Dreams fulfilled

As long as I can remember, my dad has been talking about owning a log cabin on a large lot of land in the middle of the country, along with his hunting rifle (with special scope) and his Big Horn Dodge Ram. He is truly a country boy at heart. However, with four kids (spaced 16 years apart), these dreams were put on hold for a long, long time. Finally, after so many years of working so hard, my dad has retired and put his energy into seeing his dreams realized. We stopped by my parents' cabin on their 10 acres on our way back from Jeff City and took a few pictures to share.

Congratulations to my mom and dad! After so many years of putting us first, we are so happy that you were finally able to make this long-time wish a reality.

So exciting! Congrats guys! If you ever need it to be inhabited for a weekend, I'm sure we'll volunteer! ;)
