Yesterday was exactly one year since we moved into our house! Instead of the blizzard we had last year on moving day, we had a beautiful, warm, sunshiney day! Both Saturday and Sunday we shovelled the snow drifts in the yard to be out in the sunny areas to melt faster. Yesterday I took our patio furniture out of the shed and put it back on the deck. I even put my laundry outside to dry

We opened the windows for the first time since last year and let the fresh air flow through the house! It was great! Tomorrow is supposed to get cold again, just barely above freezing

At least we had spring for a little while.
Last night Scott and I were talking about how a year ago, we would have been setting up a mattress to sleep on in the spare room, and how we were so excited to wake up in the morning to see that Layla had made her way downstairs overnight to pee on her pad. We didn't know that two weeks later our lives and her life would change so drastically

But we have made it through a year now. We were worried about house payments to begin with, but we've managed to get through it, put our dog through spinal surgery and rehab, and save enough to go to Europe. We don't have to worry anymore. And if we could make it through this past year together, I think we can make it through our whole lives together
