Some beginnings are loud and exciting, but for Sarah and me, ours started quietly at 247 Maple Lane, with a warm welcome from Linda, our realtor. The house wasn’t extravagant, but its cream siding, black shutters, and flower-filled yard radiated care and community.
For Sarah, it symbolized her dream of building a family—nursery rooms, shared meals, and laughter echoing through the halls. For me, it meant relaxing evenings, the smell of barbecue in the air, and a place to return to my love of woodworking in the garage.
As we walked through the house, we didn’t need to speak much. Every glance confirmed our decision—this was where we wanted to build our future.
Maple Lane wasn’t special because of rising property values, but because it offered something priceless: a sense of home and permanence, the foundation for the life we dreamed of together.
