Life is good, God is good :-)

Hi! I know it's been a few weeks since I've posted, and I'm sorry for that. I have lots of pictures on my camera to download and post, maybe I'll get to that in the next few days.
First of all, God is so good. :-) So, we got all of our tax refund deposited last week and we couldn't feel more blessed. As of Friday, April 17, we are debt free! (except for the house debt) All credit cards are now balance free and it feels so good! We didn't think that at our age, and just having bought a house, that we would be in this position. The best part is, we still have quite a bit left over from our refund so that we can start the big projets at the house. This week we will be ordering our wood flooring, buying our slider for the dining room to go out to the backyard, and start more seriously picking out what granite we want for our kitchen. I can't wait!
We painted our living room, hallway and guest bathroom a little over a week ago. We didnt realize how "peachy" the original color was until we painted over it! Our condo had browns, reds and gold colors and we are going totally different this time around. We picked a very light grey (almost white) and a darker grey for our living room. We used the dark grey on 2 smaller walls as an accent color. Our guest bathroom was baby blue and now it's a cool yellow. Yesterday we went to SLO and bought curtains for our living room, some sheer light blue/grey. That will make a big difference one we hang those up and get our new white wood blinds. It's all coming together little by little and we are having a blast.
My garden/yard is thriving, I'm proud to say. I haven't killed anything yet! :) The previous owners had everything in such great condition I was worried about upkeep. My tomatoes are getting tall and I can't wait to have some fresh tomatoes! I have already used my chives, mint, cilantro and dill - I love having fresh herbs right in my backyard. My blackberry plants are growing like crazy - I have a feeling I'll have more blackberries than I know what to do with - so watch out I'll be giving them away! Yesterday I picked about 5 heads of lettuce worth and a big bundle of green onions, and there is still plenty in the garden. I'm loving it. :)
Caleb's dad was able to come down from Sacramento and visit us this last weekend. It is always nice to have company in our new home. Caleb is very close with his dad and brothers so any time he gets to see them is great. :) On Saturday I went to Riverside (there & back in one day) with my mom & grandma for a joint baby shower for my aunts, so Caleb and his dad had the whole day (with this GORGEOUS weather!) to go to Avila Beach and hang out together. Everything worked out nice.
So that is life lately, like I said I'll try to get some pictures soon.
