The joys of home ownership

For awhile we have been working on updating our kitchen.  One of the joys of buying a house built in the 50's means that there are plenty of areas for improvement.  Luckily, the bathroom in our house was already updated when we bought it, so we've been wanting to update the kitchen for awhile.  Back in June we got the countertops replaced and couldn't be happier!  However, then we got married and one week turned into a couple weeks...and finally over Labor Day weekend we finished the backsplash!

I don't know what Julle's beef was with the previous look, kind of rustic if you ask me!



So, after a coat of paint, some mosaic tiles...voilĂ !





I was nervous about installing tile since I never had before, but it was simpler than I made it out to be.  Now I think I can tackle the kitchen floor...now just the "easy" part of picking out tile with Julle!

Married life begins...

As you probably know (and probably do if you're reading our blog), we got married just over a month ago.  It seems so long ago that I can't believe all that we have done in the days that have past since tying the knot!  What a better way to kickstart our new blog than with some pics from our special day?  Here are some of our faves, enjoy!

Studly Groom
Beautiful Bride
Our ringbearer - Jake's nephew, Adrial (love this one!)
All the gents
All the lovely hosts

Not cheating!

We did it!




Wouldn't be a Kansas City wedding without some fountains

Maybe the next post will have some shots from the reception ;)
