One Year - Home

In all the hustle and bustle of Black Friday yesterday we were also celebrating being in our home for one year! Last year we did just a little bit of Black Friday shopping and then headed home to tear our bed apart and get the chinchillas in their travel boxes and ready for moving day!

This year we were able to shop until we dropped from midnight to 9:30 AM and let me tell you - we dropped!!!

We were able to pick-up lots of great deals on baby clothes and bottles and a few little things for us.

So in honor of being in our home for one year we decided to devote a whole post to OUR HOME!

It is not the same house that we walked into 13 months ago, that is for sure. It was hard to envision all the spiders being gone, all the toilets coming clean, the floors being covered in shiny wood! Flowers in the yard. This house is certainly not the same house it was a year ago.


To prove our point, here are some before and after photos:

Our yard before: The very before which we did not get photo's of, envision basically the walls of the house being torn off and water all over the interior. They pretty much had to replace one whole side of a wall on our house due to the sheeting being installed wrong. So we got all new siding and a wonderful new paint color added to our home! So this before is only of the yard, not of how different the exterior was.

These pictures are only a snapshot of how filthy and spider infested this house was. You are fortunate that I didn't get any pictures of the toilets!!! We have made it into a great home that we are proud of and are looking forward to growing our family in!!!
