Reno Year

As 2017 is coming closer to an end and 2018 looms ever closer, there are some BIG changes on the horizon for Daniel and I.

The first thing we've realized we have to tackle and can no longer put off is some home renovations. We will need to tackle the kitchen (flooring, replacing the stove, and possibly changing some cabinets). I want to add in built in benches to the breakfast nook, which hopefully we will be able to tackle ourselves to help cut down on labor costs. And we also need to change the flooring in the living room/dining room/hallway thanks to damage done by two adopted dogs who struggled to adjust (meaning: marking). So yeah. HUGE expenses coming up.

We've been sitting here trying to figure out how to find the money to do this. And honestly, I think it's just going to come down to us eating rice/beans, oatmeal, soups, and chilis for the next year. LoL. Back to broke!

We have some other big changes coming up next year too, but those are still very much up in the air right now. We need to tackle the renovations first!
