Reply-"Mom and Dad's House"

OK, I agree with you guys, it's sad how long it has taken. Money gets in the way, plus I know how Dad is. He can do most of what they have done, and he wants things done perfectly. So, the best way is to do it yourself! Sadly, we don't have the time needed to do everything we want to do. I remember Grandpa Dunn telling me many times, that time goes faster as you get older. As usual he was right.

So, cabinets are close, and that will be a dramatic change. I am going to come out and help install them to help save some money, I'm sure Jared will be helping as well. It will be very cool when they are in.

So Jillian, you didn't have memories of the Red Bus, but I didn't live in Mom and Dad's house until after my mission. Actually, for a month, in the girls room against the window. I saw Sis. Clayton last year at the Newport Temple, and asked her if she had ever been back to the house since they moved out. She said no, that she couldn't go back not living there, too many memories. I told her they were remodeling it, and she said she could go back since it would not be the same. Interesting how things mean so much for us. Our red bus, the bug, the house, the house for the Claytons, etc. When we were in Brea for Christmas, the kids made me drive by our old house so they could see it. They took pictures. Lot's of great memories in that house for us.

I love the memories, and I love making them. We spent the weekend in the mountains in the snow this last weekend. Our 5 oldest kids each took a friend so we had 11 kids and Robin and I. We had to put the 4th bench seat in the van so we could all fit. Anyway, lots of fun, lots of memories, and Delany's friend broke his leg skiing. I got to sit in the emergency room with him for a few hours.

Good luck Mom and Dad, we love the house, and will love it when it's done!
