January 2022 – Kristens.page

The saying “Time flies when you’re having fun” really applies to us here at our “new” house. It’s not so new anymore, we’ve just celebrated our first year anniversary here! Can you believe it has been an entire year since we closed on our forever home! I can’t! Our first home on Roseberry Street almost seems like a distant memory yet it feels like we just got here yesterday- Crazy how that works-

We were truly blessed with this home and how well the previous owners took care of it, so there wasn’t a bunch of repairs needed. We really just did a few cosmetic changes. Removed popcorn ceilings (thank God we paid someone to do that chore! LOL Looked rough), painted all the living spaces and master bedroom, laid new carpet upstairs, installed a new AC unit, Jason ran electric from the cabin to the barn and its awesome! When we have parties we can now have the, well for one the big light pole on but we can now have the projection screen up and watch movies on the lawn!! We did plenty of yard work – and still more to go- but we cleared out a space for a container gardens and picnic tables! I will post a separate blog on that- it’s a lot on its own. Picked a ton of blueberries and made tons of blueberry cobblers. Fresh picked flowers from my yard are definitely my favorite kind now- For mother’s day, Jason and the goobers bought me a Blackstone grill and with the picnic table for Santa brought me, I’ll be “the hostess with the mostest??” LOL Can we say Hibachi Sundays please!!

We still don’t have everything exactly the way it will end up but that’s the perk of it being a forever home right… we have awhile to get it just the way we want it! I’ve already shared a few things we’ve done in other posts, but this round I’m going to share pictures.
