There were so many great memories in our first home! I was definitely ready to move, but saying goodbye still was emotional.
Here are some fond memories that are attached to this house.
Paul and I got married December 21, 2002. We closed on this house at the end of January 2003. We were so excited to be newlyweds and getting our first home in such a short period.
We had some time left on the lease at the apartment across town so we spent time fixing up the house before moving in. Here is a picture of Paul after spilling paint, luckily we had a drop cloth down.
Paul also painted the garage floor with a shop type finish and installed blinds throughout. I also remember having a picnic on the floor for Valentine’s Day before moving in. This is the only time we have used our wedding china. We have got to pull that stuff out!
Paul’s cousin (James) helped us build on a covered back porch.
We extended the front flower beds. Our neighbor Reggie was a huge help. She mentored me (too bad I was not a better mentee) in gardening and even helped dig out the beds. We will miss our great neighbors!
Bella was apart of our family for most of the time we lived in the house.
We had a boat for a while. That was fun, but we are happy we sold it when I was pregnant with Greyson.
We brought Greyson home from the hospital and raised him for his first 4 1/2 years in this home.
This was Piper’s first home for 1 1/2 years.
We celebrated several birthdays and Christmas’ and enjoyed everyday life!
Many great memories of this home and I look forward to continuing to make great memories in our next home!
Home is where friendships are formed and families are grown, where joy is shared and true love is known, where memories are made and seeds of life are sown.
Here is how it looked when I did my final walkthrough.
