This is our nest! I have to admit that the snow makes it look more picturesque than it actually is - mainly because our yard could use some landscaping...all in due time. But I do LOVE our house - the first time we drove up to it, I knew I wanted it. Mr. Cob was not so certain - in fact, he was very skeptical. And he was more skeptical once we set foot across the threshold. Mr. Cob noticed all the imperfections and flaws. But I just saw the potential and the life we could build inside...turns out I was able to convince him of the beauty and I just turned a blind eye to the flaws (this has already come back to haunt me a bit). But it is ours and no one can take that away from us (ok, it's technically the banks' and they can take it away from us if we don't pay our mortgage - but my story sounds so much better when you leave that part out, don't ya think! In 30 year its will be ours!
It's hard to believe we've already been in the house for two months. It's now starting to feel like home, although I have to admit that if you walk inside you wouldn't necessarily know who lived there. Aside from the beautiful canvas picture my brother and sister in law gave us as a wedding gift (see below), we don't have any family pictures put up yet.
I'm going to remedy the lack of displayed photographs soon, but it takes time and energy and creativity and other house projects have seemed to come before the picture hanging. It's on my ever growing to-do list, but I'm going to start checking things off this weekend - really, I am!
