I miss home and everything that comes with it. I've now been away from home (Kalamazoo, MI) for five months. This is the longest time away I have ever spent in my 26.5 years of my life. Guess I'm growing up! Cannot wait to go back this summer! The Youngblood residence has evolved quite a bit over the years. My parents bought the property over 25 years ago when it was just a lot of trees. They tore the trees down and built the house from the ground up. I remember when we had a one car garage, no drive-way and an above ground pool.. those were the days :) Now our house has evolved in an estate of a two-car garage with a carport, an underground pool, two ponds and one bog along with my grandma's little apartment style house and the most spectacular garden that has a lot of blood, sweat and tears all over every inch of the grounds.

the bar that was built and finished summer 2011. my uncle, mom, dad and i all worked our booty's off in 100 degree weather to complete this before my brother's rehearsal dinner at our house. this is bar #2 because the first attempt didn't succeed :)
two of the hardest working, selfless people i know. my amazing and talented parents.
