So about 8 years ago my wife and I bought land on literally the country mile I grew up on.
We closed on the land Sept 11th. Built up a driveway, sewer, well, and electricity, plopped a trailer house on it,
and moved in just before Thanksgiving.
The next year we built a pole shed, and 1 1/2 years after that built a house. (Which we general contracted our selves.)
(Had 2 kids during this time as well.)
Seems like there is always projects going on. Building a swing set, we had horses for a while, cows for a different while,
mowing, working on landscaping, farming, Work, etc, etc...
It has been a lot of work.
This weekend I finally took the time and put up a flag pole.
I have been wanting to do this for a long time now, just always had stuff going on.
We always had a flag on the side of the house, but its not the same.
There is something special about stabbing a flag in the ground and claiming your spot!
We feel like even with the house, shed, playground... We now have "roots".
I am very proud to be flying our colors and also proud of what we have accomplished in the last 8 yrs.
So I share some pics:
Special thank you to all of our veterans and current military on this site and out there!
I wouldn't be able to fly this flag if it wasn't for all of our brave brothers and sisters!
Thank You for letting me share this proud moment with you all!
