Love In The Garden

A few posts back, I mentioned how hard Mat was working putting up the trellises on our balcony. He had to cut them, arrange them and also painted them all white...back and front and all the sides. Later, he built 4 huge plantar boxes to go with them.

Then we got so caught up with the honeymoon planning that we didn't dedicate any more time to decorating the balcony. The thought of going another summer without being able to use our balcony really got me down, so when the girls suggested we go to the beach for the weekend, I jumped at the chance.

Mat stayed behind to work on music and called to say he was going to make us all dinner when we got back into town. He also said that he had a surprise for me. I thought maybe he was making tacos. When we got home, we saw that dinner wasn't made and Mat was nowhere to be found.

That's when I realized he was on the balcony, which was by the way, completely decorated! He bought all the plants, trees, arranged all the furniture, and he even built a coffee table and bench. I couldn't believe he had done all this in just 2 nights. He started on it as soon as we left and worked until 4am in a rush to finish it in time for our return.

We had a little bbq party that night on our gorgeous balcony for the first time ever and I'm loving how magical it looks back there. It's like a new room! I love my man so much!
