Happy New Year!
We can't believe how fast 2013 flew by! We have had a great year in our house and my new job as a preschool teacher is working out well. I had the longest winter vacation I've ever had and I loved every minute of it. I was supposed to go back to school last Thursday but thanks to the "Hercules" snowstorm, I had an extra two days of vacation. I read two books and have fallen in love with the Marblehead Public Library. I had fun with two of my new friends in town as we sipped wine at the Harbor Light Inn down in old town. We sat by the fire in big comfy chairs, something I would totally be up for regularly!
We celebrated the holidays in Needham and North Reading visiting family and eating great food as always. Our dog, Moxie, celebrated her first Christmas with us and we are so thankful to have her. We think about her spending last Christmas in a shelter in Arkansas and how content she seems as she settled into life with us here.
One of my resolutions this year is to be more active on our blog. I want to take more pictures and continue to create memories to look back on. We have many projects coming up this spring that I will share with you here. For now, here are some pictures from today. My dad gave us a bird feeder for Christmas and we noticed the bird food was disappearing but hadn't seen any birds. Today we finally saw them, the word is out and the birds are here! I snapped some photos of the birds and a few of Moxie (because really, how could I not). Until next time!

In honor of our 1 year anniversary of buying our house (July 20, 2012), we dug up some photographs from when we first bought it. Here are some comparisons to see the THEN and NOW!

Happy July to all, what a heatwave this has been! Not that I am complaining, because I'm not. After last winter, I vow never to complain about summer again. This past week we had the carpeting put into our master closet and indoor shutters added to the living room windows. I thought I would take the opportunity to post some of those pictures here. I am also posting updated pictures of our veggie garden out back. It's getting enormous! Master shower glass is almost done, not quite. Once complete I'll put up some pictures of the master bath!

Today could not have been more beautiful. Mark and I woke early, ate breakfast at the Depot Diner in Beverly (great eggs Benedict by the way-my favorite taste test for new restaurants) and got to work on planting more flower beds. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the two we planted today, oh well I'll put them in here at some point! Our master closet was completed today! I am in love and can't wait to fill it with my things...Our! Our things.
Below are pictures of: our blooming veggie garden, the master bath (coming along) and the master closet.
