Clean Slate!

I titled this post "Clean Slate" because I really feel like the picture of the before and after of our new (to us) home represents how we want to proceed with our life after my husband retires from military service.

It's been a long 20 years and we are ready to start living life on the other side of the gates! My husband actually has 23 years for service with 20 of those years active duty. I am so proud of him and his dedication and determination to be the best trained soldier..

So back to the house- My hubby took some leave to travel to the state where our home is to check on it and to also get it Homestead. Without doing that, we would have an enormous tax bill because it would be considered a vacation home.

When he arrived at the home he first noticed how over grown everything was and it had an abandoned look to it, even thou the previous owner visited every couple months (supposedly) and had the lawn mowed at least once a month during the growth season. Here is the before and after of what my hubby had done while he was there to the front of the house..

The title fits well I think :)
