This past Saturday marked our 1 year anniversary of being in our Tennessee home. Looking back over the year, I can’t believe the transformations we’ve made in just a year, yet I’m still amazed at how much more there is to do! I’ve been seeing the house goals people post around New Years and thought this might be a fun thing to do on our anniversary to see the progress we’ve made.

Accomplishments:

1. We moved our family 2000 miles across country to be next to family and friends and back to our stomping grounds where Trent and I fell in love. It feels so good to be HOME.

2. We purchased a house that we (almost) LOVE! Well, we love the neighborhood, the part of town we are in, and the fact that we can see the Milky Way from our front porch, but we are working on the house part. Living in the country, a stones throw away from the city, has done wonders for our souls.

3. Most importantly, we are all happy and healthy, finally adjusted from this HUGE move our family made, and we are seeing promising options for the year ahead and eager to finish the work on this house.

Here are my Goals for our Home Remodel
