Nearly a year has passed

Every once in awhile you have to sit back and take a break from the work and occasionally  you are rewarded with a sight that makes it all seem worth it. 

     While I was enjoying a beer on the neighbor's deck, just before an impromptu pizza, on what happened to be one of the nicest weekends we have had in quite some time, I gained a new perspective on the house. 

I was taken aback to when we first stepped into our home, when we were the new neighbors to a house that had not seen life in some time, only to be welcomed with encouragement. We have been so fortunate to have such great neighbors across the street, let alone up and down the road. They allow us a sense of pride and security that we could not have imagined at the start of this adventure. My fiancee and I are thankful of them all.

We have come so far in such a relatively short time (nearly a year) and I can not wait to see where we end up and what we accomplish in the future. Onto the next however many years we remain in this home of ours.
