Memories of Our First House

Well, the house is rented and Tony and I spent some time reflecting on our time there....

- Painting cabinets, tiling, painting rooms, changing fixtures, hanging sheet rock (okay, we have lots of remodeling memories)
- Brining our puppy Hailey home
- My 25th birthday party- so many friends, so much fun (we won't talk about the cake incident)
- Late night dominoes on the huge patio
- Living on my own while Tony traveled to TN for work (It was scary there!)
- Setting up a nursery and bringing home our first child
- Putting Jake to sleep in his swing in the laundry room with the dryer running so we could demo the bathroom and not wake him up
- Jake's 1st bday party
- Playing in the blow up pool all summer
- Walking down Houston street every morning for 2 summers (we got to see everybody!)
- Bringing home our second baby
- Lukes 1st bday party

Some things we won't miss:
- It's TINY!!! Seriously, 1100 sq ft.
- Can anyone say "Gorch?"- Ah, what will it be like to have a garage?
- Low, low ceilings

All in all it was a great first house and I can't wait to figure out what's in store for us next.

who could forget the cake incident?? :)

i really miss having y'all close by...especially now that we have kids. it was always nice to be able to walk on over :(

i can't imagine all the emotions i'm gonna have when we leave this house one day...although that place was a little small, it was SO you. there was so much of you both in that house...from the decorating to the adventures. and that dang A/C :)

gonna miss 42 on that ginormous patio!
