Two weeks ago we did NOT celebrate our five year anniversary in our house in Myrtle Beach. However, I thought I'd blog about it and show off some of our favorite places in our house. Below are a couple pictures of our house as it looked five years ago.
My wife has repainted all the rooms in the house once and probably a couple of them twice. She's done an amazing job of decorating and redecorating and redecorating. We've added several bigger things in the house, one of them is our treadmill which is in our front hallway. Along the wall on the left we have an endless amount of family pictures, mostly of our kids over the years.(22 frames of pictures)
My wife recently changed the laundry room and here's a current picture of her laundry room. The washer is either on the right or the left.
We still do not have a television, but we continue to talk about it. This is the wall that might have a television on it one day, or maybe not.
The central part of my office in the front of the house is my library of books. I came down here with about 300 books and I estimate I have 400-500 today. The books are about politics, comedy, history, biography, self-help and sports. You can also see Eli Manning above the lamp celebrating winning the Super Bowl, quotes from John and Robert Kennedy on a white plaque on the far left, (no pun intended) and a couple of Frosted Flakes boxes on top of the bookshelf saluting Derek Jeter and The New York Rangers winning the Stanley Cup in 1994.
Outside the house, the plants and flowers are always being changed. Below are a couple pictures of the fenced in backyard with some of the plants and flowers we currently have and of course the fountain of water that our dog checks on every day to make sure it is still there.
The porch picture below looks like the side of our neighbor's house, but you can see the large windchimes on the left and some more plants. There are purple lights that go on at night which is a pretty cool color in the evening.
Finally, the house in the front today has a palm tree that has grown pretty well and a bunch of flowers and plants too. Happy birthday house!
