The first pic is our Christmas card.
Everything that comes after is actually wtf is going on at our house rn…

In case you haven’t heard, we bought a 1905 mansion in Boulder that needs a gut renovation (although the bones are fantastic!!)
So far we…

-Put in a temporary kitchen (it had no kitchen when we bought it)

-Bought a million things off FB Marketplace (including a real butcher block from an actual butcher that we cleaned, sanded, and refinished)

-Moved in 4 bed frames, 4 king mattresses, 2 couches, 2 desks, 2 dressers, and Kevin’s grandparents’ dining room table from St. Louis

-Tested out the leaf SUCKER (it also mulches)

-Hosted 15 people for Thanksgiving (everyone had a different goodwill plate

-Blew out the power multiple times

-Found out the sprinkler system was still on when it snowed for the first time and the pipe burst 💦 

-Dealt with a minor flood in the basement from said sprinkler system 

-Managed a leaky boiler

-Put lipstick on 2 very gnarly bathrooms

-Told 1 million Amazon drivers to stop walking through our backyard to get to the neighbors house 

-Bought 2 different vacuums from Costco (just go with the Dyson) 

-CELEBRATED 16 years of adventures together! 💕

Yes, we are insane. But we are having a blast already! This will be the project of a lifetime. Already recording a ton of horizontal video for a size project… more on that later.

And because everyone always asks for more, there’s much more content of Kev on the way! 😍😍😍
