This is Your House

     This is your house, Jeffrey. But it's not just any house. Daddy and I looked and looked for a house that would be a good home for our future family. We both actually loved this one because of the outside. I loved that there are 50 oak trees on the lot and Daddy loved the big backyard for his future bird dog. Since then, this house has become a wonderful home for us. This is the house we brought you home to. It's not fancy, but it feels right. It feels like home. "Home is where your mom is," is true and this is where your mom is and loves to be!
     We moved into this house in June, 2010. Doc helped us move. We have some funny memories of that day. "Adventures in moving," as Doc would say! About a week later, we spent Father's Day here celebrating our wonderful fathers, Doc, Grandpa and Pop. I didn't know then that when I "kicked" Doc off that evening it would be the last time I would see him. Pop also passed away in October that same year. I am so glad we have that Father's Day memory here. Memories like that remind us of how important it is to spend precious time with the people you love.
     We have made many great memories here since and will continue to make them. Now they will include YOU! Who knows how long this will be our home. I am hoping a very long time!
