2 Year House-iversary!

We've been in our house for two years! Two years of mortgage payments, and lawn mowing, and problem solving, and being as loud as we want without worrying about bothering our neighbors. 

This year we hosted both of our families for Thanksgiving, had all our highschoolers and their families over for the end of year party, hosted the whole family for college nationals, had Jack live with use for the summer, and had countless friends use our guest rooms. 

I'm sure our neighbors think we're crazy that we moved into such a big house without kids but we've used every inch of this house and it's crazy how often all 3 extra bedrooms are full. I've loved having the space to have people over comfortably and maybe we'll grow into it eventually.

The biggest house-related highlight of this year was definitely painting the outside. Holy smokes it looks so good!! I still love the color we chose and I still get giddy looking at it.  Maybe I'm biased but I think we now have the best looking house in the neighborhood and I love turning onto our street and seeing it waving from the end of the cul-de-sac.

We also just recently found a 2 mile running route to our climbing gym so we can run to the gym, climb, and either walk or drive back if we drop a car off. The location is so perfect for us and we are so happy to have snagged this house when we did. Here's to many more years!!
