1 year blog anniversary and a sneak peak

December 28, 2011 5 Comments

Well, it was actually yesterday but I was so tired I didn’t move from the couch for most of the day. It has been a long and crazy year but it is so worth it. We closed on this house on the 21st of December last year. Most of our friends and family thought we had lost our minds especially when the house was looking like this. I started this blog with this post thanks to my cousin, JandJHome‘s encouragement. I’ve had so much fun documenting the journey and sharing it with all of you. I can’t wait to see what this year brings. 


We’ve been slaving away and I have tons of photos and posts that I’m working on for this week but here is a sneak peak of some of the massive changes we’ve made just in the last two weeks. 


One year ago today the front of our house looked like this…. 

And as of this morning, the front of the house looks like this. Can you believe it is the same house?

Okay, now I’m off to edit all the rest of the photos and get some posts drafted. I’ll be back soon 🙂
