Months ago, prior to our move, Garrett and I made a decision which, little did we know, would get pushed to the back burner week after week once we settled in…One of the many “welcome to home-ownership” moments I actually enjoy; the ability to modify said home to our desire, which includes finally being able… Continue reading Master Bedroom Makeover | Part 01
Good morning friends! I apologize for the large gap between posts. As life has a habit to do so, it’s gotten pretty hectic around here between Garrett’s work, my work, beginning the wedding planning, and touring venues, which has clearly left precious little time for work around the house or blogging. Lucky for us, he… Continue reading Storm Shelter Setup
It was a day like any other. Woke up, went into work, made some paint, got some glitter on me, and returned home to tend to the dogs. Garrett was out of town for work, which meant I had to find a way to entertain myself so I wandered out to the mailbox to retrieve… Continue reading The (Almost Ruined) Surprise Proposal
A couple of weeks ago Garrett and I wandered through Home Depot. While we were supposed to be browsing paints colors, we naturally let our attention wander on over to the appliance section. Though we’re incredibly happy with the stainless steel appliances in the home, we aren’t too terribly keen on the side by side… Continue reading Refrigerator Replacement
I have always appreciated my family, but I have to say that this move and their help makes me appreciate them even more! Remember that doggy door that the realtor had to almost climb through to get in the basement door? Yeah, time for that door to go! My dad and I hopped into the… Continue reading Bye Bye, Doggy Door!
After closing on the house, it felt like things couldn’t get any more exciting…that is until yesterday morning hit. It was the day that the movers came to grab all of our furniture and that means the day that we got to officially sleep and live in our new house! Moving day! As with every… Continue reading Welcome to Homeownership | Part 02
I have come to the realization that I have WAY too much stuff! Good thing I’ve moved to a house…Over the course of a couple of weeks, we have spent hours off and on preparing for the big move. Utilities have been scheduled, movers and U-Haul booked, a staging area filled with boxes, and we… Continue reading Welcome to Homeownership | Part 01
Purchasing a house in the best of times is stressful…but add to that the volatility of the housing market in 2020 and you’re just asking to torture yourself. Which is apparently exactly what I’m doing, of course! I have grown tired of the apartment lifestyle, plus it’s getting pretty cramped for the five of us… Continue reading House Hunters
Today's story comes to you at the request of one of its main characters; our roommate Frank. So sit back, grab a big bowl of popcorn (NOT an avocado!), and maybe even a beer. I know I needed one at the time... The year was 2019, the month December. Christmas was growing ever closer each… Continue reading Cursed Christmas
With the car sufficiently loaded and our bellies just as full, we hopped in and headed off to our first destination. I plugged the address into my GPS and off we went! The first stop was only about two hours away and I was giddy at the anticipation of the arrival and surprising Garrett with… Continue reading Our First Adventure | Part 02
