"I have always wanted to have a home that had a name"
Every week I will post a new picture of the outside of the house and any names that are submitted during that week. We look forward to hearing your suggestions.

I want it to be something that is easy and comfortable to say - the property we live on is called "Hidden Springs" because when they dug the original well they only went down 40 feet as compared to a hundred plus feet and the water came gushing out of the ground.

Hey Sher...
ReplyDeleteYou always refer to your new home as the "homestead"...why don't you call it just that..."THE HOMESTEAD". That name just about covers it all!

Thanks Rachael for your comment.. I am so glad you gave your opinion.. I am going to start putting up how many votes for each name... Keep watching - lots of new pics coming.

The Valley Nest - its on the right track, but not quite. How about Nestled Valley or just Valley Nest. Three words makes it too wordy!
mom i think the name has to either represent family or has to represent the beginning of the rest of yours and dads life together...obviously we are still a huge part of your guys life and i miss being close to you guys and living with you but i think it would be cool if the name of the house had something to do with just you two and your fresh start seeing as how the house represents u guys and everything you wanted i think the name should represent that as well it should be something that is you and dad and only you and dad...just a thought from your youngest :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sher..How about these names...
ReplyDeleteHeartland Home
Heritage Home
Woodland Retreat
Island Dreams
Sounds like the kids is doing some deep thinkin these days... Okay - I think you may have a point so come up with some names... Big Boy.
ReplyDeletehahah momsey

ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you guys!

Woodside or Woodlands sounds good, however, Woodlands is the name of the institution where they retreated people horribly back in the day. So I'm not sure thats a good choice or maybe I just associate too much.
