House Anniversary

Four years ago today we moved from our cute house on John's Island to our current  house in Charleston.  I thought it might be fun to document what some of the changes have been over the last 4 years to the new house.  (At least things I have pictures of)

Our first house
New house-Move in day!

New House-move in day!

We built a fence for the puppies


And painted the fence black
We put in a brick path instead of a dirt path
Do you see the dirt path-no b/c it wasn't special


We went from a slab patio to an elevated patio with a garden edge

I can't find a "before" shot of the patio but you can see how small it was




I'll have to take an updated picture-it is much more lush now
And we have more furniture. 
We added palm trees

And then spruced up the walk way to the front of the house:
And my most FAVORITE PROJECT:   SHUTTERS!!
Here's a before:


Drumroll please...drum drum drum drum:
Thank you Chad!  You are the best husband!  Now I'm off to think about my newest "honey-do" project for you.  Aren't you the luckiest guy ever to have such a thoughtful wife like me.  XOXO

(I'm sure he loved having me watch him from each window and snapping his picture)
