Have I ever told you that I have 7 siblings?

5 sisters & 2 brothers

Let me compare our housing then with our housing now.

Then...

10 of us living in one small house

6 girls in 1 small bedroom

2 boys in an even smaller bedroom

my parents in the only other bedroom

an average size living room

no family room

a smallish eat in kitchen

no dining room

one car garage where my dad actually parked our car

ONE tiny bathroom. ONE. 1  O.N.E.

Can you imagine?! 6 girls plus my mom sharing 1 bathroom!

my brothers and dad, well...they survived.

Now...

There are 3 of us living here
although our grown kids and grandchildren visit often

We have 4 bedrooms

an average size living room

which is our home office

a dining room

we hardly ever use

a small galley kitchen

but with lots of storage

2 1/2 bathrooms

a HUGE family room

we use it soooo much

and absolutely love it

a 2 1/2 car garage

which we can barely walk through

just keeping it real

(and who has 1/2 a car anyway?)

We are so very blessed!!!

Be Happy!
