I understand that it is particularly cliche to blog about my own home. However, I am fascinated with its history relative to my family. My home located in the Southside of Fort Worth was designed and built by my grandfather in the early-1960s. The home is a red brick ranch style home with an expansive back yard and looming oak trees. My family moved from Colorado in 2004 and we bought the property from my grandparents as they were looking to downsize. The house was then gutted and redesigned from the studs up by my parents. It’s just a fascinating scenario where many years were both spent in the original home as well as the redesigned version. I have many fond memories relative to both. Ironically, I spent all of my years in Texas in the same room that my mother grew up in. Likewise, my mother has lived at the same Briarhaven Road address for the majority of her life. I enjoy the idea of homes being passed down through family and am grateful to be a recipient of that process.
