I am thankful Mom and Dad let us stay in their home for eight months.
Ebony chewed all their doorknobs and escaped to the cornfield every chance she got.
Max the Cat bit Mom and Dad's cat Oliver on the butt. (Doubly rude - Max was in Oliver's house AND Oliver must have been running away at the time!) I took Oliver to see Dr. Teter since I did not yet have a veterinary job in town.
I am thankful our house in Omaha smelled like apples when we first walked through.
That is why I told the previous owner (against Karen and John, our real estate agent's frantic advice) that I would pay anything to own her house.
Because Mom and Dad let us live with them, and because our house-to-be smelled like apples, everything came together to provide our favorite living space to date.
Buying our house is one of the best decisions we have ever made. We love our neighbors, we love the schools and we still love our little home.
