We're well preserved!

(Thanks to Busy Mom for the subject line. :) )

The moment we'd been waiting for finally arrived, and our house won a
preservation award from Nashville's Historical Commission. We
genuinely didn't think we'd win, sitting at the ceremony watching all
the other winners be presented, with projects far bigger than ours.
But when they called out our names, we sure weren't going to turn the
plaque down!

Karsten is thinking of wearing it on a chain around his neck.
