Our 1st Home

I am sure those who know me are aware that my hubby and I just purchased our first home. I had no idea that one could have an obsession with a building, but now I see that I am! I knew owning a home would be exciting, but it is now my favorite.....well.....everything. It had me at Hello (lol, that was dumb) Instead of taking that extra $30 (although not alot) and spending it on dressing myself, I choose to dress my home. Now the saying "dess my nest" after all of these years makes sense to me. I watch more HGTV then MTV now a days. At times I think my mom and dad are more excited about our home than we are. The flowers, the welcome sign, the decals that spell 'kastner' on our mailbox, are all little token of approval and love from my parents. I guess until Haven and I have children, our house will be their grandchild. Fine by me!

Even though we have only been in our house for 121 days, the equalivent of 3.9 months, the 'Honey DONE list' is longer than you could imagine. I have the best husband in the world. He has done things around the house, that I did not know he knew how to do (you really do learn a lot about eachother the first year of marriage). When he told me he was going to buy funny pipe to move the sprinkler heads, I thought that was a pre-lude to a joke. No joke...Home Depot actually sells something called funny pipe. Who knew? And that 40 foot ladder on the side of our house, adorned by weeds, I really thought it would become a permanant yard fixture. Who actually uses a 40 foot ladder?......a fire man...the guy who works on the electric lines, neither of which are professions of my husband. But he did swing that mega ladder around the house, to get on the roof to de-winterize the swamp cooler. Yet another thing he can do. He is amazing. I am not sure what good deeds I did in life to deserve such a wonderful person to spend the rest of my life with. But what ever I did, must have been amazing, because that is exactly what he is.....amazing. I am sure he will never read this "girly" blog, but I hope he knows how I feel about him.
