All You Need

This weekend marked our one year anniversary in our new home.  

In each of the three homes we've owned,  I've left something behind.  We're leaving our permanent mark in this one on the staircase with a line from one of our favorite songs.

"All You Need Is Love"

I guess if you're the kind of person that won't put a nail in a wall for fear of messing up, the idea of stamping song lyrics onto your wood staircase might cause palpitations. It makes me smile every time I see it.  
I love this house. I love our life in this house and am so grateful for every single day here.  
Like most houses 20 years old it needs some updating and I know we will get to it. But while we're all blogging and Pinning and Facebooking and tweeting about what we want to do with our homes, let's make time...lots of time, to just be happy at home with the people we love the most.
Here in Houston, school starts in two weeks. We're going to make sure we squeeze every last drop out of our summer break.
