I took this picture the first time we looked inside our "future home" with the realtor in Sept. 2006. Mario and I somehow saw something so much more than a house in dire need of a lot of love and hard work! We saw all the potential it had. We bought the "diamond in the rough" house of the block! The front porch light was literally hanging by the wires. There was absolutely no curb appeal! Our friends here in Iowa thought we were crazy! But we knew we loved the neighborhood and all the character the house had to offer. It just needed a family that cared about it enough to bring it back to life. It has taken us nearly 2 years and still going, but it's nice to reflect back on all our hard work and feel good that we're headed in the right direction...
