What I overheard while at my cube the other day....

I bought the Apple stock and it keeps going higher and higher. [pause] What's this iPod thing anyway?

So I've taken on a mini-summer project to build a patio.  You heard right.  A patio.  Here is the before picture and what I hope to transform it into. 

Current backyard

Future patio

Who wants to help?   

Before you comment, keep this in mind: "Correction does much, but encouragement does more."

Ok, so there won't be mountains, a lake, a forest, or a deck the size of my living room, but a girl's allowed to dream!  Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have put such an elaborate photo or else when you see the finished product you'll be disappointed. 

Revive Me
Jeremy Camp

Consider my affliction and please deliver me
Plead my cause and redeem me
Salvation is not for the wicked
For they don't seek your word
Great are your tender mercies Lord

Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, that I may seek your word
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, oh Lord

You give me understanding
According to your word
Great peace for those who seek your face
I long for salvation
My lips shall praise your name
I rejoice in the treasure of your keep

Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, that I may seek your word
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, oh Lord

For all my ways are before you
I let your hand become my help
My soul longs and adores you
Let my cry come before you oh Lord

Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, that I may seek your word
Revive me, according to your loving kindness
Revive me, oh Lord

Oh, Revive me
Revive me
