One Year Later!
We're celebrating our one-year anniversary since the big move from New Jersey to Illinois. We moved into this house on Dec. 16, 2011. Hooray! A lot has happened since that exciting and exhausting day. The girls have started school and made friends. Dave has made big contributions to his projects at work and I landed a full time job. I learned that we function best when both parents are working full-time and the girls are in structured school settings. And that I'm a hopeless stay-at-home Mom. Maybe it’s just not in my DNA. I painted six rooms, mostly by myself, learning tricks and making a few mistakes. I've enjoyed planning and decorating. There's nothing better than the feeling of visualizing an idea (Flor carpet tiles! Homemade curtains! Raised beds gardens!) and following it through. It's great to have the space to make home improvements. To start projects, to stretch out and make a mess and to close the door of the office or leave it
