1001 Moore Road. Lots of memories in that house. I was a lucky one to get to grow up in the same house my whole childhood.
Growing up, we typically had a backhoe, or one of dads plumbing trucks in the driveway. This is a picture of one of our favorite things to play on. Of course Bekah was the driver. She was always in charge. (Notice the matching swimsuits).
We loved having people over. I was blessed to grow up with parents that liked to show love to people by inviting them to our house. You could count on having a concert in the piano room while mom and dad were finishing up the dishes. Cyndee on the piano, Bekah on the drums... and Troy and I singing our loudest to our favorite Chicago or Celine Dion song .
4 years ago, my dad remarried. He and his wife Donna has been living in this same house we grew up in. This year, they decided to do some renovations/add ons to our ole house. At first, we kids felt a little sad about it. Things being different and all. But we know that we will always have the memories we made in that house, and dad is just making it a nicer place for them to live.
So today, I was over helping them clean to get ready to move back into the house. I laughed when my job was to take the glow in the dark stars off of Bekah's ceiling. I remember thinking she was so cool for writing out the word "HI" with these stars. So when you turned out the lights you would just see a big galaxy of stars saying "HI" as you sleep.
Thats my story for the day. Can you tell I am sentimental?
