One year

A quick update because today was the one year anniversary of buying my house! I can't believe it.



I know sometimes I go on (and on and on) about how this town isn't my favorite place to live, but it is home. I also know that as much as all of the previous places I lived were temporary, this place is too. But it's a longer temporary, if that makes sense. I know I've said a lot recently how it doesn't quite feel like "home" yet, which really makes me sad. My last apartment did...so hopefully my thoughts will change. I also think that I've been taking my little place for granted. In order to make it feel like home, I need to treat it like one - and not slack on the cleaning!

What's next? A toss up between the guest room (the easiest and least expensive project - painting and one or two pieces of furniture), the upstairs bath (second most expensive - a new floor, toilet, mirror and vanity, and probably a Bath Fitter-type creation for the tub/shower. And let's face it, I'll probably repaint/decorate it), or the kitchen (the most expensive and most daunting project - new cabinets, countertops, etc. - too much to even think about. We shall see.
