Happy house-aversary to us! (13 days late)

A year and two weeks ago today Christopher and I bought our first house! It still feels so new to us. We still have so many projects on our list. We can still hardly believe we own a house. Sometimes I really have to remind myself that it's OK to be comfortable and happy here, because it's ours. I can make every single closet my own, and paint the carpet if I want (I don't want to paint my carpet, don't worry). It still feels like we've been house sitting for someone for the last year.

I love little changes, in fact I hate when things stay too much the same. But I had no idea how long it would take for me to process big life altering changes, like getting married and buying a house.

It took me a miserable year and a half to adjust to married life, and so far adjusting to being a homeowner feels great, just kind of surreal. Here's a little look back at the last year.

Our first home project after! (Sorry about the glare)








It's been so much fun having a whole house to hang around in. I can't wait to see how all of our other projects and plans turn out.
