Since this will be a very long post I'm going to divide it into several parts.
Spring 2008, B and I purchased our first home after renting for almost 2 years of our marriage. We searched all over Wilmington for several months before finding our first home. Just under 1,700 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, a bonus room above the 2 car garage and a fenced in backyard. A great home for a young married couple and their dog.
After being here for almost 7 years, we made grey squirrel dr "our home."
We renovated by doing most of the work ourselves. Minus installing the tile, wood floor and silestone counter tops. When we purchased the house I was in-between jobs which means renovating the house became my full-time job. I ripped up all the carpet, floor tacks, took up the linoleum, painted, was B's helper installing the appliances (that was a pain). It made the house all more special with all the sweat and energy I put in.
We've shared lots of meals. Lots of good ones and maybe more bad ones.

Brody's many different Halloween costumes. His least favorite holiday.
Celebrating Brody's birthday, 7 to be exact. I went from being into my 20s into my 30s in this house. B spent all of his 30s here.
Went through a few hurricanes and tropical storms.

Snow days at the beach.
Christmas decorating.
New Year's Eve shenanigans.
Lazy days.
Every spring, birds build a nest on our front porch wreath to lay eggs. Will miss seeing this.
And we've celebrated 7 wedding anniversaries here.
So many memories in our first home until our greatest memory of all, Miss Vivian Rose!
