General,
House Last weekend, Matt and I finally replaced our kitchen table. We had the same little 4 person table my mom bought for me when I moved from Abilene to College Station. It was really cute with 4 mis-matched chairs…lots of personality…but the collection had definitely seen better days. It didn’t survive our multiple moves very well and we needed something bigger for our breakfast area. We found a set we liked a World Market…and after much deliberation decided the size would probably work for our room and brought it all home. We are absolutely thrilled with our purchase!

General,
House,
Random It has officially been one full year since Matt and I moved into our house in Katy! It’s hard to believe we’ve already been here for a whole year. We are still loving our house, but unfortunately the to-do list to make it perfect (if such a thing actually exists) hasn’t gotten much shorter. Other than buying a few pieces of furniture and curtains here and there, we haven’t had to do much to the inside of the house. We would love new living room furniture and a new kitchen table and of course a desk and bookshelves for the office and maybe a chair for our bedroom and maybe some stuff for the walls in our bedroom and maybe…I could go on and on…but I just keep reminding myself that none of that stuff really matters. We have a happy, healthy little family with everything we need, plus some, who cares that my furniture isn’t perfect.
Probably the most work we have done on the house has been in the garage with a huge shelving unit and hooks on the walls for all of our junk, plus we planted trees in the backyard during the spring. We have also spent lots of time and money trying to bring our yard and trees back to health since the people we bought the house from obviously didn’t even understand the basics…such as…operating a sprinkler! The backyard still needs work and landscaping, but its too darn hot, so that will have to wait until the spring.
We still love being homeowners and living in a neighborhood. We still make comments about much better life is in a house than it was when we were living in apartments…especially on days like today when we brought groceries home and it was absolutely pouring…so nice to pull into a garage and not get wet!

House,
Pictures Here are some pictures of the house. We are really loving the house and we really enjoy being homeowners.
view from the sidewalk in front of the house…
standing in the front door…
our beautiful green kitchen and brand new refrigerator
our living room…please excuse the clutter…
looking from the back porch door to the entry way…and no…that room is not bright yellow 
the dining room
the master bath
master bedroom
That’s the downstairs of the house…minus the garage & laundry room…oh & the study. The upstairs is still pretty bare…only one of the bedrooms is “set up” and the other one won’t be set up until I buy a mattress for the that bed. I also don’t have any pictures of our oh-so-awesome backyard (its huge!)…but since Hurricane Ike is coming onshore…I think I’ll take pictures of the backyard another time.
