It was drizzling when we drove our U-Haul from our old apartment into our new house in the unknown land of Highland Park back in March 2006. I had blue hair then and was a cosmetology school student. Antz had much shorter hair and we were super excited to start a new chapter in our lives. Homeownership!
 |
| The morning we closed escrow! I drove a VW beetle back then |
 |
| We spent everyday at Home Depot for weeks |
 |
| Getting rid of the awful red paint in the bedroom, it took 4 coats! |
 |
| At least the floors were in good shape |
 |
| The extent to our furniture during our move in week |
 |
| The kitchen cabinets were too long to fit a standard size fridge |
 |
| Our first major purchase for the house was a washer and dryer, fun! |
|
|
 |
| The bathroom was scrubbed by Antz sister |
 |
| We seemed to think it was a great idea to paint Antz office red and brown at the time |

Antz Mom came over to visit our new house

|
| Spring in our backyard is amazing |
Now 7 years later we have lost a family member but also gained one. We have replaced the front deck/garage roof, painted 75% of the interior and remodeled the bathroom. Antz and I have scheduled a tentative date of Saturday, April 6th to begin our kitchen remodel. We are also going to replace our fence in the backyard before it falls over into our neighbors yard.
 |
| This was our fence the day of our inspection in February 2006. |
 |
| Same fence today |
 |
| Darn you heavy grapevine |
 |
| Not sure if we can save the grapevine since it’s growing at the base of our fence. |
We have a second estimate scheduled for Saturday. Stupid fence! That’s cutting into my pretty stools budget. I need these!!
Happy Anniversary house! Despite my love/hate turbulent relationship, thanks for keeping our family safe and warm, even though your plumbing stinks and your walls are crooked.
