Our First Home.

I have been slowly scouring through old photos and trying to make sure that what we have is organized well and backed up. One folder was entirely full of photos we got from Dave's mom and, while browsing, I found these old pics of our first house before we did anything to it. It was sweet nostalgia remembering how different it looked when we first bought it, and how all I could see was a beautiful cottage with tons of potential! When we look at it now, we think we were probably in a little over our heads:). But thanks to Dave's parents, and lots of friends' help, and my studly hard-working husband......I think we made it shine.

For kicks and giggles, I thought it would fun to post the pictures from the very beginning and the very end. Unfortunately, the images are really low quality. I am *officially* not trying to impress anyone with some amazing photography here:)....but I'm really just so thankful to have these, even after the hard-drive crash. When I look at these, I don't just see remodeled spaces, but a story of the time we spent there. I have so many memories attached to these rooms and such thankfulness for our time there. Undeserved goodness from a gracious God.....
