My House


To me, the most wonderful piece of real estate is my home in Murphy, Texas. My house is the shell to so many memories- christmases, thanksgivings, birthdays, graduations. It is the one place I know where I can always go if I am having a bad week and need a good home cooked meal, or a hug from my little brother. There is something about returning to a house, and being able to make my way around a kitchen, or knowing where some obscure item like super glue is. It takes time to learn those things, I love that about homes. You spend time there.

I chose my home, because to me, a house is an extremely dynamic pieces of property. Houses span from countless different styles, designs, and sizes. Even the exact same model house could be completely different on the inside, it could mean something different to another family. A house is personalized with photos, and family possessions, and those horrible tacky presents that little brother bought for his mom one year. Homes are the most important pieces of architecture to the mass majority of society.

One day, I want to be able to help a family purchase that shell. That place where they will build memories, have family dinners, come closer together. I want to see the joy in a mother's face when I give her the key to her new house. I want to drive by a house I helped a couple buy and see Christmas lights up. My favorite place on earth is my home, and I hope to one day give that feeling to someone else.
