This blog will mostly be about our DIY excursions but something you should know about us is that the most important things in our life is God, our marriage, and our family and friends! Our work on our house can never come before those things. I will admit sometimes I am overly zealous about design ideas and find myself having to refocus on what is most important. But first and foremost we love God and want our lives to be for Him and following the example of Jesus. I admit that I fail in this example more times than I succeed but deep down this is my true goal and ambition in life.
Our House:
It's a 1920's craftsman bungalow fixer-upper and we have been hard at work doing just that. Although nothing is exactly as we want it now, it is getting there. This blog is going to be our share all of DIY bliss: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Oh, and did I mention that we both have full time jobs with a local non-profit? Yeah, so time and money are not on our side either. That being said we do not ever spend money we do not have and you will come to realize if you know me or read this blog regularly that I am THE #1 cheapo. I do not pay full price for anything. Craigs list and thrift stores are my best friends and when I shop I go straight to the clearance section first!
Anywho, I will leave you with some pics of us and our life here in St Pete. Please feel free to introduce yourself. I am always happy to meet other bloggers/web-surfers with similar interests!
