Creating a Zen-like Retreat

It's been a long time since my last blog and so much has happened. New home and a future addition to the family. I've had a lot on my mind these days.

Our search for a home was long and frustrating. We really wanted to stay in North San Diego County. It's a great place to be, plus so close to my work. However, home prices in that area are kind of expensive for us. Anything that's in our range is also in major need of updating. So we caved in and moved further north, closer to my parents. Good thing too, I'll need Mom to watch the baby once I go back to work.

Anyways, I love the house we bought. It was move-in ready for the most part, just needed a couple things. The first thing we did was re-vamp the backyard. It was very "blah" beforehand.


So, we added a wall, some plants and a fountain and voila! It's so much more appealing now. Once the plants fill in it will look even better.
