We have not forgotten

Memorial Day has taken on many reasons over the years, but it originated as a day of rememberance for our fallen military heroes.  I have many in my family.  Uncles and grandfathers who fought in World War 2 and my dad and uncle served in the Vietnam era.  I have cousins who continue the tradition in our family and are true patriots.

I would also like to express our gratitude to the many who continue to protect our great country, and the families who sacrifice in their absence.  We are eternally grateful.

So while you enjoy the barbecues and first trips to the beach, hug your family and remember the true meaning of the day.  We salute you.

Among my favorite things

I love to see our home owners light up the first time they see their hardwork and dedication pay off the day their home is set on the foundation.  But I have found it equally rewarding when a client gets to see their home in process as well.

John and Brad made the trek to the Bill Lake Show to get a sneak peek of their new chalet.  When I arrived at Bill Lake's on Friday I realized that it had only been framed, and I was afraid they may be disappointed.  But by the time they arrived on Saturday, the sheetrock was up and being taped! 

I could hear them say to anyone who would listen "that's my house!"  And everyone was delighted to hear that.

After posting a photo on facebook, another client of ours remarked how special that day had been for her too- now TWO years ago.

Boy time flies when you're having fun!
