One Year

Wow, I can't believe it's been an entire year since I posted. Life gets so busy and crazy and hectic and I miss the opportunity to write about all that is going on in our family, but I couldn't let today go by without recognizing the significance of this day. Today, December 18th, marks 1 year since we moved into our new home! People still ask us all the time how the "new house" is and it still feels new so it's hard to believe that we've already spent a year here. Kevin and I still talk about how we managed to fit 5 of us in a 2 bedroom condo for as many years as we did. We've quickly filled up this home with our things and our memories. We've made it our own but have countless ideas how to make it even more ours. Every time we talk about changing wallpaper or refacing cabinets, I have to remind myself that this is our forever home and we have many years to make all of that happen. This past year has been full of lessons. If you don't know how to do something, try YouTube. Don't be scared to ask for help. If you have things you haven't seen in years, it's probably okay to let them go now. Unless they are wedding presents you never got to use and then you better have people over so you can serve them on your beautiful dishes. We've met a lot of great people and made new friends, had a housewarming the size of a small wedding and hosted our first Thanksgiving. It's been amazing so far and we feel extremely lucky to have found our dream home. A big thanks to everyone who has visited, helped, and asked about our house and we look forward to many more years here! And maybe we'll eventually unpack those last few boxes in the garage.
