I have a new job…I work at Lowe’s Corporate Office and I am liking it a lot more now that I am done with training and know what I am doing. 
Adam is one happy camper now that I am working again… but mostly about where I work. Why? Because I get a 10% discount at Lowe’s and Adam has been coveting – nay dreaming about owning one of these.
Of course I brought up the “Well what if we move and live in a house with a tiny yard? We will have wasted all the money to buy it.”
To which he responded: “I could never live in a house without a yard.”
Ok…we will see. Anyway, I let him win the argument (I wanted one too) and we went to pick it up today. It was a really fun purchase to make but our pockets feel a lot lighter now. 
Here is after we got it home and off the truck…somehow.
Putting on the bagger:
Posing with the mower:
Looking Tough:
Looking…um….not so tough
Showing his excitement:
The first start up…. (Warning…I sound totally dorky but I was really excited.) Dad – you may recognize the look in his eyes part way through the video…..think Great America.
Doesn’t he look happy??? I love making him happy:
BUT if I cannot make him happy all the time, he can go out to the shed and stare or sit on his new riding lawn mower.
The best part is that it will totally cut down on the time it used to take us to push mow the lawn (3 hours) and blow the leaves (a ton of time) since we got the bagger for the back as well if you couldn’t tell. Our lawn looks great, my man is feeling awesome, and I get to ride it every once in a while. AWESOME!

Dude! Your wife is so cool, Adam. My wife doesn’t even let me use our push lawn mower, let alone get my own to RIDE.

Where the heck have you been? I tried to call you back the other day and I just got to leave a message. I sure do hope that you are both doing fine and that you are just busy!!! Sure do love you. Less than two months till you are here. Cienna, Majel and Ethan were here yesterday swimming in the big pool. Cienna hollered from the diving board, “I’m going to do a dive like Uncle Adam.” I guess that will be indelibly imprinted on that awesome mind!!!
Love,
Momba
