Come on in, the water's fine

Another day, another decision made... After work last night we went to the pool place, Sundance Pool and Spa, to start working on the design and such for the pool for our new home. At first I was not excited about this. It is the middle of the holiday season, I had cards to write and things to do, and this just did not seem like it was of the utmost importance. Well, I was WRONG.

We ended up combining the first two appointments into one, and not only did we get to tell the design guy what we wanted in a pool, but we got to be a part of designing it. We said, " how about a curve here?" "how about some length there?" We took a very active role in designing the pool. THAT was cool. AND, the guy said it was good we came in now, cause prices go up after the first of the year. Dodged that bullet nicely.

One feature we put in was something called a "wet deck". The first step, only 6 inches deep, goes out about 3-5 feet. Long enough for a chaise or a chair, to sit kind of in the water and keep ya cool and read a book. They are even putting a "hole" in for an umbrella to fit in. Ken and I both looked at eachother and laughed -- "yes Teri, that can be your spot."

Anyway, now that that is done, I can continue to marvel at all the things I have not finished doing yet -- wrapping gifts, shopping, sending out cards, oh yeah! and buying a tree...
HO HO Fricking HO.

You know... until you mentioned the chair, I didn't think it was that amazing but that's pretty darn cool. As someone that doesn't like staying in the pool much, I could definitely see Teri in that spot surrounded by a bunch of inflatable tubes.

Are you imagining Teri in a bikini again Martin? Or is that just me...
