Joyful Moments-SLC House


Happy Friday! We're also going to be joining the ladies from For the Love of Blogs!
We're so excited to have them join us.

I wanted to share with you the place where Kevin and I currently live.
It has brought us lots of JOY to be living here and a lot of laughs as well.
We live in a teeny tiny apartment in the back of this house.
Several of  Kevin's siblings have lived in the teeny apartment over the years.
I don't think we'll be the last of them either.

Kevin's great-grandparents built this house. 
It's in the heart of Salt Lake City, right near Trolley Square, 9th and 9th, and the University of Utah.

The house is historic it's over a hundred years old.
There's a lot that needs to be restored and repaired but for now it's home to five college students.
Three of them live in the front.

This house has a lot of history to it because Kevin's dad grew up here.
It means so much to his dad.

I love the vintage look, because they just don't build things like this in new houses.

Many family memories were definitely spent here.

Where we love is home-home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. 
~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Please join us in the continuing journey of finding JOY!

    Joyful moments is great! It's so important to not only have joyful experiences, but to document them so that you can always remember what you felt at that time. Can't wait for the next round of joy!!!
