Monday Memory


Our first home. I loved this home and neighborhood. We have seven years of wonderful memories here, some of which include...


*first three babies born

*starting our own garden

*all kinds of painting projects

*Creative Memories business

*wonderful church callings

*friendships I will always cherish

*water fight in the kitchen

*fires in the winter

*trying to shove a huge Christmas tree through the door

*Empowering Youth

*jumping on the tramp with popsicles

*Broccoli and Jangles

*Buster Brown

*Crop 'til you drop


I have found that a house becomes a home with family, friends, love, and the gospel. I have been blessed to have come to love three homes in this way (the third is still a work in progress), and have had a hard time leaving each one behind to begin the next chapter of our life. I am grateful for the learning and life that happens inside the walls of our homes. I am truly blessed.

That home also holds some good memories for me. I remember helping you and Doug paint your bedroom the week before you wedding. I also remember coming over after I went to Jerusalem to have you help me crop my pictures. I wish I had a crop there this Friday night!
