In the winter of 2002 Justin and I bought our first home - it was a diamond in the rough - to put it nicely... Some family members thought we were crazy - the house was a fixer that we took down to the studs over the next three months. We spent evenings and weekends tearing out tile, cabinets, carpets. I actually got up on the roof (briefly) to help remove the old shingles. It was a labor of love and thanks to Justin's incredible home remodeling skills and the enormous help from ALL of our handy friends and family, we made 15449 Woodcrest not just our first house but our HOME. Everything was new and beautiful and over the last 8 years we continued to improve it by first bringing Alli Dog home, and then a year later Ella Phyllis slept under it's roof :) a short 19 months later Lilah Alice made Woodcrest her first home. It is the home of our beginnings - the beginning of our marriage, our careers, our family... and we are so fortunate to be able to keep Woodcrest to rent to a new family and we know that 12003 Penford will be a home of new beginnings - most importantly the beginning of our family of FIVE. Just about 3 more weeks until we meet the newest Mayernik and bring her home to the house of new beginnings.
