In some ways, I feel like we just moved into our first house last year and in other ways, I feel like we’ve been there forever!

The past 5 years have been everything we could have asked for and more from our first home. Although this house was only 1,100 square feet it definitely kept us busy! As a final way to celebrate our time in this red brick ranch, I figured I would take one last look back at the projects that helped make this house our home sweet home — yearbook style.

We could not be more grateful for the time we spent here. I learned SO much about myself, my style, DIY, and homeownership from this first house and have made so many amazing memories surrounded by family and friends. This house may not be our forever house, but it sure has secured a place in our hearts forever.

Goodbye Longview, we’ll miss you!!
