HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today is a milestone - we have been in our home for 2 whole years. Happy Birthday House, you look younger than the day we met you and much more modern after all those makeovers we have given you over the last 24 months. I will say that the first year we were scared to death to try anything ourselves but as time has progressed we have become more "handy" and are able to look at things more creatively.

In an effort to hold ourselves accountable I thought we should put our to-do list out there. Hopefully this way you can see our progress and we can get some more things completed.
