In April 2012, we had 118,831 blog views. Our highest month, March, had 147,538 blog views.
Jen at IHeart Organizing was the first person to feature one of our projects, my office bookshelves. We’ve been blog friends ever since.

2012 has been a busy year for us. We accidentally found our dream house, made an offer, accepted, and closed on a new house in April, starting the whole process over. In addition to listing our first home by owner, accepting an offer, and signing closing papers, relinquishing ownership.
We’ve already torn apart a bathroom and have started putting it back together again. None of this would have happened (well, we still would have worked on our first house and bought the mountain house) without you and your support. Your comments have made me laugh, smile, and have encouraged and inspired me. I am grateful to have ‘met’ each of you. I know I don’t say it enough, but thank you for following along as we work, offering advice, and leaving amazingly kind comments.
That’s how our blog has grown over the past two years. Now we’re keeping another tradition alive. A Q and A post, so feel free to ask your questions in the comment section and we’ll write a round up post next week. Oh, and I’m trying to find a time to shoot a house tour video. Hopefully we’ll have something soon!

Questions:
Tell us how you met Ben.
How about your biggest project fail (from the distant past or more recently).
Your favorite project to date.
What project you’re most looking forward to at the new house (even if it’s not happening for awhile).
When you want me to come visit. 😉 Okay, you don’t have to answer that one. I know you want to come visit me, so I’ll just keep waiting.
None of those are worded as questions, oops!
