Home Sweet Home..to Home..to Home..to Home

This is our first home in Texas - we lived here
for just over 3 years - 10404 Ashmont Drive

We moved to our Whitefish Lake Dr. home in
the summer of 2006. This was probably my
favorite house; spacious, kids all had their own
rooms, and a very large back yard. Important
years for Jordan and Kylie in this home.

We moved into the Plantation home as a favor
to our dear friends, Roger and Kim Davis. They
were going to move to Florida and wanted some-
one they 'knew' to rent the home - so we did, at
a very kind price. But I never felt really com-
fortable there. It was always 'the Davis' home'.

This is our current home in McKinney Texas.
We actually moved out of the Frisco First Ward
after 5 years and moved into the 5th ward and
out of Frisco...but same stake and same high
school for Kathryn. We know most of the ward
though as it was split from the 1st ward a few
years ago. Nice home - spacious for just having
one last child at home.

So, we have moved a few times since living in Texas almost 7 years. We have rented the whole time we have been here, mainly because of the instability of jobs and now, most importantly, the economy. We have enjoyed each home, but one or two hold more fond memories for me as certain events happened during that time and/or the kids were at special stages in their lives. We are going into a 2nd year in our current home and we are grateful for a little stability for the time being. Who knows what the future will hold??? But for now, after this past week of moving my office to a new location, it has been very satisfying and peaceful to come home to a place I know we won't have to 'box up' for at least another year.

I love the brick of "Texas" homes. Not much brick in Nevada...

OH, how I know the feeling of being uprooted! You always ask yourself do I really need this when you know a move is forthcoming. Glad you felt at home after moving the office!
