I can’t tell you how excited I am to have minimal plans and no house guests this weekend. It has been a whirlwind summer and this feels like our first weekend to breathe in a long time. I’m hoping to take the kids to the beach, grill outside, and just chill for a hot second. I’m hoping to even get a workout in which feels like a big reach for a weekend day but goals.
Our new sliding back door is being installed today and the shutters and final pieces of our siding project are being done tomorrow which means I can finally share the before and after photos with you all very soon. It is looking so beautiful, ahh!
