On the joys of home ownership

Saturday, June 30, 2007 09:26:48 AM

Matt and Kate have been teasing us lately on all of the "fun" things we get to do, from painting to crawling around in blown insulation to run wires. When I was younger and I had to help my parents with such tasks, I think I looked at them the same way Matt and Kate look at them... but now that I am doing these tasks for Anna and I, there is something more to it. Maybe it is just the novelty of being able to change anything we want or maybe it is the gratification of feeling like you got something accomplished... whatever it is, I hope it doesn't wear off anytime soon because we have lots more things to do! :)

Today we're going to continue painting and I'm going to mow over there for the first time... and in another first, I'm going to carry my camera along so maybe I'll come back tonight with some pictures to share.

    "When I was younger . . ."

    When I was younger, I think I looked at them the same way you look at them now. Does that mean time is actually running in reverse for me?

    Congratulations on the house. After our wedding, Laura and I have much deferred condo renovation to do.
