Yes, it has been 3 months, but the yard is coming slowly but surely. About a month ago, Jed, Mike and I went out to The Great Salt Lake and filled Jed's truck up with rocks. It was A LOT of work for me, so I can't imagine what those men went through. It was done that afternoon and it turned out AWESOME! Me and Jed never would have been able to do it without Mike. He can like VISUALIZE it.So today, I was thinking, you know, I should really start looking into cement curbing. We've wanted to get it done and so let's get some bids. I had a phone number of a curbing place on the fridge that I put there months ago, so I gave them a call and left a message. Rob, the cement guy, called me back a few minutes later and says "we had a guy cancel today so we could be to your house in 30 minutes and get it done." THIS IS THE REASON WHY I HATE PHONE CALLS. Instead of saying, "I better talk to my husband first" or "how much exactly is it going to be?", I just say, "uh-ok." After I got off the phone I tried like mad to call Jed, but the guy never answers his phone while golfing. What's up with that? 3 hours later I have cement curbing and Jed still has no idea. It turned out good and I think I got a good price...
This is what I want to know: How many husbands out there would be; a) appreciate of such an assertive wife; b) annoyed that she didn't do any shopping around and is such a pushover, but glad that it got taken care of; or c) mad as hell. I'm hoping for a, but I really can handle b too. We'll see!

Looks nice! Don't worry - my hubby is usually a "b" man. Just glad to have it done (and not be the one who had to do it!) =D
I would think he would just be glad it's done and he didn't have to deal with it. It looks great!
Hey Jaime,
If it was a good price i would definitely be happy. It looks awesome. Lenny
Looks great - he should thank you for getting it done in such a timely way!
Very nice looking! Jed's pretty easy going. I pick A.
It really does look great. I think A is the right answer. Dad admits his answer is C, unless it's really nice for a good price.
The curbing looks awesome. I think you got a good price too. I felt like our curbing was one of the best things we did for the money that it cost. It really helps with the trimming and it looks great. I'll bet Jed will think it's great. I'm so hands on with the yard that mom probably wouldn't have done it without me being involved, but I'll bet Jed is happy you got-r-done.
The answer was..... A! He was so happy he gave me a high five and told me how proud he was of getting it done. whew! It helped that it looked good and the price was $100 less than what he expected. If you ever need a curbing guy, I'll give you the name of a great one.
Wow - good job Jaime! I was a little scared, but I'm glad he was happy. It looks so good!!
P.S. Nice job, Mike!
It looks AWESOME with the curbing in!!!!! When do we finish?
Anytime Mike!
