Southern Living does a personal/fun story on the last page of their magazine every month. July’s issue was “What Southern Women Want in Men”.

Somewhere on the list was “the ability to build things, i.e. homes, home renovations, etc”. And ya know what? This Southern gal really likes that her man can build things. In the last two months, Jonathan has renovated our basement and then this past weekend he built this:

With the help of two friends, Jonathan constructed our pergola. It is a beauty! I sat outside for part of this afternoon and the porch is nearly completely shaded. It’s wonderful. Kinda like Jonathan. 🙂
