Hard work...but worth it!

I'm so excited to be starting this blog with my husband. I believe this is a way for both of us to voice our joys and our frustrations with home ownership, but it's more than that. It's also a way for us to celebrate the changes we are making in our life together, and to appreciate all that we have.

My New Year's Resolution this year was to take time every day to appreciate it all. I don't think Marco knows that...but he does now! This is a charmed life, and Marco and I have many good things that have happened to us lately. We feel very fortunate, and very grateful.

The frustrations we will face with remodeling and gardening are small things in the grand scheme...I just hope we can keep that in mind.

Tomorrow we will move, officially, and begin our new life in the new house. The drywall and texturing is not yet done, the kitchen and bathrooms need to be renovated, and the floors need to be done, so it will be an adventure! At least we know the furnace is brand new!

I hope the cable gets installed on Friday, so that Marco will be able to relax in the new house with a good movie or game.

Did you know New Year's Eve was a blue moon? I think it's a good sign. We are starting a new year with a new life, with the full moon smiling down on us.
