done, accomplished, achieved....

i searched my Thesaurus and found many words that describe our emotions after the final brick was laid on our patio project....
*played out. tuckered out. fatigued. overtaxed. haggard. consumed. pooped (yup, that was in there!) sewed up. wound up. satisfied. content. joyful. gleefully. merrymaking. cheerful. PURE JOY!!! yes, we experience all those things. it was a labor of love and moments of asking each other, "what WERE we thinking"!! i posted a few pics of rye and dad laying the last bricks, just hours before the big party! i am so proud of them. thanks guys!
next year we start on the pergola over the eating area. don't tell rye, i haven't sprung that one on him yet. :)
