Once upon a time, not quite as long ago as the first two stories,
the year was 2006. The handsome young man was a little bit older with a little less hair and his cute nice wife was also a little bit older, but just as nice as ever. They lived in a very tall gray house on Eastpointe Circle.
One day they decided they might like a smaller house with a few less stairs. After all, four of their five children were all grown up and living in their very own houses. One sassy, slightly spoiled teenage girl named Hayley was the only one still living with them.
One summer day while visiting the handsome-not-so-young man's parents, they learned new homes were being built just a block away. It looked like the perfect spot and size, so that July they put down a deposit and construction began on their twin home in Chase Lane Village. The real work was back in the very tall gray house. The nice, not-so-young couple now had to reduce the stuff that filled a 2800-square-foot home to a small enough amount to fit into a 1600-square-foot home. Decluttering every drawer, cupboard, closet, box, bin and room in the house took weeks. Fortunately, they got everything cleaned and packed, and their very tall gray house sold by Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, their brand new Chase Lane Village home wasn't quite finished which meant they were homeless! They stayed at East Canyon during that time and four days before Christmas Hayley and the nice-not-so-young couple (also known as your Grandpa and Grandma) moved into the home where they still live to this day.
Believe it or not, a new house was not the best new thing in 2006. That happened clear back in the beginning of the year on January 24 when daughter number two (Shelly) and her husband (J.P.) had their very first baby boy . . . also known as our third grandson!
