We purchased our home in June of 2008, and have been busy making it our own ever since. For those of you who don't know, we purchased our home from my parents. That's right, this is the house that I grew up in! It's almost surreal. I have so many memories in this house that I don't think I could ever bear selling it. Anyway, back to the reason for my post...
We have been staying busy all summer long with home improvement projects. Most recently, we have put hardwood flooring down in the living room, master bedroom, and office; ceramic tile in the bathroom, dining room, and kitchen; purchased new appliances; replaced the bathroom vanity; painted EVERY room (twice now); replaced the shingle roof on the garage and outbuilding with a new metal roof. We have completed ALL of these projects within the last 6 months, thanks to Jeff! Our original goal was to get the majority of our projects done before the holidays arrived, and we did it! Our last remaining project is replacing the carpet upstairs, but that will have to wait until spring. It is such a feeling of accomplishment to get all of these tasks completed, and get our home to FEEL like home! Next year, the majority of our projects will be outside (landscaping, retaining wall, etc).
On another note: CAN YOU BELIEVE CHRISTMAS IS ONLY 74 DAYS AWAY! I am SO ready to decorate!!! I have already purchased 3 gifts, which is TOTALLY unlike me... I usually complete all of my shopping in December.
