Well..... We have lived in our house for a full year!! Not only is this a big accomplishment for Brett and I because we bought a house but because this is now the longest we have lived in one place since getting married!!!!  I love our house and all the changes we made to it but what I love most about it is it's rental ability!  I am getting antsy, excited and ready for our next adventure, if only we had something planned.  For now, we are happy to be in Gig Harbor with our families and great jobs!  Here are a few photos of our house remodel! Personally, I don't think the pictures do all of Brett and our families hard work justice.

 all our paint!! This does NOT include the 18 gallons of KILZ paint we used to coat the entire house!

 4 Heacox girls and 1 Teodoro all trying to decide on paint.  Yikes!

However, I could not have done it without all the help!

Hosting our first dinner at our house long before the remodels were finished! Warmth came from the fireplace and dinner came from the grill!!!  The Teitzel's and Langlow's were such good sports! Look closely, you can see Nicole's belly while she was pregnant with baby Jake! (whom will be a year old at the end of the month)


I know these are not great pictures but shooting a room is seriously hard.  Hope you like all the changes and updates! It was a lot of fun and a LOT of work!!! Here's to hoping to never do it again... :)
