It looks like, at the very least, we'll be spending another winter in Seattle. News hit us this week that Desi wasn't going to be getting transferred anytime soon to Washington, DC. They want her out there, and we want to be out there, but things move slow and we're learning to adjust to their timeline instead of expecting them to adjust to ours.
Meanwhile, Mike is still working temp at a medical records job. He's planning on being there until August 1st at which time they can extend his contract or he could be reassigned. He's also looking into taking some art classes to strengthen his portfolio for the next round of college applications.
Additionally, we've finally started some renovations on our house. We sledgehammered the back sidewalk and turned it into a planting bed where we hope to grow vegetables and herbs. We're also putting up a side privacy fence and plan on turning the side yard into an extension of our back patio. We're really motivated now and look forward to turning our backyard into outdoor living space. We have such a nice yard, with grand old growth cedars, but we are never really out there to take advantage of the space. Hopefully, with these renovations that will change.

Good luck! Yard work is so hard.
I've always dreamed of having a backyard/outdoor living space like that. You'll have to post some before and after pics.
I don't think I've ever seen your backyard.
