Yesterday was 8-8-08, as if you didn't know that. The hype was pretty big with the Olympics starting and all. But it is also a bit of a momentous day for us. Five years ago Scott and I signed paper after paper incurring the largest, long term debt of our lives- we bought our house! As I thought back on the last five years, I couldn't help but remember that day; we were so excited. I felt like it was mansion- we had these TWO extra rooms; what were we going to put in them?? Well we filled em up all right. A play kitchen, books, toys, lots and lots of little pink clothes and two beautiful, busy girls! So as I complain about getting that darn basement finished so we have more room (thoughts of a mansion wore off long ago) I have to remind myself that we are so lucky to have a home of our own. Many of our neighbors have not faired as well with the foreclosure mess hitting hard in our little 'hood. I know we won't live here forever. But 8-8-03 and 2015 E Settlers Drive will always be special to me. It's where this whole Starman Family thing started, where we brought our little babies from the hospital-it's our home.

I spy with my little eye some of Steph's beautiful handiwork. She is good! We love living so close to you guys!
Very nice! It's always better to have a home than a mansion.
