Homeowning bliss

We are 2 months in from our move-in date. We've been enjoying every minute of it. Well, not every minute (see 2 entries ago). Our lawn mower died and had to get a new one. If that's the small stuff, we'll take it.

We raked today. I also ran a road race. I made a personal best at 28:50 for a 5k. I am pumped. Oh, and I am tired. All worth it, I love to play outside. We have a little more raking to do tomorrow.

Slowly the house is being decorated. We're getting there!

Hard work turns into pretty colors

Here are the photo's of the rooms I painted. Now, I did not decorate so that's why you are only getting a smidge of what they look like. Once I'm happy with wall hangings and furniture I'll post the whole rooms.

Vacation

This past week W and I were on vacation. E painted. W helped. W raked. E painted. W made apple crisp. E painted. W make chowder. E painted. A total of 4 rooms have been painted. E can decorate now.

E needs another vacation. Pictures will be posted soon. She just needs to take them first.

3 years

W back again and today marks our 3rd anniversary. I still remember that 85 degree October day standing in a tuxedo in a church with no air conditioning thinking, "Yes this is how it will be for the rest of my life.... standing around sweating my waiting @$$ off waiting for this woman to get ready."

It has been the best 3 years of waiting around, I have ever had in my life. I hope you grandmother was right at there 75th anniversary when she told me we would get there someday. I love you E.
