Happy 3 year anniversary to our house

It was 3 years ago this month that we bought our first house, the house we are still living in today! I want to wish our house a happy anniversary.  We have truly put blood, sweat, and tears...and quite a bit of money into our home to make it what it is today.  When we came across this house it was an absolute stinky, disgusting mess of a place.  When our family came to see what we were buying they couldn't even stand to be in the house for more than 15 seconds.  Our house was a repo and the prior owners (who built it and lived in it for 15 years) didn't take care of it at all, lived without any flooring for 2+ years and let their many, many animals go to the bathroom wherever they pleased. There were holes in the walls, dirt and grease everywhere...but hey it's home, right! Well 3 years later, and a lot more than 3 projects later, and a lot of paint later,  we have made it home.  A new roof, a new fence, a newly graded yard with new grass and flower beds, new paint everywhere, new carpet everywhere, new tile, new fixtures, Kedrick finished the basement, I painted the cabinets in the kitchen, lots of decorating and finishing touches---and at last we can take a deep breath and huge break from projects and just enjoy the hard work we put into our home to make it what it is.  :)  Will we ever buy a repo again....probably not.  Has it been a good ONE time experience, sure! Was it worth the good deal we got on the home... I think so.
