It’s been a little over a year now and every day we fall more in love with our new home as it slowly becomes something we’ve created together. We’re also slowly learning that owning a house comes with a never-ending list of home projects. And this year we were able to cross off a few big ones! The winner of the most time-consuming and laborious project goes to our front yard pavers! 43 hours of work, 512 pavers, 26 bags of sand, 6 bags of potting soil, 42 plants, and a few helping hands went into this project. There was a lot of sweat, maybe a tiny bit of blood and only tears of joy when it was done. But it was well worth it!
