Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes

My thoughts keep jumping back to this time last year. We were days away from closing on the house and full of stress and anxious anticipation. I had created a schedule for packing so we would be almost completely boxed up by closing day. That plan didn't happen as intended. Bryan and I were ready to complete several home repairs before we moved our stuff in. That mostly didn't happen either. In fact, our list of repairs and upgrades seems to grow with each month we're in this house rather than shrink.

That said, I'm so thankful for this house. And I'm especially thankful that we're a year into this adventure and not where we were last August.
