We knew it’d be a big job, but Cal and I wanted this house to be the home our kids grew up in.
“The yard’s huge, honey,” Cal told me. “Imagine all the birthday parties and maybe even our kids getting married here. I love it.”
We put all our savings into fixing it up, making it not just livable but a real home for our family. Our kids deserved it.
As things came together, Cal, who loves tech, installed a fancy smart home system.
“It’s finally ours,” Cal said, smiling as he showed me how the system worked. “It feels like home.”
Months passed, and we settled in. The kids adjusted great, and Cal and I grew closer. We took long walks together, and the kids had picnics all the time.
