Last weekend we did yard work. Friday night, most of Saturday, and all of Sunday. Because of all the raking, bagging, and whatnot, I was too tired to post about our eleven year anniversary.
That's right, eleven years. March 14th marked our ten year wedding anniversary, but March 21, 1998 is the day that Warren strolled into town...and never left!
I was really looking forward to his visit, because he had been a good friend of mine for five years at that point. Little did I know that he was going to sweep me off of my feet and that five days later we would be engaged.
So what happened during those five days? Obviously he did not get me pregnant as many people suspected. He just took care of me. It was abundantly clear that he was a keeper.
For example, last Saturday, on our official eleven year anniversary, Warren took a 7 hour break from yard work to fix my car. I couldn't open the driver's side door for about a week and it was really making me nuts. Warren took the door apart and fiddled around until he discovered a tiny spring that had sprung. He replaced it and then my door started working again! Now granted, it was not fun for him to spend seven hours doing that, but he did it because he is awesome and he loves me.
In our eleven years together, Warren has never once stopped amazing me. There's really nothing this guy can't do!
On Sunday, Warren cut down two small trees in the backyard. With a fence, another tree, and power lines a plenty to thwart his efforts, he methodically and perfectly positioned the falls. The boys and I watched on, camera in hand, for the first one. (Don't worry, the screaming you hear is not the tree!)

Dood, it was the machete! Wait, did he stroll into Memphis with a machete? Good Catch!
Happy anniversary y'all. Looks like you have got yourself a good one.
Whoa... et tu, Brute?
I'm pretty sure that WAS the tree screaming.
Seriously, wait 'til Tree Beard hears about this. I hope your fence doesn't get vandalized.
well, the willow was deformed, diseased, and infested by beetles from being lopped multiple times by the utility company. I was sad about the sycamore, but in another couple of years it would have started doing some damage to the property, and by then I'd probably have to hire a professional. I did plant 7 trees around the house since we moved in though if that makes you feel better.
