Celebrating 2 Years!

Whoa! Just typing that title is exciting.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a whole two years since I started this little corner of the internet, with a whopping team of 1 (myself). Even today, it’s just me, but I might have to hire out some of the tedious work soon. There’s only so many hours in a day!

A lot has happened over here at APS in the last year, probably the most exciting is our farm/land purchase (which is official on Tuesday). We looked for YEARS in order to find something that was perfect, and we finally found it. I am a firm believer that everything works out how it was supposed to, and this is the property we were supposed to end up with. Now if building prices could come down, we could build something on it. Minor details!

We also spent 9 months renovating a c.1900 home which we labeled ‘The Farmhouse Project’, which was overall a really neat experience. If you somehow missed that journey, I will link it here.

Somewhere along the way I obtained my real estate license and started APS Homes LLC which simultaneously feels like yesterday as well as last year. I’m chalking it up to this year being really odd.

And just last week I had a national real estate blog reach out to me about sharing my fall porch design post, as well some tips for DIY decorators.

You can check out their post here.

Overall, I would say it was a pretty productive year. Obviously not everything happened that we had planned for, and some things came about that we didn’t plan for but that’s all part of it. It’s both exciting and stressful to think that there are only a couple months left in 2020, exciting to think we are almost done and stressful to think that maybe this is our new normal and we have to just adapt and conquer. Either way, I have some really epic goals for next year.

Thanks for stopping by our little corner of the internet, posting here is one of my favorite hobbies. Until next time…
