And we are always taking more and more. We are now in the process of organizing all them. Its a hard task because we get caught of looking at the pictures and forget the task at hand. While organizing we came across some photos we took a year ago today. Its hard to believe we actually lived like this. It doesn't even feel like the same house. Its a very surreal feeling. We also can not believe that we used our bathroom sink for three months to wash dishes. When did we have the time to do this?? Heres a look at the photos taken a year ago today.</span><br />

We just remembered we never posted one of the biggest projects!! Luckily we haven't lived like this in a few months but when we moved into the house the washer was in the </span><a href="http://nailsandthread.blogspot.com/2010/07/kitchen-update.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">kitchen</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. The kitchen is already super small and having a washer in the kitchen seemed like a waste of space. So we decided to take the washer out and move it into our new laundry room (post to come). Basically the kitchen is in the front of the house and the future laundry room is in the back. Easier said than done. In order to move the washer out of the kitchen we needed to run water lines to that location. This is when we called in professionals. Running water lines underground (our house is on a concrete slab - no basement) is very dirty and labor intensive (you also don't want to hit the wrong pipe!) It was one project in the house we felt was not DYI. </span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The recipe is from Martha Stewart</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> website. Get it <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/258665/classic-pound-cake?czone=food/cake-center/favorite-cake-recipes">HERE</a>. The recipe was very easy and results were great. I don't think we will ever buy Pound Cake again. The Kitchenaid came in handy since you have to cream the sugar and butter for 7-8 minutes. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

(Did someone say Garage sale??) But before we start doing some new organization and cleaning, there is one BIG project we need to finish. Our bedroom. Our bedroom is the only room in the house that is exactly the same since we moved in. Literally there are still boxes!! We moved in almost a year ago. It is time. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This winter we took a nice long break from doing any house upgrades and remodeling. We finally weren't covered in paint all the time!! We had some time to relax and have some fun. One of the fun events that happened was Chris' 30th Birthday.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To celebrate we had a Wine and Cheese party.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">6 different cheeses, fruit, many different wines...</span><br />

It was a great year filled with ups and down. Buying the house was super stressful. We think we have hit our limit for the amount of times 2 people can go to Home Depot. We had good days and only a few bad. All in all 2010 was great.<br />
<br />
We hope 2011 is as exciting.<br />
