Day 1

This is the home that I grew up in. I have always lived in the Hegins Valley with my parents and my yellow lab. I took this as my first picture because it is where I really began. This is where I took my first steps, this is where I learned to do many things, and this is where I belong. Our house was built by my great-grandfather, and after his passing my dad bought it. My grandparents on my dad's side lived in the house right next to us until they died in '08. My dad has lived in this valley his entire life too. Mom and dad were married for three years before they had me, and that is where my story began. I do not have any siblings, however when I was born my aunt was 13 and my older cousin was 8. Since they spent a lot of their time at our house, I basically did grow up with two sisters (lucky me right?). I would say that I grew up the way that any average kid would, I had my good days, and my bad ones, but that is what makes a person a person. Our house will always be my true home.
