Hi all! Sorry for the extended blogging break. We had a whirlwind of weddings and birthdays and busy work weeks, so I have been totally blog-slacking lately.
But today is a big day at the Discoball Speakeasy... One year ago today we got the keys! I was so happy to have my very first house, even if it was a wreck. After six months of shortsale ups and downs, heartbreaks, headaches and tears, we finally put that loan to bed and got started on what would be a year of home improvements that would give any HGTV show a run for its money.
We are very fortunate to have had some great support along the way. Shupasaurus and I are lucky to have such great family and friends. His mom and dad were amazing, as were my brother and many of my friends. My mom and dad 2 came through in a big way by transforming my kitchen into a beautiful space, which I think would easily win any kitchen makeover competition.
Most of all, I thank my mom for being there for me and helping my shack dreams come true.
I am in love with my house. No, I mean, I am in love with my HOME. It is truly a place where friends and family gather and great memories are made. I cannot imagine a better place to be. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I love you guys.
And now for a trip down memory lane...
