We had made it through the first year and then some. We were in our new home. It was quite an adventure; I was extremely excited to think about decorating this house and making it my own, It was a clean palette.
I remember when Rick and I first met. He was working in a furniture store and I was barely getting by as a teacher. I had thought before I was married that it would be awesome to decorate a home with my spouse until he really wanted to. When I saw his apartment, I knew that it was not going to be easy to mesh our two tastes. Rick's taste was more modern; mine was very traditional.
Being at the new house meant that I could really make it my own. Although I had lived on my own before getting married. I had a very limited budge and very limited opportunity with my roommate who was there first.
When I was able to decorate, I found most of my treasures at yard sales. I love yard sales and it was a ritual with my friend Mary. We would get up each Saturday morning and check what was out there. It was too much fun.
I had to get the boys set up in their rooms and then made room for the guest room. It was such a thrilled to feel that I had some choice. It would be my time for what I wanted it. I had to look at the positives through the situation even if I wasn't thrilled with it.
You really made that little house a home. It was so comfy and cozy.
