Happy one year of home ownership to us! It's so hard to believe that just one year ago we got the keys to the kingdom, ha! I remember the day clearly...we started with breakfast in the 'burbs, went to our closing, drove immediately to our house and laid on the carpet in the empty family room smiling ear to ear.

We have taken on many projects since we moved in, some big and some small. Over the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing some before and after pics of our home. One year in, we are nowhere near completion of all the updates (again, big and small) that we want to make. But, we have definitely made progress and the house feels like our home. And, summer project season is coming. ;-)
Here's the first project I'll share...the outside of our home. We've updated the light fixtures with chunkier, more modern fixtures that are solar. We love them. They automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn. I love coming home to lights on when Scott is out of town! We also added some character to our garage door with a hardware kit. We think both these updates make a big difference in the curb appeal. Still on the to do list: paint the front door a brighter color (bright blue or red - cannot decide!!), get the lawn and landscaping in better shape and add a storm/screen door for ventilation in the house.

We'd be remiss not to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us with home updates along the way. Our home would not be in the shape it's in today without tons of help from our family!
