The Anniversary Door

On October 18th we celebrated our 1st anniversary! We spent the day at church and grocery shopping, terribly exciting I know. Our trip to California at the beginning of October was really our anniversary trip. We had decided not to buy each other anything because again, we just spent a bunch on our trip, but instead we decided to think of something that we wanted that we would buy for our anniversary.

We tried to think of something fun for our house, but many of the things were too expensive or things we were going to buy anyway and I really wanted the thing we bought to be meaningful somehow. Finally, we decided on a new front door. I like the idea of remembering our wedding and our first anniversary every time we walk in our house. The previous door was ugly and we wanted to replace it, but it definitely was not necessary, so we purchased this door on our anniversary, it took a while to paint it and install it, but here it is!


And the inside:
We feel like it has totally changed the look of the front of our house, our pretty red door stands out and has a window to let light in! It makes the house look cheerful and happy, rather than sad because it had an ugly brown door with dents and a peep-hole.

And every time we walk in and out we will remember the love that lives in our house.
