The Milkbarn Path

Before fall came, Clay was determined to design and construct a walkway to the Milkbarn.

Yay!!!

Because we had a very narrow, shoddy

(what? shoddy at the milbarn? *gasp*),

 unevenly paved sidewalk to the front door which we knew needed a serious redo.

 We bought the pavers from Lowes awhile ago and had them piled up in front of the house for months. 

FYI, voles make homes under pavers.  

Doesn't it look awesome?

Nice, wide, perfect curve and now easy to shovel when the snow comes.

The curve looks just right against the angles of the house.

I planted some tulips under the trees and near the front door. 

I'm not holding my breath that anything will come up given my gardening expertise. 

But again, I do believe in miracles. :)

Truth!!

1600 Sq. ft and going strong...and now with a pathway!

I was trying to think of all the photos that have a pathway or walkway in them. 

Here we are at the Fort Collins Temple Open House,

 by the front walkway.

The pathway here leads me to come closer to God, my family and closer to my heart, if that makes sense.

Here is Chester's chosen path, it's like football called him before this life. 

Waiting on our path for the school bus for our 1st fall morning.

Fog comes to Colorado about 3 times a year.

My pathway into motherhood. 

I forgot how small and busy we all were. 

Now they are big and way busier...and I am happier than I thought I would ever be. 

I love it.

On the path together with Clay.

This path started all the other ones:)

Clay sent this to me a few weeks ago, here I am towards the beginning of Chester's life.

 I can't wait to see what paths all my babies take one day.

I thought my path was here.

But sometimes our path in life takes detours and those detours can teach us to be better, smarter, courageous and flexible. 

Detours are necessary to gain knowledge.

Here is our current path.

See how good this pathway looks on us right now?

Every path leads to opening a door.

Sometimes even a cute blue door.

(seriously, about that exterior paint job?

patience Jennifer, patience...)

My Mom would always tell me,

 "when one door closes, another one opens in life."

Have a good weekend!

The next project to report on is that mudroom 

that is making me amazing.

lolololololololol.
