account of MY happiness and MY dreams.
Yes, he has his heart set on a horse property, but he's doing everything the exact way I said I wanted it when he asked.
What does he get in return?
The random casita that is in our yard.
Currently there is a Jacuzzi inside.
We could make this a gym...possibly a play house for future baby cowboys and cowgirls
But no...it is going to be...and I quote "the rockin' MAD saloon"
Yep.
A bar.
Joy.
I prayed one day I would find the perfect man that supported my dreams of riding and enjoying the rodeo life with me and that is exactly what I got.
He may have retired his rodeo boots but he knows I only just begun.
He's my number one fan, the patience that I don't have, the believer in me when I don't in myself some times, my best friend
This post is to you my love.
Thank you for all you do for me, the horses and dogs...oh and lil' bill!
I love you! xo
