A lot has changed since we moved in to our home in 2002. When we first move in, Austin was 6, Brandon was 3, and Liam had not yet celebrated his first birth-day. There is a lot more to our home than cement and lumber, this experience built in us a hope for a brighter future. Our home has provided stability for us. We had moved several times trying to find a place that would accommodate the size of our family and our financial circumstances. Owning a home was an answer to prayer for our family.
Not long after we moved in I found new hope in other dreams I had long forgotten or just given up on. When the boys were all in school full time I decided to pursue post secondary education. In the spring of 2008, I graduated from Business College with an Honours diploma in Microcomputer Software Support. I am currently on contract with the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce as an Administrative Office Assistant. I am grateful that we have been blessed with the opportunity to build our home. It’s been almost 7 years since our home was built. Home ownership has played a significant role in the growth of my self-confidence and self worth, and I strive to instill those qualities in my boys.
