The day before Thanksgiving, 2002 David and I purchased the home that we knew would be our lifetime home. We had decided that we wanted an older home and hoped to find one that still had all of the charm that made us love old homes. We were very fortunate to find just the home and snag it just the day after it listed. They hadn't even gotten the sign up yet! The house wasn't perfect but we knew that in time we would change things and make it very uniquely ours.
With so much happening at our house now, I thought it would be neat to share some images along this journey. To start, I pulled out the photos that we snapped the day we signed the papers. Like we dreamed, we did make some changes. Unfortunately, we were bad to not take photos as we finished projects. Even worse, we are bad to start many projects and not finish them! Despite the unfinished projects, we were at "home" in this house. When we finally get back here, it will all look very different. It will be a mix of new and old, happy and sad. Many of the projects we dreamed of for the future will be completed. We will have traveled a journey that will have been very mixed in emotion.
Without further ado, I present to you a flashback to 1979, oops, no wait, 2002.
