We received our first wedding present within hours of eloping! Our neighbor across the street was out mowing his yard when we broke the news to him and his wife, and jokingly we pointed to our grass (needing mowed!). Before we knew it, he was mowing our yard. Notice the thumbs up? He says "this is your wedding present"! 
The neighbors thought we were crazy as we were spending our "wedding day" working on the house! We pulled all the shutters off and put up a Star! Now all we're waiting for is a hard rain to wash away the dust that has accumulated under the shutters throughout all the years they've been attached to the house!!
For the few of you who saw the house before some transformations...this picture is from when I looked at the house for the first time! Notice the shutters (faded green) and the ugly electric flower bed lighting. All Gone...Thank Goodness, those things were hideous!
Now, finally, our house doesn't look as similar to all the other houses in the state of Kentucky!!

look, you little turds... you're first wedding present was that star you hung on your house on your wedding day- from us, who knew about your secret before you were even married, and gave it to you saying "It's an $11 wedding gift!" LOL I want for you to post a shot of the entire house AFTER you hung the star. And btw, you have awesome neighbors. I love that you all get along so well. Livin' large in KY. xoxoxoxo
