Mini Vacation
Patrick and I took off last weekend to have some fun! I went to Charleston, South Carolina for a bachelorette party weekend while Patrick went to Charlotte, North Carolina to hang out with the bachelor, his best friend.
It was such a nice vacation and will probably be our only one until they get married in Napa Valley, California this October. We can’t wait!
Weekend pics to come!
First Working Weekend
My parents came in town last Saturday to help as we begin renovations and improvements to our “new” house. It took a little while to get started but we were able to make some good progress…….much thanks to mom and dad!! They are both retired and were able to stay through most of the week to continue working on the house while we went to work at the office!
Hardwood Floors
We had the hardwood floors refinished. They look great!
Take a look at the before and after.
Living room before…. heart pine
Living room after!
Better Homes and Gardens
Patrick and I met the former owners of our new house last week and discovered the home and garden were featured in Better Homes and Gardens when owned by the first owners between 1936 and 1954!! Unfortunately that’s all the information they could tell us so we have a pretty broad search ahead of us!
Today I spoke with someone at Better Homes and Gardens and they have no electronic record of...
Big News!!
We’ve purchased our first house and we are so excited about what’s to come!
Over the past 50 years, the home as fallen into a state of neglect and disrepair. The house needs a lot of work and the garden is terribly overgrown. Fortunately through it all we were able to see its potential!
Here she is……what do you think?
