Today is Monday... only twenty-four hours to go. I can't wait. Everything better work out correctly or I am going to go crazy. Not that crazy is a bad thing...
Here is our list for the back yard so far. We are still looking for other suggestions. Please throw in all your serious and crazy ideas!
rock garden
spa
fruit orchard (Oranges, Lemons, Nectarine, Peach, Guava, Apples)
Shade Trees (Ash, Maple, Liquid Amber, Eucalyptus, Red Oak, Chinese pistache, Magnolia and sycamore)
patio
built in BBQ
Firepit
Normal Grass (maybe noMow)
Garden
Planter Garden
Bamboo
Trelace above the fence with grape and blackberries (for privacy)
We will probably use flint slate with dark brick boarders for the paths.
The planters, firepit, and walls will probably have flint slate toppers.
We are going to go to Home Depot and Orchard Supply today to get ideas for other stuff and to see what else we need to buy in the way of tools. Our essentials list is:
Lawn Mower
Shovel(s)
Rakes(s)
Broom
Hose
Wheel Barrow
Bucket(s) (maybe something big enough to dye couch cusions in)
Blinds (probably plantation shutters)
Non-essential:
Edger
Leaf Blower (don't need that till we have leaves)
Closet Organizational stuff (clear drawers)
Baker's Rack
Pot Rack
Rugs
Fake Owl to scare birds
Patio and lawn furniture
Ceiling Fans (all our rooms are pre-wired)

Do not do bamboo - it takes over the whole yard and is impossible to get rid of. It is worse than a weed. Take it from someone who knows. =) I like the guava tree idea!
