Our first child was born in October of 2010. Time is flying by and he is changing so much! This blog is dedicated to documenting all the special moments and milestones we share together as a family.

Landscape Project

The Karamesic household does not buy anything on credit (with the exception of our home).  This is really the way to go, but I have a hard time patiently waiting for home projects to get done.  A major project we were waiting for was finishing the patio.  We usually accomplish one large home project a year.  This year it was finally time for pavers and landscaping!  Here is what our patio looked like before:




     

A lot of dirt!  We thought pavers would look nice, provide a space for Bean to play, and a space for Amel and me to relax. On the recommendation of one of Amel's coworkers, we went with Outdoor Lifestyles Landscaping.  The owner told us it would be a two day job.  We thought he was being over enthusiastic, but he was right!





Take a look at the end result!

There are still a few things in the works for the patio: A lemon tree, more flowers, a little garden space, maybe a fountain, and a chicken coop (yep, you read that right).  I think the pavers turned out beautifully and look forward to hanging out on the patio.  Patience pays off in the end!
