Our house is far from perfect (somedays, its even far from presentable), but it always reminds me of how gracefully God has provided for me. We have a great front porch, a newly renovated kitchen, a cozy fireplace and a great back deck and garden. But more importantly, we have lots of memories. Here are just a few:
-Our first meal in the house: Chinese food & beer on the floor in the empty sunroom.
-Inviting all our wedding guests over as part of wedding-day St. Louis scavenger hunt. (We were finding notes hidden around our house for months. The hardest ones to find were behind the wall clock and in a gallon of icecream in our freezer.)
-Sleeping on the floor by the fireplace the night our furnace broke.
-Pulling chairs from all over the house and packing them into the living room every Tuesday to host community group. Many of those members are now dear friends.
-Meeting 30 of our neighbors in a back yard BBQ this past spring. It was long overdue and so rewarding.
I love my home and I'm eager to share that with you.
