The other day I was trying to find a client's home and I got lost of course! The street seemed very familiar to me though. And then all of a sudden I knew why.... because there stood our first apartment. Yep, that lovely picture is our first home. At first I thought it looked like it had age badly but as I looked closer...NOPE it looked the same as it did back then!! It was a cheap tiny 2 bedroom apartment. I think we only paid $180 a month and could barely afford that.Clay was 19 and I was 20, we were both young and naive. It didn't matter where we lived, we just wanted to begin our life. Both families thought we wouldn't make it so we had a lot to prove.We faced many trials in that little apartment but there were many more happy memories...our first Christmas,bringing home Shantel,her first words and steps, our first anniversary etc...
That's us with Shantel on our lovely couch from my favorite store the D.I. and to the chagrin of my children still is one of my favorite stores. And by the way, yes big hair was in then!!!!! So it goes to show you it doesn't matter what the outside of your home looks like but what goes on in the inside!

That is a fun memory. I had no idea the DI held a special place in your heart. Grandma would be so proud!!
Wow! At first I thought that was Brittany holding the baby and then I realized it couldn't be! Great hair...I remember those days well!
