Home Sweet Home

Eric and I bought our first sweet little home in March of 2007. We, well, Eric mostly, have enjoyed making it our own with creative little touches here and there. The other day, I was organizing our photos on the computer, and was SHOCKED by a photo of our house soon after we had purchased it. When had we taken out the front bushes and added shutters? When did it have that tiny little front stoop? Was the awning really green and white at one time? Our old doors used to look like that?!

Three years has made a difference, a little at a time. Eric has always said that when he reaches the end of his projects, we will be looking to move. :) In other words, there always needs to be a vision for "how can we make it better" and a project on the forefront. I'm definitely the "maintainer" and he is the "visionary" in our marriage relationship. Luckily we aren't the extremes, but it does make a fulfilling fit for the two of us.
