A Giant Tree, A Thunderstorm, And A Perfect Wedding

The First Tour
The video below was taken the first day we were in our house. Oh how things have changed!
Hardwood Floors? Oh Yes We Did.
Well, sort of. They’re actually laminate, but the difference doesn’t really matter to us. 😉 Putting in new flooring was our first major project, and boy was it a process! I’ll just list our steps to keep it short and sweet here: 1. Strip away nasty...
A Little Bit of Paradise in Destin
We pulled up to our hotel on the harbor and didn’t think anything in particular about its nondescript exterior, but the lack of wow factor evaporated as soon as we walked in the door.
