Our Home of Many Dreams

Our dear house,

Are you as excited as we are to see your transformation from a ready made house into a home of dreams and memories? We can't wait to fill your halls and rooms with color and life, to see our own reflections shimmer on the glossy floors and to welcome friends into your entryway.

We'll sit warm and toasty by your fire as the winter winds blow, toast marshmallows over your open flame when the fancy strikes us, and create a picturesque scene for Christmas pictures when our stockings are hung by the chimney with care.

We'll cook to our hearts content in ovens yet to be installed and make double batches of cookies and cupcakes in no time at all.

We'll celebrate birthdays in your backyard, have BBQ's with friends, play catch, blow bubbles and romp in the sprinklers.

Upstairs, we'll peer out the windows, make pillowcase forts, strew toys with glee and play until the sun won't shine anymore and we're tuckered out.

Our children will delight in making a hideout of your closet space, watch neighbors walk dogs down your sidewalk, observe the changing of seasons and the rise and fall of the suns beautiful splendor.

And when the day is done, and my bones are weary from playing and laughing, cleaning and cooking, nurturing and teaching, I'll rest my tired body in your tub and soak away my worries while my angels are each snuggled upstairs in their beds; thankful for the haven and the joy that you bring to each one of us.

We can't wait.
