20 years together and we have had such a life - work hard - play hard - challenges and rewards and oh so many changes ~ different homes, different jobs, different roles, different goals - but one thing that has been there, almost from the beginning - the lake!
Since our first summer with our youngest child, we have been coming to the lake - my nieces and nephews, my sister in law and I - so many, many memories - many at grandma and grandpa's lake home - but newer memories at the house next door, the house we bought to fix up and call our own...
I could write a novel on the trials and heartaches of the renovations, but I won't - they are officially behind us now -New memories are being made, and after almost 15 years of coming here, our kids have no real memory of not having the lake be a highlight to their summers ~ yesterday hitting our favorite restaurants, playing a couple of rounds of goofy golf and now, as I sit here savoring this moment, Lexi and her aunt Stephanie and cousin Brian are swimming off the neighbor's dock, Josh is fishing and I am enjoying a little peace and quiet in my new favorite chair :), and then tonight, I am certain -movies, popcorn and stretching out on the big sofa <3>lake house has officially been upgraded to lake home...
