Our First Visitors

This past weekend Erica's parents got to come in town and spend a few days with us. We had an awesome time and are really glad that we finally had visitors come stay in our new house. The first thing we wanted to do was to take them downtown and show them Greenville in the Fall. The weather here is perfect (if you like the cold) and the scenery is just beautiful. One of the fun places we got to go to was the "famous" general store. Outside we all decided to take pictures with the toy soldier.




There are so many great places to take pictures in downtown Greenville so we tried to take as many as we could.





The Garzas fell in love with the ambiance of Greenville much like we have. It definitely has a small town feel but is still a fairly large place.

Since it was so cold outside we almost had to build a fire and enjoy the weather.

We had to take a picture of the guys with the new grill.

On Sunday everybody was in a working mood and since our yard and shrubbery needed a lot of attention we spent a good chunk of the day working. We trimmed all the bushes, cut lots more limbs down, dug out all the old pine needles, extended the edges, put in mulch and made everything look 100% better.



Here are the women working hard in the yard.

You can tell where we extended it so that we are much cleaner lines.


The homeowners in front of the completed yard!


I still have to put up Christmas lights but we went ahead and got stuff for the front door!

All in all it was a fantastic weekend. We had a fun time hanging out with family and look forward to more family and friends coming to visit in the future! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holidays.
