I happen to be listening to reggae right now and I adore Bob Marley's "Is this Love." In this song Marley sings "We'll be together, with a roof right over our head" and I realized 3 years ago today Rick and I bought our first roof! Ok we bought much more than a roof we bought what we have called home for 3 years now. How?! I say that time flies as it always does but I look back at 3 years and realize we have accomplished a lot with our little 3 bedroom ranch.
Some of the mega milestones include: putting up 290 feet of fence, redoing the plumbing and water filtration system, trenching the sump pump to the front of the house, taming the jungle of gardens, adding a bathroom and remodeling the bathrooms (robin egg blue is but a distant memory) oh AND raising the floor, knocking down a wall, moving a door and installing hardwood floors.
The projects continue to roll around but it is amazing to look back and enjoy our hardwork. I remember seeing the house for the first time and I certainly remember the ups and downs that come along with buying a home. I also recall quite vividly the selling realtor sliding the keys and garage door opener across the wood table. The fence quotes, the Sir-Moss-Alot green walls, brushing our teeth in the kitchen sink, the crashing of the brick fireplace, the kitchen moved to the garage and basement...it is all fun to look back on. We feel we have truly made a house a home in 3 short years! Knowing my husband...this is only the beginning :)
XO,
EAT
