Today is the one year anniversary of our house!
This was the scene in our living room one year ago . . .

Yes, still drudging. That's me, putting wood stain on the trim around our new windows. And yes, it has been two months since those were installed (
a very happy day at 760). Let's just say that we took an extended Christmas break.
But to celebrate our house-a-versary, we have devoted the past week to getting things done. Things like (clockwise from top left): capping the electrical where some fluorescent lighting used to be, installing a dimmer switch in the dining room, patching the wall where a light switch used to be, and installing a light in the front entrance.
Our moms are probably reading this, so at this point it is important to mention that whenever we are performing electrical work we turn off the power to that part of the house, and double check with Aaron's electricty tester thingamajig (yes, that is the technical term for it). Also, the pink wall patch fades to white as it dries. (Hi Moms!)
All this project completing is not without cost. This was our third trip to the hardware store on Saturday.
I remember when we were weekend regulars at Stella's, our local breakfast place. Now we're regulars at Home Depot.
