Making a house YOUR home

Well here it goes my first blog... WE have and own our own house but yet it does not feel like a home inside or out yet . I have lived here for over 3 years its a Beautiful open spaced home . When i first moved in it felt like an empty Canvas that we could make our own, but three years in and it does not feel like we have made much of a dent, in all i wanted done and needs doing, Instead of feeling Happiness of ALL we have accomplished like a new roof, brand new bathroom, done from the floors up. and our kitchen i personal did a refurbishing on all my Kitchen cabinets new wood and paint all new hard wear (Jay did install the hard wear) . for some reason i feel overwhelmed . So much left to do i need new counter tops and just found out its going to be very expensive to replace them so once again i feel frustration and i don't think Jay could care less if they get done. I must admit as I'm heading into my older years i have become VERY IMPATIENT i like things done when i want them done, and my JAY HES THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE so we clash i don't stop Nagging and get SO mad i just start doing things around the house with out him. Thinking he should just automatically want to help silly me eh, . Eg:I went and rented a steamer to remove the living room wall paper and bought paint too started the job for some odd reason he thought i wanted to do this BIG JOB on my own.. I dropped hints but never asked directly for his help SO live and learn i guess. So communication is key men don't know what you want if you don't tell them directly. So we talked and are working together this week to make our house a home and i feel so much more relaxed for it,
