The story of a house that thought it could...

Buying our home 4 years ago we were pretty naive. We sank our teeth into a fixer upper that never ends! I can't explain the soft spot I have for this house, its old. Very Old. Built in 1914. But slowly we took rooms here and there and started making it our own. We are still miles from where we would like to be, and have lots of projects still to check off the list but its encouraging to look back and see how far we have come . Thats kinda what our personal lives were like at this point too. 4-5 years ago was a pretty pivotal point for us in our relationship. It looked rough and raw but somehow there was enough there to pull us through. Now with Alex going through some really tough times with his health and emotions, I see another pivotal point in our lives . One that we can't let him down on. Its going to take all the love that this little 1914 house can hold to bring Alex around . and even more love for Andy and Aaron to understand what he is going through and that they are not being forgotten ! Just as we have brought our old house back to life, and worked through the rough times in marriage, we will be there supporting Alex and letting him know. yes , he can. This will always be a house of hope and belief!
