It has been too long since my last post. We’ve been busy with family visits and weddings. Work is also getting in the way lately. Our foreign subsidiaries merged and it has kept me quite busy making sure there were no accounting emergencies (Yes, they exist).
As mentioned in our very first post, there's the awful blue carpet. I knew I had taken "before" photos when we moved in and could not find them anywhere. The photos you see in our first post are after we removed the blue carpet and painted some of the walls. Lucky for me, I was whining to my mom that I could not find those pictures and she mentioned that they were still in fact on her camera (cue the angels and hallelujah chorus).
I took the pictures using her camera when we brought my parents by the house before we moved in. These are true "before" pictures and they do not even reflect how heinous that carpet really was. I haven’t seen these pictures in awhile some of my favorite things:

- Obviously the ugly blue carpet. I was so satisfied when we threw it out.
- I kind of forgot that there used to be a functional sink with garbage disposal (gross) in the basement. That is where our washer and dryer is now located.
- The kitchen looks totally different now and I love being able to look back and see its entire transformation. We were able to get rid of the appliances that came with the house and get them to people who really needed them.
- A reminder for HB who has lost 40 pounds since this pic was taken. He is going to be super embarrassed that I mentioned this but I am proud of him.
- This is before we painted every wall in the house.
