Backyard

Our backyard was one of the biggest selling points of our new house when we first saw it. It is huge and insanely overwhelming. We have grapefruit, orange, lemon, fig, avocado and peach trees. It sounds amazing (and it is), but apparently in order for them to flourish, you have to take care of them! We have no idea how to do that! My mom's BF, who is like my aunt has a ton of fruit trees, so we may need to have her come over for "fruit tree boot camp" (ever heard of it? :).  Every time Morgan and I are in the backyard we say '" I love this house" and we really do.  I fall deeper in love with it everyday.  You can faintly hear the church bells chiming from down the street and at night you can hear the trains in the canyon.  We never thought we would actually own our own home and it is just now feeling real.  Stella is obsessed with the backyard.  I remember the first time we brought her to the house, we took her in the backyard and let her loose.  She ran around, yelled at trees and it was actually then that I knew this house was supposed to be ours.  I feel so lucky, happy and proud that I can give this to my girl.  She deserves it.
