I LOVE our little house!!

We will officially be homeowners for one year on July 28, 2011!! The more we do to the house, the more I love it. I enjoy being a homeowner. The feeling that it is ours(and the loan)... : ) that we can do, or change, and make it anything we want!! The difference in a year is unbelievable.

This is the kitchen the day we bought the house. It was dark, outdated, and heavily smelled of cigarette smoke.

As you can see we have done many changes. All the electrical was replaced to bring it up to code. We have pot lights above the counters. New ceiling fan. The paneling and soffet are gone. The back-splash got torn out but we haven't replaced it yet. Gene put the new floor in, after taking up four others. Painted the cabinets white. We got a microwave, stove, and fridge on craigslist. The old stove didn't work well. The old fridge is in the basement for beer.
 

 We are getting there!!! So much has been done it 1 year!
