Finally got it up and running!

Want to say hi to everyone :o) I've been wanting to get a blog up and running for... well forever really! Here, I hope to share a little bit of our lives with friends and family... Here's the lowdown on what you may have missed so far:

Jason and I got engaged and bought a house in 2007, gutted the basement & got it ready for the storage center of our lives... painted and installed carpet in the 2 smaller bedrooms, gutted and completely renovated the master bedroom and bath early in 2008, got married & moved into our home that summer, rescued our first puppy Brody about two weeks later... tackled the entry, laundry, 1/2 bath gut & reno end of 2008... went in on an investment property with the rest of the Kopczyk clan & rescued our second dog Brock early 2009... built and planted our 20' x 24' garden that spring, spent the entire summer and fall gutting and renovating the investment property... took a breather... hubby left to work with for his company in Chattanooga, TN early 2010, finished the deck, installed brick pavers and landscaping in the backyard summer of 2010.

Here's where it gets interesting...

Found out I was preggers early October 2010

**One of the best days of our lives....**

Jason moved home from TN late October 2010

**Sigh of relief...**

Lost our beloved Brock November 2nd 2010

**One of the worst days of our lives...**

Rescued our sweet little man Bauer late November 2010

**Healing...**

Started the complete gut and renovation of our kitchen, sitting area with fireplace, and guest/main bathroom January of 2011

**Chaos...**

That about sums it up to where we're at today. 2010 was a year where Jason and I felt the depth of both pain and happiness. The important part is that we experienced them together... we've found out what truly riding the lows and the highs are like with each other... and have come out the other side stronger than ever. There is so much to look forward to... So stay tuned. :o)
