The House That Love Built



























































































Many of our friends and family know that my parents have been trying to build their dream home for over 20 years. If you know that then you probably know how many obstacles they have had to overcome. If I had to describe our family in one word it would be LARGE. I think that word is perfect for us. Dad and Mom love each other (Large), they have 8 children & so far have 12 Grandchildren so that makes our family (Large), they have been happily married for 35 years so they have spent a (Large) amount of time together. Having that many kids means they spend a (Large) amount of money. With that many in one house they use a (Large) amount of everything from gallons of milk, and tea to rolls and rolls of toilet paper. To keep the house tidy mom has spent a (Large) amount of time doing laundry, cooking, & cleaning. Dad has, and still does spend a (Large) amount of time laying in bed at night worrying about money and how he will provide for his family. When we travel together it takes a (Large) amount of Patience's, time, and will to survive the trips. Dad and Mom have always told us to live and live (Large), from pursuing our dreams to overcoming any obstacles in our way. I think the best thing about our family is how (Large) we do things. We laugh, fight, and love (Large). So with all this talk about how LARGE our family is, their dream house better be Large, right? So here is the second addition to their dream house, by the way, the family has all helped in building. So now the Brumley's build LARGE. This is no doubt the house that LOVE built........... P.S. Dad and Mom, don't look at how far we have to go, just look at how far we've come! -Jennifer-
