New Beginnings!

It's our Two Year Anniversary!
Apparently we haven't updated this thing since October of '09. Well....quick update: December of '09 ... Tessa's birthday, followed by Christmas, followed by NEW YEARS 2010!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! WHEEE!!!

Which was followed by February 2010....Snowmageddon....it broke our house. Ice dams led to water coming in to the house which led to damage to the master bedroom, the master bathroom, the sunroom, the breakfast nook, the kitchen, the walk-in closet...

That's ok though. Now we get to remodel the rooms we wanted to eventually remodel with special funding from the insurance company...yay!!!

So where are we now?? Well...thanks to my cousin Rocco, we got walls and insulation over Easter. We are taking this opportunity to redo our kitchen floor along with the sunroom and breakfast nook.

Today is our Second Anniversary. Tomorrow we get a new floor throughout half of the first floor of our house! Suffice to say, the past few months have tested our patience and our nerve, but we've stuck together, worked it out and tomorrow we get new floors...oh and the new roof is going up soon as well. Honestly, this was a heck of a test so "early" in the marriage...but I'd say so far so good!!!!

The next project is the master bath, but we're still in the planning phase with our contractor.

Special shout out to both Jim and my dad for helping with the bathroom demolition! (I'll post some pictures soon.)

What else is going on? Well, I'm now 30. Special shout out to Jim for coming all the way in to Pittsburgh for my 30th. And major props to the wife for planning on awesome party. It was a great time!

Ok, we'll be better at this...more posts more often. In the meantime, Congratulations to Nate & Brooke, two of the best people we know, on their wedding this past weekend.
