Our Home

So, yesterday was yard day at the Amell Home. It's always a fun when I announce to Jared that "today is yard day!!!" It's like the game of paper, rock, scissors, who gets front yard and who gets back! Of course there are stipulations, if you take the front yard, it's less grass but you have to weed eat; if you get back yard, it's just cutting but there's more of it!!! Our home is small, but it's just enough for our little family of, well, dogs! Bruin and Maddox have the two rooms they are allowed in, which, by the way are for the most part, indestructible! However, some days I come home and discover they have been cooking, as they have pulled a few pots and pans out from the cabinets! Nothing a good mother of dogs can't fix! We are still making some changes to our lovely home and am glad to say that we finally got our driveway done! Just last year, we painted the ENTIRE house, upstairs and all and that was quite the undertaking! We put down new carpet upstairs, luckily the downstairs is mostly hardwood, we redid the kitchen cabinets, put in new hardware, new light fixtures, wooden blinds and tiled the kitchen countertops. When we started in our yard, it was nothing but dirt, but as you can see, we have done much work to get it where it is today! I made my man become a yard boy before it was all over! You may ask why we did this before we were even engaged, but I knew the day would come, just not so soon! I am happy to say that all of the remodeling was done before I moved in, thank goodness!!!
