Happy Anniversary!!

House anniversary, that is.  Today (December 28) is our one year anniversary of being in our new house.  A year ago today, Jill came to the house armed with Dr. Peppers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, ready to help the kids and I “get moving”. :)  And move we did.  By the afternoon, Halter Gas was here with the LP and hooked the water heater and furnace up.  Heat and hot water meant we could sleep here!  That was an unbelievably awesome feeling, and it is so nice to look back on that date today and think about how far we’ve come in a year.  We still have the landscaping and deck to do, as well as a small storage building, but those are already in the works for this spring and summer. 

So we’re pleased as punch to be celebrating our one year anniversary.  And having finally received our first time homebuyers tax credit (plus interest) in the mail yesterday from the IRS makes this anniversary even sweeter! :)  Yes, it finally came and we have big plans for it.  So look for plenty of landscaping and outdoor projects once warmer temps roll in a few months from now.  We can’t wait to get started!

An important anniversary

One year ago today, this was happening:

The House Arrives!

Click on the link and reminisce with us today.  As I’ve said many times before, I would not change a thing about this house.  I love it all.  And I can remember seeing the back half of the house coming down the road, and being so excited to see it for real.  Not just on a two-dimensional floor plan, but see it in real life.  Words cannot describe it.

So take a walk down memory lane with us today.  :)
