Me and my husband have been married 2 years. After a long life of apartment living, we have finally purchased our first home. Our "starter home" has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Perfect for us two, our cat and room to grow. So, this is life as a home owner and our trip through making a house a home. We plan to blog about our experiences, obstacles, do it yourself projects, and life in general.
Yesterday was my first day doing yard work. While my husband mowed, I worked on the flower beds. First of all, next time I will start earlier, afternoon heat is not my friend. Second of all, I will start with gloves, there are some prickly creeps out there and my hands have paid the price. All in all, I could get use to the gardening thing. It was relaxing at times (when I finally found a shaded area under a tree to pull weeds and wasn't dripping sweat constantly) and although I don't consider myself an outdoors person I enjoyed spending my morning and afternoon outside and felt accomplished after.
So far home ownership has been fun. My husband has successfully mounted and wired the TV over the mantle (with the help of our wonderful friends). Boxes are slowly disappearing from site. Our list of projects is beginning to grow. It's starting to feel like home.
