We are moving!  I am very excited but also a little sad to leave our first home.  This has been such a fun house to live in.  I'll always remember it as a special place because our first 3 years of being married were spent here.  I can remember when Whit and I were dating and he asked me if I liked this house.  Then one day we went to lunch and after we were finished he said he wanted to take me somewhere.  He put a jacket over my head to cover my eyes and then we ended up in our driveway where he said that he had bought it.  He asked me to help him pick out paint colors and come up with ideas to fix it up.  I told him that I shouldn't do that because I was just his girlfriend ... he said I wouldn't always be his girlfriend!  About 2 months after that we got engaged and then about 4 months later we got married.  First it was Whit, Walker and me ... then we added Leroy ... and then we got to bring Lee home to this house.  Some other things I have loved about it are 4th of July parties, being so close to the square and mountain, having lots of friends over and Christmas time.  There are a lot of fun things about living in an old house and I have tons of great memories here.
