My Year in Review
Started this blog on January 7th
My first blog post was "Nautical Bedroom", it is hard to believe that it has been a whole year since I started this blog. I have learned so much since January.
February
Took a great trip to New Orleans during Mardi Gras with A, lots of fun!!
For St. Patrick's Day and Easter I created beaded wreaths out of the beads from the Mardi Gras parades.
May to August
May was a bittersweet month, my great-aunt Louise passed away at 89 years old, we still miss her.
At the end of the month we learned that she had left her house to my parents. We decided to buy the house from my parents, our first house.
June
The big move! It took about a month to get completely moved into the house. By the end of the month we were thoroughly exhausted.
July
Not much happened in July; I worked on the blog, planned out our home improvement projects, and had fun in the sun.
We also started updating our bathroom
August
The month when we started many reno projects!
We finished the bathroom (to this date the only room that is officially finished in our house)
Before
After
We knocked down the wall between the dining room and living room.
During
After
September
More home improvement!
Took out the old picture window and replaced it with two double hung energy star windows.
Before
After
October
October was another sad month for us at the end of the month our great dog Jax died suddenly from either a heart or brain problem. This put a hold on the reno projects. We still miss him, he was taken young at the age of 6, but he will live forever in our hearts.
January to April
