So we FINALLY finished the kitchen. I will post pictures very soon. It was a lot of work, but I am so proud that we did it all by ourselves. Craig and I are first time home buyers, and the government was so kind to give us $8000 for buying a home. We wanted to be as responsible as possible with this money, so we decided to invest it all back into the house. Since we did all the labor ourselves we only spent $2300 on the kitchen . Refinished cabinets, new hardwood floors, paint, new lighting, new trim, beautiful new counterops. It took 3 months, some laughs, some screw ups, and a few agruments :) but, it is DONE, and looks so amazing. I am so very proud of it, and I am very exciting to make many more memories in it.
The day after we finished the kitchen, Craig started distruction on the downstairs bathroom. It had to be gutted completly. There had been some water damage in it, which we knew about when we bought the house. The old owners ignored a small leak for who knows how long, and it distroyed the floors all the way to the cement. So we have gutted this bathroom and are going to rebuild it from the bottom. I am definatly excited to see how it turns out. I am glad this is a much smaller room than the kitchen, so it wont be as much work!
I will get pictures posted very soon!

In the beginning...
So I decided to start a blog to keep my distance family, and friends updated on everything that is going on in our lives. So we will post updates here on our life, love and our pursuit of happiness.
As most of you know, Criag and I bought our first home in November of 2009. It is a great first house, and I am so in love with it. We are having a lot of fun... and sometimes not so much fun; updated the house, and making everything our own. We have taken on many remodeling tasks, but everything is coming together a little at at time. I will start posting pictures of projects soon.
Spring/Summer is right around the corner and I CAN NOT wait. I am not a huge fan of the winter, so I am counting down the days! Craig and I plan on doing a little traveling this summer, and of course spending lots of time outdoors with the friends like usual.
I will keep updates coming, and will post pictures soon of the house!
