Ok. It seriously feels like just the day before yesterday, I was reluctantly house hunting. And it feels like just yesterday that I was blogging that it was the 2nd year house anniversary, complaining that it felt like just yesterday I was blogging about our 1st year house anniversary.
When we bought our house in 2009 , we qualified for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Rebate (I think it was $7K), but the catch was that we had to live in the house to for 3 years. Glad to know that as of today, that $7K is officially ours to keep. =D
We haven't done much to the house this year since I spent about half of 2011 being pregnant. But also, since we got a lot of major work done on the house the first 2 years, it's smooth sailing from here on out!

What kind of stuff have we done to the house within the last year?
Well..
- Put up dry wall in the garage.
- Leveled out the grassy area in the backyard. Previously, if you were frolicking in the grass in our backyard, a sprained ankle was guaranteed. (We didn't buy the house like this. When we hired some guys to run the electrical wiring underground in our backyard, those idiots failed to put back all the soil that they dug up! Then grass grew over the trenches...) .
- Got a new front door.
What changes do I foresee for this upcoming year?
- Get a screen door for our front door, so mosquitoes and flies don't get into the house!
- Get brand new heating and air conditioning unit installed. (We have HVAC guys coming over tomorrow for a consultation!).
