One of the goals, when we started to remodel our home, was to have enough space to have everyone in my giant family over. We were working hard to get it done by Thanksgiving, and we had the big room done and ready to seat 40 people.

Before we moved here, I was adamant that I did not want to live in my childhood home again. It ended up being the best thing we could come up with so I moved back into the house I grew up in. But now, it isn’t so much my childhood home anymore. We’ve got more work to do, but it’s quite a dramatic change so far.

We mostly hung out over Thanksgiving break and worked on the house, but we also did go to a new park for fun one day.
