one year ago today i walked into this house for the first time. i didn't know it at the time, but i had finally come home.
this year has been a whirlwind - and rather like falling in love. joy, doubt, fear, butterflies, and hard work. and i wouldn't trade a single second.
here's a quick look back at that first day. these are the photos i took at the open house (click the photo to see a larger version). and click here for an intro to this crazy project.
we've certainly come a long way!

"although sometime has passed
i still remember just like it was yesterday.
the time is moving fast.
the love i have for you
time won't ever change -
i'll always feel the same
now until the end..."
Having bought my own house in November and going through the same process (or very similar!) I know how you feel. Some days it just makes me grin inside *and* out. Hoorah for gorgeous townhouses! (A UK reader) :)
