Kim and I were just reminiscing about this time last year, when in between conference sessions we all piled into the car to see the new house that would become our family's home. Mom and Michael didn't want to show any of us the house until they had finished the basement and other such projects. So after the first session of conference, we followed them to Sandy to get our first tour of the new house.
First they took us to a "joke" house. It was pretty small and looked fairly run down..so we all got out of the car trying to stay positive, even though we were thinking "I thought the new house was supposed to be bigger than the old ones!" Michael even took a picture of all of us on the front lawn. And then they said just kidding and we all piled in the car again.
We went up a couple more streets and finally arrived at the real house. Walking through the house for the first time was like Christmas. We did it all together, and they had picked out everyone's rooms already. It was so fun to see everyone's reactions. For me, it was weird how much the house felt like home, even though I wouldn't even be living there. It just seemed like the perfect house for our ever growing family.
Now, a year later, the house is very broken in, and we all still love it! It has definitely become our home.
