Welcome to our happy home, Part One!

Goodness knows the laundry list of mishaps within and without the walls of our condo grows every week.  But I'd like to focus on the positives right now.  Each corner of our condo has been gradually evolving from a mess into a home.  When things go sour, I forget that this transformation is happening.

For instance, our hallway.

This is our place, evolving into a home.  Sometimes we need to step back and look at this.  It's not all wilderness and despair.  It's work, but towards good ends.

Also, please note the happy wife in the last photo.  She's mine.
