It’s been a while since I’ve posted a house update, so here it is.

This is one view of our house during winter. Through those windows on the left is our bedroom. Next to that are two bathrooms and a coat closet, and after that comes the kitchen.

This spring, the landscaping here will be updated. The following year we’re hoping to change those windows to a door and build a private deck for just the two of us. A couple of years after that, we have plans to change the siding and the roof.

There are many projects being accomplished, yet so many in the waiting. It’s a little overwhelming, but this is the way it goes when settling into a new home. I remember when we moved into the house on the mountain. It took us five years to get it the way we wanted, and even when we’re moved there were still projects left unfinished. But, that is the way it goes, I suppose.

Dean is currently working on our new countertops. I’ll share a photo soon of the current counters, and then, hopefully, soon after that, I’ll share our new counters and backsplash with you. I’m super excited as finishing this project will complete the kitchen (other than the crown molding and the baseboard that is). We’re getting there friends. I can’t help but find myself stressing a bit about the amount of projects on our plates, but at the same time, all the projects it takes to make this house into our home is a bit motivating and exciting at the same time.

Thanks for joining me on this journey and for sharing your words of encouragement with me. I appreciate them very much!

Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just here in the kitchen documenting the messes my kids leave behind for me clean up, 🤦‍♀️ reminding myself that, one day in the not too distant future, when there are no longer any kids in my home to make messes, that I will miss this. 😢

So there they are, tucked in bed for the night, 🛌 and here I am, cleaning up from a busy day. 🧹 I love my life. I love my kids. 🙍🙍🙍🙍 I’m grateful we’re together. Oh, and I’m ready for a glass of wine too! 🍷
