I can't believe how different our house looks now. I also can't believe Brian & I have been married a year! Time really does fly by. I think we have accomplished quite a bit in the short year. I mean, we bought a house! A lot of people go a lifetime without doing such a thing, especially in this economy. I have to remind Brian that every time he gets a little overwhelmed with the bill/credit situation. But, I have to remind him that we are lucky, our bills are paid every month, we have food on our table and a roof over our head. We really don't need much more. Soon the loans and credit cards will get paid off, no worries.
We spent a couple of days the weekend before our anniversary at the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso, which is where he proposed. It was nice and cool, and very relaxing! Just what we needed.

Like I thought, we have been running around crazy trying to make this house feel comfortable and be 'us'.

Our very first project was our red accent wall. I could not be happier with it! We got the living room painted the first weekend we were living there.

I think every day I find something I want need to change. The carpet in the master bedroom desperately need to be replaced, as does the baseboards. Oh, and the ceiling needs painted, along with the walls. I think it's coming along great though! I love spending my time here.
