blog 1: my house

 20161004_174125

this is the house I grew up in. it’s in Mustang Oklahoma, I lived here for almost 15 years. Obviously everyone is probably very fond of the house they grew up in, and this is true for me as well. We moved into this house in 2001, when we bought it, it was in good condition but it was a bit out of date and in need of a few repairs and renovations. My parents didn’t have the money to pay someone to do the repairs so my dad and I along with my younger brothers did them ourselves (don’t tell the current home owners). We couldn’t do them all at once so we would just tackle a new project every so often as we were financially able to. Throughout the years we worked on every square inch of that house. We changed the floors in the entire house, built a deck in the back yard, installed a swimming pool, and converted the garage among countless other repairs. I think I have a story about every square inch of that house, everywhere I look I can recall a memory about that room. Our hands are all over that house. My parents have since moved to California, and I still haven’t worked up the courage to drive past it, I have to admit, I had to have my cousin go and take this picture for me. But I still have so many beautiful memories there, that house was always filled with a lot of love.
