I didn't think about it until just now, but 15 years ago today we moved into our home here in Farmington. It has been a great place to live. We have had our ups and downs. 9 July, 2001 it rained 1.75 inches of rain in 20 minutes, the water ran down the hills above us, putting 4 feet of water in our basement in 10 minutes. No insurance for that one and the city was no help. We have had great family experiences like most families do. Our street has a good steady group of neighbors. Houses don't go up for sale too often. We feel lucky, blessed, fortunate, you name it.
Our first Christmas was interesting. Boxes, the smell of fresh paint, a make shift Christmas tree, but it was Christmas, just as much as any other year. The kids have grown and married, we look older, but we still cannot wait for Santa Claus.
