One Down, Many to Go
One year ago this past weekend we moved into our house, and brought home our 4 puppies. I remember how long a school year seemed when I was younger, and how time would just drag, and now a year has gone by faster than I ever imagined, and I just wish I could slow it […]
Looking Back
It’s only been one month since I started my new job, and since making the decision to choose my marriage. In just one short month there have been soooo many changes for us, and things are better than I’d ever imagined. Our marriage was already improving, but with my new job K (the husband) was able […]
Tree Trimming
When we moved into our house we were very excited to see this apple tree in our backyard. Little did we know it’s branches were so long they scraped against our master bathroom window if it was windy, like a horror film. I was convinced we were about to be murdered with every storm. K […]

Music Room Makeover

Homeowner Horrors – Leaky Disposal Edition
K (the husband) and I were so excited to buy our house, and had these huge dreams of fixing it up, a gorgeous backyard, and just making it our dream home within the first couple of years. In these amazing dreams we forgot to account for all of the repairs, and things breaking, and maintenance that […]
