💜Who teaches you perseverance?

💜My husband!

So I knew my husband was brilliant from seeing his designs over the years and marveling at his mad skills when we had “art dates.”

He, like me, worked for years in a corporate environment that had everything you could want on paper, but in practice left something to be desired.

So he bought some land. He spent his free time sketching, then making models (pictured), then drawing blueprints, then pouring the foundation. The result, of course, is this gorgeous home.

I never doubted that the house would be beautiful, or for that matter, never believed that it would be easy to bring it to life. I just couldn’t have imagined the force of will it would take to wake up every day, for 365 days, and go at it with no real guarantees. And he did it.

So please excuse the gushing. Secondhand pride is strong. Someone just get me some tissues and get this man a beer.
