A Trip Down Memory Lane

I'll be honest... I meant to have this up 2 days ago! But I've been busier than I thought I would be this week. Yikes.

With all these projects going on at my house...which sometimes seems to create more projects...it's tough (for me anyway) not to feel overwhelmed and sometimes discouraged by all of it. Sometimes I even wonder what the heck I was thinking buying a house...this house...all by myself. Yes, I have lots of awesome help from family and friends, for which I am eternally grateful. But still. I'm just callin' it like it is.

And then I look back at where I was one year ago and I can't help but smile and think... gosh...progress...

My living room, one year ago (almost to the date!)

I liked to call it Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

What a surprise that floor had been! To read the full horror story go here.

Check back soon and I'll show you the other changes to my living room! What a difference a year makes!

I feel the same way too. P and I have been looking into our second home and he wants another projects...me, I just want to move in and not worry about anything. For awhile at least. Projects can be so overwhelming!

It's so crazy too, because it isn't just 1 project...it's 50 at once...they all have priority for one reason or another too. Good work so far!
