It has been a busy week in the Davis household! We decided after last summer that we wanted to expand our tiny 10'x10' patio to allow for much needed space - to entertain, wash the pup, grill, etc. etc. So, we had a contractor come out on Tuesday and boy did they get to work!! Demo of the old patio was done Tuesday, the form and concrete were done Wednesday, supports were removed Thursday, and irrigation was redone on Friday. Then, viola! A brand new patio! We are so happy about it! Here are some pics I snapped with my iPhone while the workers did their thing:

After the workers left, there was A LOT left for us to do - buy some plants and flowers, soil and mulch, and do a lot of cleaning! We worked hard on the yard all day Saturday, but we think the result was totally worth it :)
{Disclaimer - pardon the mess here and there!}
We are really happy with how it turned out, our little
lima-bean-shaped patio, and we cannot wait to entertain on it. There is still a bit left to do before it is completely finished {put down some more sod, trench the flower beds, blah blah blah} but we did sort of 'christen' it on Friday by cooking out and having dinner on the patio with Taylor and Lindsey, Jackson, and Diana. It was a little chilly but it was a great time. We can see many meals out on that patio of ours.
Aside from all of the construction, we did sneak away Saturday night for Erin's birthday dinner, which was a lot of fun. Afterwards, we met up with friends to celebrate Blake and Whitney's birthdays. It was a pretty good weekend {aside from me being sick today}, but I am actually looking forward to starting this week; I begin my
new job tomorrow and I am pumped! I am really ready for a change, after three and a half years of the same '
ole gig, and I will be sure to let you know how it goes.
Have a great week, everyone!
