Congrats! <BR/>I also did the same thing for my 1 year home-o-versary. However, if you did get a prepayment penalty on your mortgage, passing that date will be another celebratory milestone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-21921179198642501842007-11-15T07:10:00.000-05:002007-11-15T07:10:00.000-05:00We'll hit 1 year (on our first home) at the end of...We'll hit 1 year (on our first home) at the end of this month - what a great feeling! I can't believe time has flown so quickly... In the short time, we've done plenty of painting and re-painting, changed almost all light fixtures, laid some tile, hung moulding, fully remodeled the kitchen (new countertops, sink, fixtures, cabinets, appliances), built a new front porch, finished half of the basement (drywall, doors, paint, carpet, moulding - just don't look up yet! the ceiling is yet to come...), landscaped, and had lots of fun decorating. Yikes! No wonder I feel so broke and tired these days ;) Good thing I have family/friends/neighbors who are quite handy, and a husband who is learning as he goes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-56870002396242567052007-11-14T13:17:00.000-05:002007-11-14T13:17:00.000-05:00Go, Madame X, go!
