Woodruff Home

We lived in this Woodruff Home from June 2004 to June 2012, eight years. Mason, Emmett, and Olivia were all brought home from the hospital in this home. Because I had to clean the whole house to get it ready to sale I thought I would take a few pictures to remember it by. This house has been such a perfect home for us. Aaron tiled the downstairs bathroom in one night and built a closet door the next. He is amazing. He designed and installed the kitchen and bathrooms too.

College Station, Texas

I was checking out College Station and these are the things they are on the top 100 list for...
What hit me the most was that we are moving to a very young and educated place. "I butter go get myself sckooled" and a face lift too.

For those that don't know me. I am just kidding. Aaron and I are very exited and know we will fit right in and love our new home.

Dear Woodruff Friends,

Everything has finally caught up to me.

Will we be loved like we are in Woodruff? Will there be other moms in Texas that will love my sons, like SO many of you do!? Will there be a priesthood leader to guild Taylor when he turns 12? Will Cameron find a friend that treats him good. Will Mason's teacher help him like Linda Cornia would? Is anyone going to be personally invest in our friendship? Will we relate to anyone there?

I remember the first year living in Woodruff, Aaron and I would laugh at how slow everyone talked. We both remember how we had to purposely talk slow so we could communicate better with the friends here in Woodruff. Well last night I called the bishop's wife, of one of the wards in College Station, and she was talking so fast I had a hard time talking. The same thing happened with the next women I called that lived in College Station. Do you think they would mind if I asked them to slow down and relax a little when they talk to me? At least for the first year.

I love you all and will miss you VERY much.
Love, Crystalyn
