Our House is 2!

Today our house has turned 2 years old. I can't believe it was 2 years ago today that we signed the papers and moved all of our belongings out of the uhaul and the travel trailer in Arlington (our previous home). We are so glad that we found our home where we did. We have made so many wonderful friends here. And we love that when our family comes to visit they get to stay with us in our home. I can't believe we have been here that long already. Our house warming party 2 years ago was that my side of the family came and celebrated Thanksgiving with us...(So I only had 2 and a half weeks to get the house together)...and this year we get to do it again.

The house already looks so much different than it did 2 years ago. We put blinds throughout the house, put ceiling fans in all of the rooms, built a deck, a shed, a veggie garden(currently we are growing weeds), painted, built shelves, added crown, framed out our bathroom mirrors, put in some chair rail, bought a didning room set (our first thanksgiving our dining room was the luggage room and for Christmas it was the tree room), expanded our entertainment center, replaced our pantry and front doors...and believe it or not I still have a pretty long list of projects to do. The only bad thing about the 2 year anniversary is that our home warranty has expired :(

2 yrs ago
OK...So the pictures don't look that different, mostly in the back yard and inside, but the bushes have grown, the grass is a little greener and the new front door is up.
